Guest Reviews

• 珮翎 (1/5): - 沒有 櫃檯人員很不友善 我們已連續續住三晚 最後一天不讓我們寄放行李 第一次遇到旅館不能寄放行李的 如果不能寄放 我們住公寓即可 不用住這裡
• Uddin (10/5): -
• Raim (8/5): Было круто классно хорошее местоположение опять же очень классно вежливый персонал но хотелось бы чтобы все ходили в сан - Очень классный персонал девушка которая там работала ресепшене максимально помогла дружелюбно и большое То что вместо того чтобы ходить сандалях в тапочках все ходили в обуви и немного как будто бы плохой интернет
• Zhuldiz (5/5): -
• Mikhail (8/5): Cheap, clean, friendly staff, free decent breakfast, good location, beds were comfortable - Easy check in One men’s bathroom was broken, only one other available for the whole floor. 30-60min wait to use shower or bathroom since it’s all in the same room.
• niyaz (7/5): -
• Alexander (4/5): - Nice location - in the center and close to the metro. Great shower for hostel. Decent breakfast. Caplsules are ordinary bunk beds sheathed with chipboard, moreover upper row not covered at all, so you can enjoy at the fullest talks of Friday drunkards at 3 a.m., plus flickering light, plus freezing cold from open windows(because first row of capsules have little to no ventilation and residents from there love to open windows in the middle of the night. I had hardly any sleep two out of four nights there.
• Gerard (10/5): Dziękuję Ulzhan - Przede wszystkim dziękuję Ұлжан (Ulzhan) za pomoc okazaną podczas naszego pobytu. W pokoju dużo przestrzeni; kuchnia dostępna i dobrze wyposażona. Możliwość wyprania i wysuszenia ubrania. dobra lokalizacja, blisko metra.

• Nándor (7/5): Good hostel just steps away from a metro station - It is just steps away from a metro station, which is a huge plus. The hostel is basically okay, the beds are big and comfortable, they provide one cabinet and a locker, so enough space. There are two floors, and I was in the basement, which was not the best place to stay. Also, the water temperature was constantly changing in the shower, which also reduced the comfort. No worries, basically the place is okay.
• Soumyajit (10/5): -
• Anastasiya (8/5): Отличное расположение. Приветливый персонал. Полотенца уставшие. Яркий свет в ячейке для сна. Завтрак мне не подошел (ка - Рядом с метро. От аэропорта примерно 20 минут на такси. Полотенца и завтрак не понравились. Яркие лампочки у кровати.
• Раха (8/5): -
• HEEGYEONG (8/5): - - 커튼이 아니라 나무 문으로 분리되어 있어요 - 직원들이 친절해요 - 가격이 합리적이에요 - 매일 관리 잘 해주십니다 - 1분 거리에 마트가 있고, 가까이 카페와 CU 편의점이 있어요 - 샤워실 수압 괜찮고 온수 잘 나옵니다 - 2층침대였는데 방도 따뜻했어요 - 지하1층에 방이 위치했고 엘베에서 내려서 방으로 가는곳이 가깝지만 아주 어두워요 - 직원이 여자방 비밀번호, 라커 비밀번호 알려줄때 보안이 지켜지지 않았어요 주변에 여러 남자 손님들이 있었는데 다 알 수 있게 알려주셨어요 - 저렴한 가격에 조식이 포함돼있는데 아주 간단하고 음식이 짠 편이에요 - 변기물이 깨끗한 물로 채워지는거 같지는 않았어요
• Konstantin (9/5): -
• gilang endra (8/5): - The location in near metro station Nope
• jerzy (7/5): Ałmaty ekstremalnie ale miło. - Bardzo życzliwa obsługa. Dobre śniadanie choć mogłoby być trochę warzyw. Jest dużo udogodnień i super lokalizacja. Stosunek ceny do jakości idealne miejsce dla globtroterów i podróżników chcący poznać Ałmaty. Idealne na 2 - 3 dni .
• Пунинская (10/5): - Ставлю 10 из 10! Перепутала день заселения и забыла исправить на сайте, помогли переоформить и вернули деньги за переплату. Вежливый персонал! Помогли дотащить чемоданы до такси, ставлю жирный лайк!

