阿拉木圖British Council附近住宿

Our July 3-12, 2023, family stay at the Novotel Almaty City Center Hotel for our son and daughter-in-law’s Qyz Uzatu bride’s wedding was memorable and outstanding. The staff was accommodating beyond expectations. Examples of services and assistance furnished include: 1) gorgeous congratulatory bouquet of roses, cake, and bottle of champagne for bride and groom upon their arrival, 2) Front Desk Receptionist Elmira ordered, negotiated, and “babysat” multiple wedding flower bouquets the day of the bride’s wedding event, 3) Deputy General Manager Yevgeniy personally helped finalize five 10-day room reservations, following up multiple times ensuring our full satisfaction, then emailing us a farewell and thank you note for our stay, 4) Front Desk Manager Altyn happily assisted with various requests, 5) entire staff was cooperative, positive, and professional, and 6) hotel restaurant’s breakfast buffets were delicious, and lunches were quite satisfying, too. Additionally, the hotel location was fantastic b/c: it’s adjacent to the large public plaza with memorial and fountains, as well as the tram to the nearby mountaintop which had restaurants, zoo, amusement park, etc.; walkable city center with nearby restaurants, shopping, green spaces, and more. Based on our family’s experience, we zealously endorse and recommend the Novotel Almaty City Center Hotel and will fondly remember our stay and the hotel’s kind, thoughtful, and service-oriented staff for taking care of our family.

The breakfast was good, but not fantastic. The room was good and clean, there were some supplies in the toilette. Parks and places around the hotel are nice, and you can have a good walk around, if you wish. There were always noise (I'd assume cleaners did some work) quite early in the morning. Another issue is that the breakfast time in the morning is until 10am sharp, which is not convenient for people travelling from Europe for leisure. As I understood, there're no alternatives available. We asked a bottle of water and an additional blanked to the room, and it was challenging to get them. Particularly, with the bottle of water, as they refused to put the cost of it on the hotel room, but requested a cash payment. It was a surprise for us.

哈薩克斯坦的地標建築，帶有蘇聯建築風格； 整體環境還是很不錯的～地理位置優越，酒店後面有一片小公園，離共和國宮很近，旁邊就是乘纜車到 Кok-Tobe 的售票處。 離Dostyk Plaza（購物中心）和其他景點比如獨立紀念碑和中央博物館大概20分鐘步行距離。 衞生和服務質量都挺好，酒店附近吃的也很多。 有兩大瓶水—— 房間的燈光控制好像集中在門口，哪個對應哪個需要摸索一下。 早餐個人覺得不錯（沒有住過阿拉木圖的其他酒店，不知道相比較而言怎麼樣）。 有部分樓層在裝修，不過影響不大（指沒有噪音或者什麼的），衹是坐員工電梯的話有可能會在那些樓層停（沒留意，後面才發現其實有區別的）。

多麼令人失望的酒店。服務在整個過程中都很糟糕。無論什麼問題,答案總是NO!入住時間是2:00pm。我中午到達,要求提前入住。不!房間已經準備好了,但除非我支付了50美元,否則他們不允許提前入住。(一位不同的店員最終提前入住了我)餐廳在晚上7:00關門吃飯,附近沒有選擇。我拿了外賣,只是要了銀器和空玻璃。不,你可能不能帶去房間。最後,我買了一個叉子(房間裏仍然不允許玻璃。“人們偷了它們”)。30分鐘後,敲門要求叉子回來!酒吧裏儲備了可怕的。紅酒?不。白酒?不。只是啤酒早餐在早上7點開。我6:50到達,只是問我是否可以在我等待時喝杯咖啡。不。他們用完了果汁,要求更多。...等待它...不。電源關閉了幾次,一次2+小時。窗戶不打開,所以變得非常悶。房間一天沒有打掃。我只要求新鮮毛巾,我不得不把我的舊毛巾帶到前台,他們在那裏數着要更換。我猜他們的客人也偷毛巾!結賬時,我禮貌地問是否可以和經理說話。“這裏沒有經理”。這有點概括了整個住宿。這裏有很多更好的選擇,這不應該成爲IHG的一部分,服務很糟糕

Dear all, I hate to say this because Almaty is my hometown, but this was the worst experience out of all hotel booking. Not only the room was not tidy and not very clean, but in the morning at 8:30 AM housekeeping lady entered our room despite the do not disturb sign on the door, she didn’t knock but just entered our room while we were sleeping and there was a man working in together with her. After I intervened she left the room apologizing for disturbing us. Approximately in one hour she entered our room again this time with another man behind her. After that we couldn’t sleep anymore we dressed and went down to the reception to complain on the housekeeping and to understand what is going on. Neither the guys at the reception nor their manager and housekeeping service manager could give us any type of logical and proper explanation on what was that and why their housekeeping worker entered our room twice, what they were looking for and what was the purpose of disturbing us. I personally think this hotel should be undergoing a thorough expertise on hotel management and quality of service.

