It is good to be back. Having first stayed here three years ago, I wanted to see if the place still held up, and it is easily just as good as I remembered, if not better. The food remains a massive highlight; the breakfast buffet is excellent, with the fresh salads and desserts being particular standouts. My room was thoroughly comfortable, but it was the staff who made the experience, always staying one step ahead to ensure I was well looked after. It is a brilliant, welcoming spot for a solo traveller.
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.
A lovely, clean hotel in the city centre. Rooms are comfortable. Easily accessible to all the main sights. I didn't eat in the hotel restaurant but there are lots of food options locally.
Very nice and quiet place. Staff was so nice and smiling. Housekeeping staff was also very attentive of their duties. All in all , I recommend this place to stay in Almaty.

Older style but elegantly cared for. Very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.
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!
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.
The property has a European charm and is at close proximity to popular cafes/parks/stores/tourist attractions. However in summer time (April) the air-conditioning wasn't as effective in our room.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff is very helpful and location very central but the property itself is very old and outdated and in need of serious refurbishment.
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
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!
