Alma-Ata Hostel

Location

One shower and the tiles are broken because of that I cut my foot.

The location was fantastic, within walking distance from most places of interest and extremely close to the Ascension Cathedral. The lockers were huge. The beds in the dorm room were above average.

I wasn't very impressed with this accommodation. The wifi was atrociously bad. The bathroom situation was particularly troubling. The toilet was broken. It wasn't even attached to the floor properly. The toilet paper would run out, and it would take hours for someone to replace it. What's more, there aren't enough facilities for the number of people they've crammed into this place. It's comical how many desperate people swarm around the door, waiting for their turn. The staff were friendly enough to me, but they seem miserable if you can ever find them.