• Assylbek (8/5): -
• Natho (10/5): - The polite staff and the cleanliness in the hotel attracted my attention. The hotel is so calm and the breakfast was so good. The area near the hotel is so walkable to access for shops/ supermarket/shopping Mall etc.
• Yilmaz (10/5): -
• aparecida de cassia (8/5): Razoável - A capsula é muito boa. Cama confortável. Estacao de trem na frente. Bom para uma curta estadia. Atendentes agradáveis sempre dispostas a ajudar. Quando cheguei so havia 1 banheiro feminino disponível e 2 masculinos. Apos 2 dias no caos da fila liberaram o outro banheiro feminino. O cafe não foi do meu gosto. Muita fritura. Preferi comer ao lado onde tem um mercado local ao lado. Internet não funcionava dentro do quarto.
• Kleber Kj (8/5): -
• aizhan (6/5): Постельное белье не отстиранное и старое . Сами номера в подвальных помещениях и оттого не очень комфортно. Один санузел -

• Айнур (10/5): В принципе нормально - Расположение до посольства рф, вежливый персонал и чистота В нашей комнате было холодно, хотя окна были закрыты
• Zhuldiz (2/5): -
• Sanghoon (8/5): - 조식 맛있어요 침구류도 깨끗합니다 샤워시설도 온수 잘 나오고 깔끔하긴 한데 물이 잘 안 내려갑니다 군대샤워 익숙하시면 문제없을정도
• Adrian (9/5): -
• Joycelyn (7/5): Okay hostel for a short stay - Capsule was a decent size and comfortable. There was very little airflow though which made it quite hot and the air con was always turned off at night and had to sleep with the door open. The bathrooms are very decent but you may have to go to other floors to find one available. There is a mini fridge in the room which is handy. The hostel is full of locals who live there as residents almost so the vibe was not great. Some are with their kids. I wouldnt say I felt super safe all the time, especially when having to go up to the kitchen via elevator at night but the rooms have electronic locks on them. For some reason the locals kept the light off all the time in the room and because it has no windows the room is fully dark all day.
• Дархан (10/5): -
• Галымбек (10/5): -
• Chloé (8/5): - Ideally located near a metro station (Alatau), clean beds and modern amenities. Polite receptionists who speak English. 8/10, would recommend.
• Bence (9/5): -
• Jaromir (10/5): - Great location, excellent complimentary breakfast, complimentary tea and coffee. Clean, wifi worked well everywhere. Working are with chairs, tables and electricity sockets. Lockers available and even bigger backpacks can fit in. Hostel uses code locks to enter the hostel, to enter each room and to open the lockers. However, all these passwords, together with wifi password, are very simple, easy to guess, so it brings no extra security. Master password for lockers should be something more complicated imho and staff should enter it carefully (when resetting the password for new user), so that noone else can see it.
• Nessibeli (8/5): -
• Sara (7/5): - La posizione è ideale perché è vicinissima alla metro. La struttura ha un’ampia mensa e ha la colazione inclusa. Il fatto che si trovasse al piano -1

• Antonio Macovei (9/5): Good capsule stay in Almaty - The staff was really nice, showed me around even though I arrived late from the airport. The capsule is good size, the hotel has a kitchen with some amenities. I always like hostels that offer the privacy of a capsule, and this one had a good price for the services offered. There could be more bathrooms, since there usually is a queue (only 3 on my floor). The bathrooms are also kind of cramped and not really clean, but you can manage anyway. The location is pretty far from the main tourist places, but it's walkable if you want to feel the city better.
• Alexander Borisenko (10/5): Шикарный вариант за малые деньги - Очень большой и чистый номер. Небольшой но качественный, сытный и горячий завтрак. Расположен прямо у станции метро. В ближайшем расположении с магазинами и ресторанами. Прекрасно отзывчивый персонал, помогал со всеми возникающими вопросами. Рядом с номером была кухня, где можно было погреть еду или что-то приготовить. В номере переодически были слышны звуки сливающейся воды в трубах; не работал пульт от телевизора (использовали кнопки внизу телевизора)
• HONG (8/5): - 交通很方便，这个城市两个东西方向大道，一条是从大巴车站位置的东西方向，一条是沿着地铁方向。这家店从大巴车站坐公交车，二十分钟左右就能到。距离地铁口只有30米，到哪都很方便。 这个店在主干道上面，晚上有路灯比较安全。 提供毛巾，沐浴液和拖鞋，前台也很热情。
• attila (10/5): - One of the best hostel I have ever stayed at.
