This is a lovely hotel, in the heart of Almaty. We enjoyed our time here, all except for the two lengthy power outages that seem to be a common affliction here. All-in-all a pleasant stay with comfortable beds, a decent shower, and a wonderful breakfast.
Great and well kept hotel in the center of Almaty. Very friendly and helpful staff. Cozy and clean rooms. The breakfast was very diverse and tasty. Will definitely choose this hotel again!
Very nice hotel, breakfast is very good. Location also near to big mall/Forum mall.

Disliked: Staff & service
My name is Daeyoung Lee who stayed at your hotel on the 4th Nov. I paid for Taxi on the desk only one time. But it was found that your hotel charged twice. I guess the staff at reception desk charged the payment again when I changed the departure time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Was so impressed by my stay at the Holiday Inn Express! Clean, comfortable, great service, and a central location. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay for business!
It was perfect as we were most of the time out exploring, perfect to rest up enjoy the breakfast. Staff was very helpful. Room was decent size and same with the bathroom and shower
The Holiday Inn was close to the embassy where I needed to do business. The free breakfast was excellent and convenient. The room was comfortable, clean, and with a nice bathroom and shower.
The property and staff was nice. Food was okay okay. Being a vegetarian, if there may be some more options. It would be better.
However the property was nice 😊
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.
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
