"In decades of staying in hostels around the world, I've never encountered such unfriendly staff. Specifically, the young woman with straight pulled-back hair ignored me; worse, the older short gray haired kitchen woman several times barked at me for opening the communal fridge to put and take out my food. On the third instances, I shouted at her to at least say 'please' (in Russian). I felt self-conscious ever after in the kitchen when she was there. There was no instruction about entry access...

Top Almaty Hotel Reviews

Renion Park Hotel

Renion Park Hotel

8/10 Good
"This hotel is definitely dated and not at all stylish (don’t believe the maybe-AI-enhanced photos). But it was clean, very centrally located, pretty comfortable, and had a very friendly and helpful team. With two kids, getting a larger room was a godsend - we even had a separate bedroom with a door that closed. And they had the sofa bed all set up upon our arrival which many hotels wouldn’t remember to do. Plus amenities were good, all the slippers, water bottles, shower caps, sewing kits etc you could need. Breakfast was a pretty good selection and left us very satisfied for days of exploring. We didn’t try the pool area. Overall, a good stay!"
