Taking into account the inflated prices in Kazakhstan for hotels the Astana International is a reasonable deal. This was my third visit in two years and down to the pothole in the start of the hotel driveway all was the same. It was good to see familiar faces at the check-in desk. Rooms are a bit small but everything works,... More

My wife stayed at the Hotel Astana for 2 1/2 days late June 2011. The room was very small but the bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Caution the shower cabinet was very slippery when wet. The weather in Almaty was very warm, room AC worked just OK to keep the room reasonably comfortable day and night. Internet was... More

The hotels in Kazakistan are overpriced and the Astana can be a good option. The first impression was not good, the rooms are small and all the building is sovietic time, but after three nights we were happy with our choice. In fact the room was not big but was enough, the bathroom also well, the prices in restaurant much... More

Nice quite hotel in centre of Almaty (Kazakhstan). Good place for business trips. Many russian show-stars live here while touring to Almaty. More

Most hotels in Almaty are either outrageously expensive and nice, or simply expensive and bad. Astana is kind of in between. It is still expensive with over 150 USd per night, but the lesser of the evil... Breakfast food is ok... but not great More

The rooms have been refurbished to a good standard and compared to the Regent (now the Intercontinental) and the Hyatt it represents excellent value for money as the other 2 hotels are very overpriced. True some areas need a little attention but it is only cosmetics and it surpasses a three star western hotel in standard. I found all staff... More