酒店環境特別好，乾淨衞生，老闆人特別暖心🥰出行很方便，服務特別周到

阿拉木圖最高級的酒店，視線很好，可以看到雪山樓下還有一個非常大型的shopping mall，前台有免費的蘋果，以及入住的果汁，前台的服務非常好，還有專門的服務人員指引我們到房間裏面。

I arrived in the middle of the night, and was unable to pay for the room because both of my credit cards were rejected because I did not have a PIN. The staff were sympathetic, and gave me the room anyway. In the morning I had to call back to my US banks and both said that they do not issue PINs for cards with chips, so they could not help. So I had to go out in search of an ATM and withdrew the max permitted on two different debit cards. This was barely enough to cover the bill, but I was able to pay up after a certain amount of stress. The room itself was modern and comfortable. My only complaint was that the bathroom walls and tiles are matt black, and the lights were not bright enough around the mirror to make shaving easy. The breakfast and dinner in the restaurant on site were average. I would note that I never needed a PIN at any other establishment in Almaty, nor in other cities in the region as I traveled and used credit cards without issue.

因此,我在阿拉木圖延長了住宿時間的兩個不同的房間預訂了4晚。因此,所提供的照片代表了一個地面雙人間和一個帶有夾層的家庭房間。最重要的是,對於所付出的價格,這確實是非常合理的,我認爲這家酒店的價值是一流的。因此,我將根據他們的重要性來排列我的意見。首先。工作人員在整個住宿期間都非常友好和專業,包括安全。其次,我贊成酒店的內部房間的整體設計確實非常舒適,而且非常寬敞。7-10提供的早餐很舒適,提供了所有必需品,不過我建議以後再煎蛋。除了以上,雙人間還有衛星電視,可以上網-即YouTube等。游泳池,雖然我沒有使用它看起來棒極了,餐廳的食物價格很好,也很美味(我推薦扁豆湯,有雞----菠菜和米飯)。雖然有施工工作發生,考慮到一些客人必須瀏覽一下,可能會更整潔一些,但我仍然會以5/5的價格評價這家酒店的預訂價值。👍

We recently had a stay at this Swissotel. Given the reputation of the brand, our expectations were naturally set high. However, the reality of our experience fell significantly short of those anticipations. 1. Check-in Procedure: Even with online check-in we were subjected to a 30-minute wait. One of our pre-booked rooms was not ready at the time of arrival. 2. Room's Condition: - A glaring lapse in cleanliness was evident with the state of the bathroom floor near its entrance (photo attached). - The bathroom door's sliding mechanism was faulty and highly inconvenient. - The overall condition of the bathroom indicated it's due for an overhaul and repairs (photos attached). - The discovery of a used ear swab under the table raised significant concerns about the room's preparation and cleanliness (photo attached). - A faulty power outlet in the bathroom added to the growing list of maintenance concerns (photo attached). - The discovery of a dead insect in the drapes clearly points to a continuous lack of attention to detail with the cleaning staff (photo attached). 3. Birthday Cake: Our agreement for a pre-arranged complimentary birthday cake was not only overlooked but was also delivered a day later than promised, despite having multiple conversations and providing evidence of our prior agreement (via the official hotel WhatsApp). 4. Water Bottle Replenishment: The consistent oversight in providing an essential like water, despite multiple request channels, was surprising. The water had to be fetched from the cleaning staff, we had to chase them and ask. None of the other channels, like the official app or the reception, fulfilled our request for the water delivery. 5. Dining: Our anticipation of an à la carte menu was countered by a buffet offering. Being told this was due to hotel occupancy levels feeling unsatisfactory. This went on for both evenings spent at the hotel. Portions of the a la carte menu were available only for room service. 6. Buffet Food Quality: The limited options, particularly for main courses (3), left much to be desired. Our experience with the freshly prepared pasta was particularly disappointing. It was watery, bland, disgusting. You could get better pasta at an office canteen. We have travelled quite a big part of the world and this buffet was easily the worst we have ever had. Both taste and variety were not worth the price. And we were forced into it by being denied the a la carte option. The hotel is above capacity - great, but we paid for the same service as if it weren't, right? Not OUR problem. 7. Breakfast Experience: The overall offering was lackluster. The variety was uninspiring, especially when compared to even basic 3-star hotels. Stale pastry (croissant from the day before) at a 5* hotel is inexcusable - these are absolute basics. Staff appeared overwhelmed, often forgetting to replenish food and drinks (had to be reminded many times) and struggling to manage guest numbers. Only 2 juice options fo
