Alladin Capsule Hostel

It’s nicely decorated, but the walls are so rough they cut my skin. Breakfast was okay.

There’s a 24/7 market right beside Alladin hostel, and across the street is a restaurant with good food and nice staff. The metro is about a 10-minute walk, and scooters are all around, so with the Yandex app you can get around quickly. Prices are reasonable, which makes it a good budget option. It’s a new hostel, so a few things could be better, but the staff and owners are trying their best. I’m satisfied 🙂

Breakfast was decent, and the menu changed each morning, which was nice. I snapped a picture on day two but forgot on the other two days. The towel was more like a hand towel, but when I asked, they brought a slightly bigger one. It’s an affordable and convenient choice in Almaty, especially for a short budget stay. I stayed three nights. The hotel is well decorated, though there’s room to improve. The rooms are tiny, as we knew before booking, and there’s hardly any air circulation, with no AC or proper ventilation. It works for a short visit, but I probably wouldn’t pick it for a longer stay.

I like that it’s right in the city center, and the staff are really nice. It’s clean, quiet, comfortable, and pretty, and best of all, it’s affordable.
