The terrace is awesome but the staff are the highlight! Beds were comfy. Free hot/cold drinking water is provided too and a decent equipped kitchen, which admittedly we didn’t use. They organised a tour for us too.

i stayed in a huge triple room. lots of space, lots of plugs. wifi working fine almost all the time. bathroom is next door. the bed mattrass is not comfy, but if you use the duvet as the lower bedsheet then it's alright. staff is quite helpful, they let me print my boarding pass from their pc, thanks! Sky Hostel is at the 11th floor of a white apartment tower on the corner, there are good views from the terrace. unfortunately the triple room windows do not open, and room is facing west, so it gets hot on sunny afternoons. there is aircon though. location is good, very close to Abay str. and the central stadium. price is somewhat high but all considered it's ok, even if it's more expensive than other hostels in Almaty. there is no breakfast included, so i got a little refund for that. Sky Hostel is a very good option for a stayover in Almaty and i'll choose it again, if i ever come back to Kaz.

Staff is amazing. I had some problems with a taxi driver at night. The people in the hostle helped me with arguing with him and to find a solution. The girl behind the resception is great! She took her time to think with me where to go during the day. She will even help me via whatsapp if for example i have a language problem while in a restaurant or someting. Also helped me find my taxi when i was unable to locate it. Just amazing

I'd stayed at another hotel in Almaty before this one, and was blown away by how much better Sky Hostel was. Large rooms that were well fitted out and clean, a 24 hour reception with really helpful staff, happy to help arrange trips or onward travel, and an amazing roof terrace with fantastic views. I will often get a private room in a hostel rather than a hotel when I travel alone - and this was definitely a good decision here!

My towel disappeared, just wondering who needs this? Everything is quite old and tired, at some places it was dirty and broken, like inside of the beds and shower taps. A lot of locals living permanently with not-friendly looks, listening music at full volume in the rooms, slamming doors, hardly could get some rest. No tea, coffee found.
It wasnt crowded and great view from the roof!

in my booking there was a private bathroom. it was a share with another room. it is booking.com and not hostel fault. cleaning was poor. the rooms were as if they were half finished. we suddenly had to pay and were knocked up in the room because they lacked money to pay for some craftsmen. I didn't have the cash with which the staff seemed somewhat unhappy. their card machine did not work even though we tried 4 different cards. they thought it was our card that had something wrong with it and not their machine. the bathrooms were dilapidated. the toilet board was not stuck and there was cold water in the morning. I know well it says you have to wait 15 min, but I had to reach a plane very early, then got up at 03.45 and don't expect me to get up 15 min before that time to get a hot bath. there was even smoked hashish on the terrace in the evening. They had promissed to arrange a taxi in the morning, they did not, I have to wake the staff to book a taxi

“Ok for one night for the rooftop curiousity, but not more”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
Hit or miss staff, a few are cool, but the others have a too fake attitude, know-it-all without knowledge, very indiscrete questions while not willing to dialogue, overpriced advices, just profiteering thinking. Lack of information doenst help to sell overpriced tour : we have internet. Laundry : lack of pinces, so if you put it on the rooftop, beware of winds. No personal lockers, just one luggage room that is located in a bed dorm (so expect a few come in and come outs if you pick the mixed dorm one). Socialising : dont expect the rooftop to be a plus for the weekends. There are no safety ramps ! So during the weekend, a movie watching in local language would be scheduled, not parties obviously. Quiet. No breakfast for that price. Last and to be seriously taken care of : General cleanliness seems a bit random - i suspect it to be not careful enough and it might lead to issues for future guest not to check the floor/matresses.
The rooftop is nice, only for weekdays night chilling, not partying. Even though, quite unpersonal atmosphere as there are no volunteer / social organised over there. Kitchen available, bathroom and wifi are ok. The girl who checked me in dressed in yellow was cool, helpful and humble.
