Almaty Backpackers

This hostel is very social and has really good and efficient staff, Valentin has been great and has made sure we enjoyed our stay. The hostel however is run down, the owner knows the hostel will be full because it social, and the toilets, beds, floors, facilities are not in good condition on not super clean. There is no lockers in the rooms, no curtains and the kitchen was disgusting. Beds are creaky and the linen are so short every night it comes out of the mattress.

super biceps and the staff is amazing! thank you so much for your kindness ( valentin,emma and aisultan)! wil highly recommend it

Valentin is the sweetest person on earth ! The hostel is really nice to meet people and also the location is good. I really recommend it ;)

Such a great social hostel. Definitely recommend!

Great place!

Very friendly staff and super social ambience! Not the best location but essy acces to the public bus and you can go anywhere

The hostel is great for meeting other travellers, very social and also the people at the reception are really nice and helpful. The beds were fine. However the bathroom situation is terrible. There’s only 3 bathrooms for the whole hostel.

Good hostel for meeting other travellers. Unfortunately, the facilities are not very good. Too many beds, not enough bathrooms. Cleanliness varied, despite at least 1 woman cleaning all day. Need to employ at least one more person. I started in 4 bed dorm on the top floor. Mattress was soft & uncomfortable & left me with a sore back. (1 night in 6 bed dorm, mattress there fine.) 4bed dorm was hot. Curtains didn't cover the windows. Bathroom was a floor below, via steep spiral stairs. Location...

Great hospitality. I really enjoyed my stay.

i love my divas aisultan and valentin ❤️

Wow - Almaty Backpackers what a cool place to stay at while exploring Almaty and the surrounding areas! Spacious backyard patio perfect for reading, relaxing and sunbathing! Fun activities organized by the friendly staff included; barbeque, beerparty and even a trip to the Playboy club where there was a fabulous dragshow!! Highly recommended...;-)

The hostel is social, has a good vibe, and is very cozy. The receptionist is very kind and friendly. Would be nice if there were curtains on the dorm beds, but besides that, I’d recommend!

Staff is very rude they gave my bed to someone when I was out. And when i asked them to change the bed-sheet they said they don’t have time i have to change it by myself.

Social hostel

Excellent place. Clean, excellent courtyard and outside area, with laundry facilities and plenty of room to dry clothes. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the guests were all having a good time and respectful of common areas. Excellent kitchen with a gas stove and plenty of fridge space, and nearby markets; I was able to cook for my stay. The only minor downsides are the location (a bit of a walk to get anywhere) and low amount of restrooms. Besides that, excellent place! Thank you!

A solid, basic hostel. Location is pretty weird with not heaps to offer, though a short walk from the metro. No signage, staff said the area is known for break-ins so that’s why they don’t advertise.. eeek. Varied guests in age and origin, some friendly backpackers but not a ‘social’ hostel. Rooms, beds, bathrooms, general facilities and amenity super basic but fine. On the positives - Aisultan at the front desk is divine! Hostel offering in Almaty is limited so this may be best there i...

This is a fine hostel. Surprisingly social when I was there which was great. The staff are a bit absent even though they are there all the time they aren’t really available or overly helpful. Facilities are fine, warm Showers and good kitchen set up

i stayed 2 night staff helpful

I stayed in the private room at this hostel, which was located in the basement. Although it does state this fact when booking, the room was actually not very clean. The showers were also not very clean. However, the host at reception was friendly and helpful.

Nice place and the room is clean and staff were polite