• AINUR (7/5): -
• Юлия (6/5): В целом хороший вариант для экономии или если вы крепко спите. В этих случаях +++ перевешивают - - - - - Завтрак, расположение, удобства понравились - Уютный хостел - Цена - Персонал нормальный (кто-то более приветливый, кто-то менее) - в целом норм На полотенце было пятно ржавчины (вроде бы оно чистое, но въевшееся пятно все-равно неприятно видеть). Чистота простыни на кровати вызвала вопросы. У меня сложилось впечатление, что ее не перестилали и на ней кто-то спал до меня (она была потерта и присутствовало пару волосинок). Мне понравилось, что отель капсульный и есть приватное пространство, хотя перегородки не шумоизолирующие и всех слышно. Разочавана этим фактом, т.к. я надеялась, что смогу спокойно поспать в капсульном отеле, так как у меня чуткий сон. По итогу нормально не спала - все время просыпалась.
• Liliya (8/5): - Расположение хотела, рядом автобусная остановка и метро. Полноценный завтрак Номер был расположен в подвале здания, в номере душно. Рядом с номером была душевая и туалет, который был забит к утру и был неприятный запах. В душевых не было мыла и геля для душа.
• Yongsick (6/5): - 도시 중심가라서 좋아습니다 숙소가 지하에 있어 배수 문제가 선결 되어아 합니다. 화장실 샤워장이 같이 있어 수시로 배수가 제대로 되지 않아 물이 넘쳐 아침이먼 바쁩니다
• Ina Bartuley (10/5): - Я остановлюсь в хостеле на две недели. Здесь всё очень спокойно и рядом есть много разных магазинов. Рядом есть станция Метро Алатау. А также остановки автобуса.
• Marina (5/5): - Небольшая цена, подойдёт для пары ночей Грязновато в комнате, персонал не очень желал делиться информацией, все надо было выпрашивать:) а чтоб что-то уточнять, спускаться со 2го этажа на 1ый, что не очень удобно. Например ничего не сказали про индивидуальный ящик на кодовом замке, не сказали, что для завтрака надо на ресепшн брать талон и тд
• Leon (4/5): - Die Lage, die Betten, der Preis Badezimmer waren absolut eklig und wurden nur selten sauber gemacht. In den Duschen ist das Wasser nicht abgeflossen. Wir waren in den Zimmern im Keller, zu denen man nur mit einem Aufzug hinkam. Keine Fenster, keine frische Luft. Nach einer gewissen Zeit rauchte einem der Kopf dort drinnen. Auch die Atmosphäre war zum Teil sehr drückend.
• Luis (3/5): The hostel need to improve certain areas - Comfortable bed Nice polite and English speaking staff 1.- Not enough toilets/showers of two of them one was flooded (and no toilet paper). 2.- There was a guy who wake up at 2:00 am to pray in loud voice (enough to wake up the other people); which I consider profoundly disrespectful for the other people sleeping and they MUST include NOT doing that in the rules. 3.- The room was too hot I was even sweating when about to sleep.
• Marc Stadler (4/5): Disappointing stay - The location was good and the beds themselves were decent. I liked the curtains for privacy. The pictures are highly deceiving. I stayed in the dorms located in the basement. The whole area was quite dirty but especially the bathrooms. The floor was wet and dirty, toilet paper was often not available and the toilet itself was dirty from other guests. The atmosphere of the hostel was not social at all, it seems to be more aimed towards locals who stay there for a longer time and not for travelers. People ignore you when you try to make smalltalk and you wake up to various alarms that people snooze constantly. Not a fault of the hostel but this is the reality of staying there. There are lockers inside the room without a lock. Outside the rooms they have lockers where you can put your own combination. The issue is that all lockers open with the default 123456789# combination as well, a major security risk. I was shown this combination by staff which makes this even more problematic. The free breakfast is ok but nothing special. All in all I do not recommend this hostel. You can get much better options for less money where you can actually meet other travelers and have clean ammenities.
