“I really liked the people in the hostel, including the guests and hosts. The hostel has its own atmosphere.”

“Ok, I reserved Loco almost a month ahead and could not make it, my flight was delayed and I decided not to go because of some issues. I forgot to cancel the reservation and the admin called me about 23.00 and asked how was I doing and am I planning to come at this time. This was sooooo nice, thanks so much! I am sorry I did not cancel on time, promise to come to Loco next time :-)” Read more

“Considering prices in Almaty, the studio I stayed in was good. The mini market just beside open 24 hours is very handy. The owner is very nice and always willing to help. The studio is spacious and the area is quite”

“Good atmosphere. Although not in the centre, food and shop options nearby which are very good. Metro station 10min walk away. Offer tours which we enjoyed very much to Almaty Lake. Excellent wifi”

“The best hostel I have stayed for a very long time. In more details: the biggest advantage of the hostel is Oljaz who is very friendly and helpful. At the begining he allow us to take a shower after night flight and then he organised for us 2 days trip to Charyn Canyon, Kainly Lake and Kolsay Lake with a night in regional house (for a good price). He showed us Kazakhstan from the local side. Atfer the trip he upgraded us to a studio (for the same price as a double room). Near to the hostel is bus stop and grocery shops.” Read more

“We were upgraded to a studio (for the same price as a double room). It was very comfortable and had everything you need, including a microwave, fridge, boiler, cups/plates/cutlery... So that was super good value for money! Location is good with maybe shops and restaurants around. Walking to the metro takes 10min and takes you to the city centre very conveniently and cheap. We could also use the washing machine at no extra charge.” Read more

“Long story short: the best hostel I have stayed for a very Long time. In more details: the biggest advantage of the hostel is Oljaz who is very friendly and helpful. We wanted to go to Charyn Canyon and he took us there (not for free). We spend there nice day and later he even create and shared a video with us, which was a great recap of the trip. He also offered us to take a shower after the trip and stay in the hostel until our return flight. He printed our boarding passes and gave us a lift to Green Market. He definitely exceeded our expectations as a host. ” Read more

“There was clean, comfortable room. Polite staff. There is good supermarket on the same billing.”

“The colourful character of the place - there’s beautiful, bright paintings everywhere but not too much that it gives a headache. The manager (Oljas) was friendly and approachable and I appreciated the fact that I could WhatsApp him if I had any questions. The bathroom was very clean, as were the rooms and common area. Everything was very comfortable. The other guests were lovely - this would be luck but I loved it.” Read more
