Renion Park Hotel

“Well located at a reasonable price”

Reasonably priced and well located, this hotel lives up to its description.

Reasonably priced and well located, this hotel lives up to its description. Almaty is not a cheap city for accommodation, and it is often said, “Location is everything.” Yet, all sorts of attractions and restaurants are within walking distance. There is also a bus stop nearby. Comparable sized and even smaller rooms go for higher prices in this city. For breakfast there was a wide selection for the buffet; cold and hot food; for meat eaters and vegetarians; savory and sweet dishes. We were very full and didn’t want to eat until the evening!

“A Great Stay at the Hotel”

We stayed for 2 nights at the Renion Park Hotel. It is walkable distance to the Panfilov park, the Ascension Cathedral, Arbat Street, the Green Market and the Central Mosque. It is also close to a lot of restaurants and cafes and it was perfect for us. Their breakfast was really good and one of the best that we have had in the stans - salads, fruits, nuts, yogurt, eggs, pancakes and a lot of other options and desserts. Though they do not allow you to take anything from the breakfast area. For folks like us who like to just eat a salad for breakfast, it is hard because I like to take some bread or a croissant to eat an hour later. Maybe they can relax that rule a little bit. Room was perfectly ok and clean, no issues with it at all. There is a kettle in the room if you want to make some coffee or tea and they do have a mini fridge in the room as well. Our room had enough space to open two suitcases. The hotel also arranged for us a tour to Big Almaty Lake, though the tours can be a tad more expensive than hiring an independent tour/taxi guide to the lake. We came back to Almaty a few days later after checking out of the hotel. We had a late night flight and had left our luggage at the luggage storage at the airport and since we nearly had a 10 hour layover in Almaty, we went back to Almaty to the green bazaar and have dinner in Almaty. Since our flight was late night, we went back to the hotel and explained our circumstance and they allowed us to crash on the side sofa in the reception area and get a few hours of sleep before the flight. That was really nice of the hotel to allow us to get some rest and was greatly appreciated. Definitely will come back and stay at this hotel on any future trips to Almaty.