• Manuel (6/5): It's a cheap capsules hostel in the middle of a city. For a couple of days is ok. - Rooms are good, capsules are also good, bed are also god. I had a proper sleep. Sheets and towels were provided properly. Fair price for what I received. Bathrooms. There were 4. 2 of them out of service and the other two very messy in every moment of the day. Also, rooms are in -1 so no natural light, and all white cold lightning which is terrible at any moment of the day.
• Abilkhair (9/5): -
• Rowald (9/5): -
• Juliano (10/5): - As meninas que trabalham no Gagarin são muito lindas e de comportamento muito delicado. Eu tinha vergonha de olhar para elas e perguntar qualquer dúvida. Nossa... Fiquei em transe. Só volto ao normal amanhã, quando for embora. 🙏🙏
• Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay, good location, very clean, staff are excellent, breakfast was good, would definitely recommend, Nothing
• Wayne (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay, good location, well run, staff friendly, very clean, good breakfast, would definitely recommend, Nothing.
• Oliver (1/5): Bad -
• Isaganie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vengatraman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Giacomo (5/5): Passable - Nothing really First of all it’s not a capsule hotel, those are just beds with a door. The location is far from the center, you need taxis to move around. The room was in a literal basement, even on the door it says “laundry room”. No windows, very closed environment. The toilet was not finished, so much restructuring needed. Definitely wouldn’t go again, forget about the “nice” pictures they have. The staff has also very basic English
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Hok (9/5): Superb -
• Lemuel (8/5): Very good - It’s worth it for the price.Near grocery store and 2 minutes walk from property to subway station.
• Daryl (10/5): Clean and comfortable - Cleanliness and organized
• Diego (7/5): Good - Common areas are ok. Location is good, not the best but it's ok. Staff doesn't speak English and it's hard to communicate with them. It's still under construction and there's noise all the time.
• Denis (8/5): Very good -
• Sean (7/5): Good - The breakfast is decent. For the price, it is enjoyable. The staff is polite, there are almost always rooms available last minute and the rooms were always clean. I've stayed there several times and I'm happy to go back. Staff usually speak english which is a nice plus. I mean, the breakfast is only "ok" and to be honest, there are better places for the price for the non-capsule rooms. The large room is especially pricy for what you're getting. Basically a big, empty room.
• Riskulov (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tamara-zhanna (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect place!
• Jasmin (10/5): Overall experience was really good - Hotel breakfast was not good The room dint have blinds It was broken and was not fixed which invaded my privacy
• Irina.g (8/5): Very good - Location. Friendly staff. It is not about hostel but other guests. It was a bit noisy
• Kshitiz (8/5): Very good -
• Anastassiya (9/5): Superb - ✓ staff; ✓ location; ✓ infrastructure around (shops, cafés, public transport); ✓ finger prints entrance; ✓ cosmic conception; ✓ zoning; ✓ free coffee & tea-bags for guests; ✓ towels & free sleepers; ✓ for the capsule the room was quite spacious. ✓ just 2 bathrooms. Would be better, if there were separate toilets & showers. Queues. ✓ not pet-friendly; ✓ a little bit expensive.

• Alexander (8/5): Very nice stay - The hostel was pretty good. Breakfast was good for one you don't pay at all. Shampoo, soap, everything was good. Even if I stayed for 1 night only, I faced that toilets were out of paper twice. They should just leave an extra one in advance and check it later. The bed was not amazing, but still good.
• Zubeyir (8/5): Very good -
• Lystia (8/5): Very good -
• Irina.g (10/5): Exceptional - All was great. Clean, no significant noise. It was a pleasure to relax as I was on a business trip. Friendly and sweet staff. Pretty much satisfied with everything.
• Irina.g (8/5): Very good - The location is great. Right next to the metro station. Cleanliness.
• Georges (8/5): Very good -
