The host was pretty nice and the toilet was always clean.

Hostel is fan only and the rooms are super super hot. The 3 days we were there the wifi didn’t work at all and the laundry machine (1000tg per load) pretty much didn’t do anything for the mud on my pants. Shower could do with a scrub and rubbish bins in the room would’ve been ideal. But I guess you get what you pay for.
1) Unfortunately, the hostel does not accept payment by credit card. For a foreigner arriving in Kazakhstan in the evening after a long trip, they will have to go for a night walk and look for an ATM or exchange office. 2) The promised internet did not work at all during my stay. Although the kind administrator shared her connection and provided the necessary minimum for ordering a taxi, it should be critically noted that the hostel promised a working internet, but did not meet expectations.
The hygiene is pretty good, and the boss is friendly

No wifi, seems to be broken, I don't have a local SIM card yet
We liked that they let us in early and we arrived very early in Almaty, that was very good.

It was an inhuman heat, at night I had to shower 4 times to be able to sleep a little as it was unbearable, there was no air conditioning and only a fan, the window couldn't be opened and the heat concentrated there... it was like a sauna. The beds are old and super uncomfortable, you have to take off your shoes and the hygiene conditions are not the best... overall the experience was very negative.
