I enjoyed the warm, welcoming of the receptionist, Rose.
The bed was super comfortable, big room, quiet, big common area, super clean.
I appreciate also a lot that the bed was already made, and to have a towel included.
Supermarket next door.

The kitchen hood isn't working. There's a smell of sweat throughout the hostel. The mat in the store is made in such a way that you can break your neck the first time.

Amazing property and awesome hosts! The hostel has comfortable rooms, a spacious kitchen, a coworking place and several bathrooms with hairdryers. The location is also nice and it’s easy to get from the hostel to the city centre. Last but not least, there’s a shop nearby, which has almost anything you might need.

Everything is extremely big - living room, rooms, bathrooms, co-working space... Yes, there is a co-working space! It's amazing for people who are travelling and working at the same time like me. The laundry service is for FREE! And they even give you powder for free for the first time. There's even an inside pool! Big kitchen, big dining room with lots of tables and chairs. The Wi-Fi connection is good, there are plugs everywhere for you to charge your laptop. After the problem with the owner, she gave me a discount on one of my nights there. The place is pretty hostel-like, people are ready to talk and stuff, and it really makes you feel at home.
There's no drying service for your clothes. The place is located in a lost place, even Kazakh people told me that they have never been to this area and it's indeed far from the center - Almaty is huge, though. I had a big problem at the beginning of my stay here: apparently you can't check-in later than 10PM, which I was not aware of as I didn't receive any message (even an automated one). I contacted the owner of the hostel the same day of my stay but I received no response, neither on Booking nor on Whatsapp. Apparently there are also two hostels, owned by the same owner, and the address is confused on maps. I ended up going to this other hostel, which was nowhere to be found and which didn't help me with the situation. I eventually found this place at 3AM. I called everybody but nobody responded. The door was luckily open, but no receptionist was there to attend me. One of the guests called him to check me in. The receptionist doesn't speak English. I then texted the owner, who gave me a really inappropriate attitude, but then excused herself and found a compromise with me. Finally, there is an inside pool, but it's empty.

I liked everything, the hostel itself is quite spacious and there is no shortage of space, a large dining room, a kitchen, its own mini supermarket and a polite administrator. Clean air and spacious yard. Great location!

So great!
First the extraordinary hospitality from staff/owner and their enthusiasm: Aighirin was helpful and caring all the time and made me feel welcomed and at home. Assem, the owner, helped me with info and managed to get my pdf boarding card printed after trying for, I think, more than one hour.
What else I enjoyed:
- lots of space, room, kitchen,
- perfectly clean,
- absolute silence for a great sleep,
- lighty, big windows everywhere
- minimarket inside the hostel
- comfortable bed, for a good sleep
- small details that made my stay comfortable and easy: lockers, WiFi, power sockets, free tea, well equipped kitchen, towels, warm (outside temperature was down to minus 13 at night)
