Imeni Stalina Holidays from AU$1,091

Add more options for vegetarians

Fair warning this is a 3 star hotel not a 5 star as advertised. For the money there are much better options in the city. Pros: breakfast was excellent. Atrium looks impressive. Ambience for the restaurant in the front of the property (yurt in a nicely landscaped lawn area). Cons: hotel is tired looking and in serious need of renovations. Atrium smells of diesel fumes i suspect being used to power the glass elevators. Rooms have some tech upgrades (electric curtains, lots of light button options, tv and google alexa voice cube) however dismal air-conditioning. The coolest I could get my room was 24 degrees. They did switch my room but same story in the second room despite a visit from maintenence to check the ac. 'It's very small' as per him. Do not stay here if you prefer sleeping in a cool environment.

This hotel, Hotel Kazzhol Almaty, is a very well managed hotel. Every detail is just right. I really couldn’t be picky for anything. If I could, I hope to have more tea bags and coffee bags in room, along with sweeteners for travelers with diabetes. The hotel’s location is convenient with supermarkets and pharmacy nearby. It is close to a main street where various stores are .
