Vying for the title of 'Almaty's Top Hostel', this friendly place has earned a steady stream of guests for its pop-arty decor, helpful English-speaking staff, and its stupendous roof terrace, because it's best to observe the city from on high. If you don't fancy bedding down in a 12-bed dorm, book a private room in advance. Guest kitchen available.
