Very good backpackers hostel. Very helpful and friendly staff, great homemade breakfast which varied each day. Lots of friendly interaction between the guests with many tips for onward journeys.

Peter Canada

Uilllia speak little English but she will have google translate to communicate with you. Kara is well spoken english and she can direct and assist you for tours and information around Almaty. Kitchen is complete but cleanliness in the kitchen needs to be improved. Room cleanliness and toilet is maintained. Just the kitchen cleanliness. WiFi connection on ground floor is good and quite fast. Good hospitality

The Hostel has cozy dorm beds and a chilled out vibe - great to meet other travelers. The staff and the volunteers were lovely and nice and really made you feel like home. The breakfast was very yummy and cooked with a lot of love ;) The location was near the bus going to Medeo and near a big supermarket
