Overall the stay was very good. The receptionists and concierge were very helpful, and the gym was very clean and with new machines and a nice pool. My only criticism is that the bar in the lobby is understaffed and service could be slow, and if one wasn’t sitting near the bar, very slow. It needs more than one person working there all the time. Otherwise, the hotel overall provides a great service and the staff are all very helpful and kind.
Cleanliness of the room very approximate. the room hasn't been vacuumed in 15 days... I was not identified as an ambassador. I had to claim my benefits as a Diamond Elite Ambassador.
Tutto bene, soggiorno molto breve, solo notte
Spa bella e spaziosa

Inventar alt, Zimmer abgenutzt, zu teuer
Das Intercontinental zählt zu den besten Hotels in Almaty, die Zimmer sind aber leider stark abgenutzt und das Inventar einschließlich völlig vergilbter Telefone aus den 90er Jahren mindestens zwanzig Jahre alt. Angesichts des Zustandes sind die Übernachtungspreise von rund €400 nicht zu rechtfertigen. Auch das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis der Gastronomie ist schlecht.

Not 5 stars.
The hotel definitely needs to be renovated. Teams have to be retrained. This is definitely not a 5-star hotel and it is sad to see it being a part of the Intercontinental?Perfect family.
Very helpful and professional staff. Excellent service and a tasty breakfast. Highly recommended

This property is very old, needs repair, and is not in line with the quality generally expected from the InterContinental brand (due to age) - time to repair and replace equipment - I don't think I've seen an older lamp in the last 10 years than what I had in my room
This was a great hotel with impeccable service! I had a two-week stay there and the staff was excellent from checkin to checkout. Breakfast buffet is awesome!

Overall it's a good hotel with helpful staff. But I found that apparently the facilities look pretty dated and the price is higher than I would expect.
