Beste Wellnesshotels in Almaty

On a holiday in Kazakhstan for 15 days, my wife and I stayed at this hotel on 3 different occasions and have returned with mixed reactions - 1) 2 Nights on the first leg of our trip - Though the hotel and room looked a little rundown requiring refurbishment, it was a comfortable stay and service though, very stiff and formal, was acceptable. Breakfast - Very good; Communication - Poor due to most staff members being unable to communicate in English. 2) 1 Night on the second leg - Room very good. Service - Stiff but again acceptable. Breakfast again very good and communication poor. BUT the worst part was that the integrity of house keeping and reception staff was suspicious. While checking out after our first stay, my wife had left behind a set of clothes in the wardrobe. This came to realization, after reaching our next destination and I immediately called up the hotel and informed them. The lady assured that she would check and ring back, which she never did. When we checked-in around 5 days later, I was told that house-keeping had reported that nothing was left behind. My wife was firm and we asked to speak to a senior manager or the GM. It was then that we were asked to please wait for a recheck once again. One hour later, I received a call in my room, requesting me to collect the dress from the reception, without the courtesy of having it sent up to our room. 3) 1 Night on the last leg, before taking our flight back home. Room - Small and in very poor condition with walls having peeling wall paper and stains, Shower room, very small restricting mobility for me at 184cms height. I requested if the room could be changed but was answered with a curt - SORRY. OVERALL - This hotel definitely needs to upgrade it's service which is the FIRST ESSENTIAL in the hospitality business. A mechanical smile and words of welcome are not enough to convince a traveller to come back. If my bookings were not pre-confirmed, I would certainly not re-visit after our experience on the second time.

This is not a bad hotel but not quite as luxurious or high end as one might expect from the pricetag. Checkin was handled well and I get a modest upgrade for Hilton status. The best thing about the room was the view of the snowcapped mountains from two sides. Bed was comfy and towels were thick and plush. The bathroom was not great; a stand-in tub with a half door that doesn't keep the water from leaking out, and a ridiculously places handheld shower that either you had to hold or crouch down (unless you are under 5 feet tall) to use. Just unacceptable for a four star international hotel. Also the shower gel didn't work and the shampoo container was not even attached to the wall. Other things in the room didn't work quite right. Breakfast was a reasonably good buffet. The location is slightly out of the way but an easy and cheap Yandex ride or walk of 20-30 minutes to the more central sights. Overall not a bad choice (especially if you want to earn or burn Hilton points) but not sure it is worth the rates.

I had to fly to Almaty on family business. Hotel itself is trendy, historical building. Inside is really nice, clean. Front desk folks are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Rooms looks exactly as on photos. Each room has electric cattle, 2 bottles of water for each occupant. They refill tea, coffee, water every day. If you ask, they can bring you thus any time. I have to say their 24 hours room service is great. I bought room with breakfast. Highly recommend. Menu/ buffet is good. You can order omelets or oatmeal. One thing, though. Menu does not change at all. So, if you stayed few days, you will be fine. I stayed 10 days. It kind got boring after 4 days. Never the less, breakfast is good. Housekeeping is great! They really clean your room, disinfect. They change sheets every other day, towels every day. A lot of toilettes: shampoo, conditioner, body wash gel, body and hands creams, shower cap, even hair comb. You can pre order transfer from and to airport. They met me with the sign. It was great. Really great hotel. I will highly recommend to stay there.

Отель очень красив изнутри. Но номера ужасны. Очень уставший ремонт. Сервис тоже плохой. Не советую. Соотношение цены и качества очень низкое

Oh my God from where I start! This hotel deserves to be # 1 in Almaty. The moment we checked in it was pure luxury all through our stay. We booked two superior rooms and the rooms on the Privilege floor (11th floor) were just perfect for our 4 night stay...every small detail was taken care of by a fabulous team, jacuzzi on the same floor was so relaxing, the service was exceptional, breakfast spread had so many choices (their pâtissière dishes have to be given a special mention). What stands out is the location of the hotel, so close to Promenade and popular sights. Finding a Yandex will never be a problem, no matter what time of the day it is. Would love to stay again at Mercure Almaty City Center!!

Stayed there for a night during my KZ trip, the hotel is located at a very comfortable location , the hotel rooms looks like more of heritage room with a few old decor plates and felt really warm, they provided with all the necessity services, and a secured cloak room was also there, I kept my luggage after checkout for almost a day and they were really helpful to store them at their place without any hassle and provided back the same in couple of minutes, They staff here speaks fluent English as well and take extra efforts to help their guest. Would definitely recommend to stay and get to know the services of the same.

