Decently good hotel with a few quirks

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Riddhi K TripAdvisor review

Decent hotel, we had a mostly positive experience, something I was apprehensive about as I read some negative reviews regarding service levels and treatment of Indian tourists. But thankfully it was fine- as long as you’re not expecting south east Asia or Middle East levels of hospitality , and frankly , the language barrier doesn’t help either - as not all staff speak English. But allowing for those differences- I had a good experience over all and will even come back given the positives. Positives - Fantastic location - major sights are walking distance, and yandex is easy if you’re not a walker - Good food though vegetarians may find it limiting beyond a few meals. - Proximity to good cafes and restaurants. We loved Navat, Pro Coffee nearby. - Front desk usually had English speaking people and was generally helpful - though you tend to have to ask for things you may get told automatically in other countries - Breakfast was not extensive but it was sufficient and tasty, with enough fruit, fibre and protein options, though those who need Indian food may find it wanting. - Indoor temperature controlled pool ( not warm, but usable in winter ) Cons - small rooms, it gets snug if it you have a child and need extra bed. Go for the suite if you have a child. - housekeeping tends to not tidy up the bedding if you leave stuff on it like clothes. We noticed this on a couple of days across rooms ( we had three rooms as a family). If we did a basic tidy up, then housekeeping put the bedding back properly. This is different from staff attitude in other countries but we got used to it. I’m not sure if that’s a true con, but just thought I would mention it so that people aren’t surprised when they come back to an unmade bed in the evening. Staff is polite mostly, if somewhat curt, but this I expected and so wasn’t phased by it. It’s just a quirk of the land. A couple of staff were chatty as well, usually the ones most comfortable in English. You may even find some Bollywood fans among the locals! As some people have noted , you have to fill a carafe from the filter on each floor as your drinking water supply in each room, but I think this is fine - it didn’t bother us too much and it’s good for sustainability. We did buy a few bottles of water from a supermarket for the very young and old people in our group. You can also order water from room service ( at a cost). Overall, Kazakh people are not overly smiley and friendly and as long as you accept that as their temperament, you will be fine. They are usually helpful if you ask, and Google translate works well and every one is used to using it. Almaty is an immensely walkable city with wide open sidewalks and a good food scene. Yandex app works very well, and takes away the English issues for getting around. I didn’t need a local sim even, I just activated Yandex app from my home country (India) before travel and was good to go.

Excellent property with kids and family

I was surprised that 4 stars novotel doesn't provide concierge service, we had to take the bags to the rooms by our selves! Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are very small
