Helpful staff and a good location. Have stayed twice, and both rooms had at least partial mountain views. Breakfast was great, with lots of options.
Ceramic, rather than plastic, mugs in the room could have improved the experience.

Never happy with a Hotel that allows smoking on their property. And then they only offer you a smoking room since all their non smoking rooms were booked.

Avoid breakfast
Overall great experience, except for breakfast, we never touched it after finding a huge fly in the eggs. Some towels had hair on them. Bed was comfortable. No fridge was another downside

The hotel is in a very convenient location with beautiful views to the mountains, close to the Metro and restaurants, and within a 25 minute walk to museums, parks and other landmarks. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfasts delicious and the room very comfortable. Unfortunately, the rooms do not have a refrigerator and the hotel has a strict policy of charging you for an extra day (at a higher rate than paid online) for a late checkout of 5 hours, even after staying at the hotel for an entire week. The hotel has a comfortable lobby with a bar and snacks and access to fast WIFI. I will stay here again when I visit Almaty next year.

View from the room was good. Water in bathroom was in good temperature. Staff at reception could not be worse . They shifted the breakfast timing without letting us know and due to which we could not take breakfast before our flight. They shifted it by 1 hour 30mins. Sad reception staff.

A comfortable stay
We lived ar Holiday InnExpress for a day. Great location anf proximity to the center. I wish the reception and staff knew better English. Breakfast was included but very average. The stay was great, rooms are small but very comfortable. Overall a good one
