Lock in a great price for Almaty Backpackers – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great facilities that were consistently clean. Nafissa and Ken on the staff were top class and attentive to requests/questions. Good and secure location with nice outdoor space + common room

Nursultan, United States of America

Awesome staff - helped me a lot from printing documents from me to giving me meds for the cold. Good location though not central, quite and feels like home. Hearty breakfest, they arrange tours and help a lot, lots of other travellers. Good place and I highly recommend.

Meirav, Israel

I had a room. The bed was fairly comfortable and good sized. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They made me breakfast past the cut off time as I was jet lagged. I met some great people at the hostel, it has a nice informal/friendly atmosphere. The shuttle service was on time to pick me up at the airport at 5 am!

Apurva, United Kingdom

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

A clean and comfortable place. It's a great place to arrange trips to the surrounding area. The staff are really friendly and try hard to organise groups for trips.

The room was situated right next to the lounge area so it got a bit loud at times. The bathroom was fairly basic - could be better. The room was a bit cold.

I think that only 2 bathrooms included toilets for many persons are uncomfortable. If you want to miss the queue for waiting the shower/toilet then you should go in the early morning or in the early afternoon period. Sometimes, the rooms are gender mixed. Sometimes, it is hard to sleep (background noise, beds).
Good location. Very kind staff. Good possibilities to explore the local attractions. Chill out garden. Warm atmosphere.
