We stayed on the ground floor away from the road and it was really quiet. The breakfast was ok for a small hotel. We found the hotel comfortable.We did have a safe problem, which wasn’t fixed, but we did only stay 2 nights.

Nice hotel, very clean and well looked after. Restaurant was good, and very good pool/spa facilities.
Staff were polite and helpful. Excellent central location and nice safe area (solo woman traveler).
Air conditioning did not work very well, would have given 5 stars otherwise.

Beautiful well-located hotel, with updated modern appointments throughout. Gorgeous pool area, jacuzzi, segregated wet and dry saunas. The room was huge and completely renovated with modern amenities throughout. One quibble: the room was very hot, with no way to cool it except opening a window, which brought in the polluted air of Almaty. Excellent high-end buffet breakfast
One big issue was with the staff. Curt throughout, even considering the language barrier. When we checked-out they demanded we pay for a small hand-towel they claimed we had soiled. Whereas we had interacted entirely with women before, they had a male supervisor confront us, who spoke more English and sternly ordered us to pay. It wasn't much, so we decided to pay and leave rather than pursue it. Very strange experience indeed!

Fantastic central location in Almaty, conveniently located in proximity to the Opera, Arasan Spa, the Cathedral, and great restaurants. The hotel gym is small, but adequate in a pinch. The spa is not to be missed. Wonderful buffet breakfast to start the day!

Grat hotel in Almaty, Kazakhstan
The hotel is located in a good location with shops, restaurants and supermarket nearby.; the surrounding area is safe and quiet at night. The room is small since the hotel is an old building; however, it is very clean and all amenities are in very good condition. The hotel staff is helpful and speaks English well.

Everything about Tien Shan excuses class. The staff are professional and courteous, the amenities are top notch, the rooms spacious, clean, and comfortable.
The breakfast dining facilities were well laid out with a sumptuous array of food items
I especially appreciated how well located Tien Shan is. From there, almost everything one needs is within a20 minute walk.
Great stay.

Had a good stay here. Staff were friendly and spoke good English. I didn’t use the spa facilities but I was given a tour and they looked fantastic. A shame I didn’t have enough time to partake. Breakfast was ok. I found the room very warm and needed to open the window during -15c to cool down a bit. The radiators didn’t seem to be adjustable.

Since my stay was very short, I tried to obtain relevant information as much as possible in advance. I inquired several issues to Reservation Manger to make my stay more comfortable/efficient. But turned out to be negative. Some given information/promise were not realized with unappropriated internal communication of hotel side. Also, the driver for the airport transfer was so rude and dangerously drove the car using the mobile phone while driving. My payment, in particular for the airport transfer should have been canceled but they did no even I claimed such. The spa and the breakfast were good however, the fundamental aspects were significantly lacking, I must say.

Arranged an airport transfer with the hotel before I travelled and when I left. Both excellent. Communication superb. Booked a single room which was more than spacious enough for a single traveller. Very comfortable bed and bottles of water delivered daily. Bathroom and shower more than adequate. There was a small room on my floor where guests could iron their clothes. Ask reception for the location and it'll save you packing a portable iron. The cooked element of breakfast was middling but there was plenty of other options available (cold meats, cheese, porridge, fruit, yoghurts etc). Wifi very much up to scratch. Had no problems with emails and using Spotify. Had a very pleasant stay here.

New Facade, Same Wifi
I stayed here 3 years ago, and it was nice enough. They are making major changes to the facade of the building, giving it a modern look. I noticed better quality food from room service, plus it is now available 24/7. They have a shuttle service to the airport, but you must pay. Also improved was the spa experience, with a wonderful massage. Well-stocked mini bar in the fridge. I wish there was a kettle in the rooms for early morning coffee. Also, the Wifi is the same, not very fast.
