Hello Hostel — Hotel in Almaty

One of the best housing option in Almaty The disadvantages include only the fact that it is difficult to find it - few people know Maulenov street.

But again, $5 per night, and overall as a solo female traveler I felt very...

Really cheap and good. The girls at the reception are very kind even if they must stay for two night shifts consecutives, they'll be smiling. They speak very well english and are really helpful and workers. Rooms are quite okay, maybe some aconditionated air would make it better for Almaty's hot summers. It also has lockers and a fridge.
