    Dear Ritz-Carlton Almaty Team, Warm greetings, I would like to sincerely thank you for the outstanding hospitality during my recent stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Almaty. From the moment I arrived until my departure, everything was handled with great care and attention. I would especially like to compliment the reception team — they were not only highly professional and courteous during both check-in and check-out, but also carried themselves with such grace and elegance that it made a lasting impression. My overall experience was truly enjoyable, and I appreciated the warm atmosphere and excellent service throughout my stay. I look forward to returning soon. With kind regards, Ideal Ayavefe

    If you wish to stay in the best hotel in Almaty, this is the one. I would recomend go for a City view for a general feeling of the city. The shopping center and a few extremely nice restaurants are just below. Brunch place would be Caffeteria and for party Eva. Enjoy!

    I thought it was fairly expensive for 1. the location because it takes a while to get to the city centre where all the action is. There isn't much to do in the area around the hotel apart from a mall. 2. the hamam and the spa was shut while we were there so again it felt very wasteful to have spent so much on the hotel when the amenities weren't working. 3. the property itself wasn't that great for a five star hotel. We stayed at the Novotel for next 2 nights and frankly couldnt tell the difference when we paid 4 times of what we paid at Novotel for the Ritz.

    We booked into the Ritz Carlton because it's supposed to be the best property in Almaty but we were surprised to see that it is literally a few floors in a building. Coming from India, we are used to sprawling properties for 5 star hotels and this one didn't look the part. However, the staff was extremely courteous and nice and so was the breakfast. They had a lot of options for vegetarians and vegans. Our room had a gorgeous mountain view. We loved it!

    Everything was top-notch! There's absolutely no room for any complaints. The service at the hotel is simply outstanding, with the staff excelling at their jobs. It was delightful to find that room service is available 24/7, and any inquiries are addressed promptly, making the wait time practically unnoticeable. The food is fresh and incredibly delicious. Special thanks to the chef for this culinary delight. The room itself was spacious and filled with natural light. All the amenities were provided, and they exceeded my expectations. From the reception and lobby to the restaurant and spa, their excellence is beyond commendable. The massage is also worth a special mention – it's truly a must-try. I'm very grateful for the excellent stay, and I will definitely return.

    The hotel is very good, with excellent facilities, although I didn't get the opportunity to try the pool. The staff are very friendly and professional and extremely helpful in all areas. The rooms are kept in very good condition and serviced regularly. The rooms are equipped with all varieties of supplies and disposables in case you forget anything. I loved the spacious walk-in shower. In-room dining is very good, the food is high quality, and room service support easy to use and courteous. Good selection of food types and a good wine list. The hotel is well located and provides transport facilities, at a small cost. The concierge is exactly what you would expect and you can ask almost anything, booking external restaurants, shopping and local information. There are plenty of comfortable meeting spaces and most areas have incredible views of the city and/or mountains. Next to the hotel, just a few minutes walk, is a shopping centre, the Essentai Mall, a high end collection of quality stores with a very good supermarket in the basement. I can highly recommend a stay here for business or pleasure, and will definitely visit again when I am next in Almaty.
