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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

The hotel is located on an ideal green area of Almaty surrounded by parks and museum, however, as we live in the world of technology, there were at least one socket that dud not work., they also charged for ectra drinking glasses into the room as well as knives and forks. When ordering room servuce staff forgot certain items such as a fork or molk for coffee. There is no morning drinking facilities. I would nit come back to the hotel again if I am being honest and will go back to the hotel I stayed before.
