Reviews of Tomiris Lady's Capsul hostel only for women

Overall good.

Jeny was the best person in the Hostel. She helped me to book a tour.

If you're looking for a safe space to stay as a solo female traveller, this would be one of them.

Nice people nice hostel

A nice clean apartment, seems newly renovated. Absolute steal for what I've paid and definitely the best place I've slept in in Almaty. So cozy and comfortable! Also, they let us keep the bags in the reception even after checkout.

The lady at the reception desk does not speak English but she's an angel truly.

The place is very clean, the cleaning lady cleans the whole property daily. The breakfast is simple but quite nice and there's a decent amount of options. The guests are mostly older and local, and there isn't a big social vibe, but I did have some lovely and pleasant conversations. The location is far from most of the attractions and a bit far from public transportation, but it's very walkable to many supermarkets and restaurants, which is nice. It's very safe, the neighborhood seems pretty nice, and the only way to get into the hostel is to open the door from the inside. This can be a bit awkward if you get back late at night though, and have to wake someone up to let you in.

The place is very small, and seems to be pretty booked up, even during slow season. It's not the kind of hostel where you'll ever catch the bathroom to yourself, and there was often a bit of a traffic jam to get to your locker/storage space. The staff is constantly around, and I felt at times they were watching everything I did to make sure I did it right. I think they might check the cameras as well, because at times they would coincidentally walk into the room to fix something right after I had an issue with it. You do kind of feel like you're constantly in the way of others, and if you're there past breakfast you WILL be in the way of the cleaning lady. This makes it not the best place to hang out during the day, or to work, but luckily there are some nice coffee shops nearby. Overall, it's nice but definitely not your typical traveler's hostel. I would recommend this place to an older guest who's looking for somewhere quiet, and planning to be gone most of the day.

Breakfast is fantastic! Self service which means somewhat free flow and eat at your own time own target instead of host needing to check what time for breakfast for most other hostel or guesthouses I have stayed in. Bed is clean and comfortable. Being ladies only hostel does make it more comfortable. I like the many toilet and shower cubicles - it feels less worrying in not having to wait to use them when needed. Location is okay, some amenities nearby. Close to fastfood - an equivalent of MacDonalds in Almaty.

Hostel is hardly noticeable somewhat half a floor below street level. The entrance is quite cramp and at certain times of the day the door of the entrance is locked so entering in or going out needs go through a small gap at the side. Pricier compared to most hostel or capsule hotel. I didn't like it that left baggage is chargeable at 1000KZT per day, which makes it expensive when I am 2 or more days away on a tour to pay baggage storage.

I loved having my own capsule - especially since I was there for 5 days. Yet the time flew by! The breakfast was great. The facility was clean. The staff was helpful. And it was so quiet, too - I felt very comfortable in this space and I am so glad they had air conditioning and a water filter. The free tea and coffee was a blessing, too - I needed the extra caffeine boost one afternoon! When I first arrived, it took me a few moments to realize that the property is located on the lower level of the building, just below street level.

Amazing and safe place to stay for solo women travellers!

Everyone is so friendly here. Breakfast so good.very safe and clean.you will have good memories in this hostel

Tomiris is the best hostel I've stayed at. It's incredibly clean, is safe for solo travellers, is close to the city centre, and has polite and helpful staff. The capsules are pretty big - you don't feel claustrophobic and you have privacy. The staff doesn't speak English but you can manage with Google Translate. I was there for 14 days and I loved every single day.

Breakfast 🥞

The location was great - accessible by cab, near the river, and there was a nearby supermarket and some cafes and restaurants. Staff were really nice, on my last day they allowed me to relax in the property while waiting for my evening flight. Though the staff couldn't speak English, she was responsive and helpful at all times. We had the separate room, and it was clean and had everything we needed. Simple but complete. Slept well, wasnt that noisy at all even if the room was at street level. Area feels safe enough too. Since it's a hostel for ladies, we also felt very safe.

One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Was able to sit up straight in the bed, which is rare. The bed frame was built into the wall, so it didn't shake when people climbed on/off. Bathrooms very clean, towel and bedding provided, lockers large with plenty of space for a medium suitcase. Breakfast was simple but yummy, provided 8-10am, and snacks also left in the kitchen. Easy access to kettle, microwave and fridge. Hostel spoke English.

We were shushed in the sleeping room in the morning, but on the other hand it was very noisy through the night, which seemed a bit incoherent. Toilet stalls are small (knees hit the door).

Clean and organized

The hostel was clean and comfortable but lacked warmth and hospitality. Communication was poor, and as a foreign traveler, I felt unwelcome. After a long overnight flight, I wasn’t even allowed to rest in the common area before check in time, despite the hostel being empty. I had planned to stay longer but left early—wouldn’t recommend for those seeking a welcoming experience.

Very quiet and peaceful place. Very affordable prices, friendly staff, all you need is there- kitchen, breakfast, fridge, shower, washing, etc