Поужинать в отеле проблемно. Меню надо скачать на телефон. Оно там не читаемое. Альтернативы нет. Или с телефона или не как. Замороженный официант вам никак не поможет. В итоге ужинали в ресторане напротив отеля. Отель был заполнен процентов на тридцать, но за стенку нам поселили пьяных которые в четыре утра устроили дебош. Ресепшн никак не решали проблему, сказали ”мы поговорили с гостями”, но шум продолжился. Только после обещания утром пожаловаться руководству, нам предложили переселиться на ночь в другой номер. И будьте готовы, что утром на завтраке вас на весь ресторан с двух телевизоров будет обрабатывать проукраинская пропаганда. На просьбу сменить канал, был получен ответ, что ”мы обязаны показывать мировые новости”. Ну а перекрикивающиеся между собой в полный голос горничные в коридоре и не улыбающиеся вам при заселении девушки на ресепшн - это уже мелочи. Очевидно, все силы у руководства ушли на постройку здания соответствующего уровню пятизвёздочного отеля, и здание действительно удалось, а на сервис сил уже не хватило. Обычно я не пишу отзывы, но эти ребята очень старались испортить отдых. Молодцы, получилось

Our July 3-12, 2023, family stay at the Novotel Almaty City Center Hotel for our son and daughter-in-law’s Qyz Uzatu bride’s wedding was memorable and outstanding. The staff was accommodating beyond expectations. Examples of services and assistance furnished include: 1) gorgeous congratulatory bouquet of roses, cake, and bottle of champagne for bride and groom upon their arrival, 2) Front Desk Receptionist Elmira ordered, negotiated, and “babysat” multiple wedding flower bouquets the day of the bride’s wedding event, 3) Deputy General Manager Yevgeniy personally helped finalize five 10-day room reservations, following up multiple times ensuring our full satisfaction, then emailing us a farewell and thank you note for our stay, 4) Front Desk Manager Altyn happily assisted with various requests, 5) entire staff was cooperative, positive, and professional, and 6) hotel restaurant’s breakfast buffets were delicious, and lunches were quite satisfying, too. Additionally, the hotel location was fantastic b/c: it’s adjacent to the large public plaza with memorial and fountains, as well as the tram to the nearby mountaintop which had restaurants, zoo, amusement park, etc.; walkable city center with nearby restaurants, shopping, green spaces, and more. Based on our family’s experience, we zealously endorse and recommend the Novotel Almaty City Center Hotel and will fondly remember our stay and the hotel’s kind, thoughtful, and service-oriented staff for taking care of our family.

Die Lage ist sehr gut, im belebten Stadtgebiet, ganz in der Nähe des National Center for the Performing Arts, sehr praktisch zum Essen und Einkaufen, ein Vier-Sterne-Hotel. Das Zimmer ist klein, verfügt über einen Balkon, eine angemessene Aufteilung und bietet ein angenehmes Wohngefühl. Die Steppdecke wurde gefaltet und auf das Bett gelegt, und ich machte mich selbst daran, die Steppdecke anzuziehen. Als Ctrip ein Zimmer buchte, wurde klar angegeben, dass die Restzahlung 15 RMB betrug, aber als ich im Hotel eincheckte, bestand die Rezeption darauf, 1.300 kasachische Dollar zu verlangen, was mehr als 20 RMB war. Die sprachliche Kommunikation verlief nicht reibungslos , und die Übersetzungssoftware konnte es nicht verstehen. Am Ende habe ich trotzdem 1.300 kasachische Dollar bezahlt, ich weiß nicht warum. Das Frühstück ist in Ordnung, vielleicht ist es lokales Essen, etwas ungewohnt. Alles in allem war das Erlebnis ok, bis auf den kalten Gesichtsausdruck des jungen Mannes an der Rezeption.

Reception was okey and Hotel Manager was super hilfsreich fūr alle Fragen und uns 100% geholfen. Vielen Dank. gerne wieder. Hotel muss sich verbessern fūr Frūchstūck. Mehr erfahrene Personal. Changing the Menūs manchmal. Nicht jeden Tag gleiche Menū anbieten. Qualitativ bessere Produkte von Käse. Oliven. Frūchte. Teesortiment.
