Very inconvenient access roads. There is not much service. There is no parking near the station, or rather there is one, but it is very small. A place where people come with things, they can't really stop near the train station
A good retro terminal in the city center. The Soviet marble was preserved. It was convenient to leave Astana after a long journey and immediately transfer to a city bus.
The advantages are that the station is very close to the city center, public transport is available. Minus, it really seems like it's not the southern capital but some kind of provincial railway station. Access to the paths is not very convenient. Loading and unloading from a taxi is also not very convenient.
There is only one crossing, and to reach it you need to walk about 400-500 meters when the train arrives on the 2nd or 3rd track. People, risking their lives and health, bypass and cross the train.
There is no normal parking, it is unknown who allegedly parks cars at night and extorts money from people with cars.
The staff service is average. The benches are old and uncomfortable.
I was disappointed that there was no shower at the station. But we quickly decided that. If you leave the train station, then there is a hotel on the right side. Here we washed up with great pleasure after a 2-day train ride. And we went for a walk in the city
I was here at night, there was a lot of free space. But at rush hour, I think it won't be very good. None of the cafes are open at night, and it's sad. It was cool, I couldn't take a nap.. It was not possible to connect to Wi-fi.
The beautiful station building. There is a problem with parking in the immediate vicinity. The waiting room is far from the entrance. Everything else is fine.
Since my youth, I often went to Almaty railway station 1 to eat at an ice cream parlor, it seemed so delicious to me! And I've always loved trains, now I travel on them every year.
The location is great. However, it takes quite a long time to wait for a taxi to leave there, because there are stable traffic jams on the station ring. It is quite convenient to wait for your train in the terminal building itself. Access to the platform and the platform itself are standard
Go to the next paths, through the top. Which is very inconvenient, provided that the first and second are occupied. It is necessary to think over this issue.
There's a small hotel on the second floor. Day 5000tg. It's quite clean, warm, and quiet there. It's very convenient when you come for a couple of days. I recommend.
Parking is very small and not convenient, there are no questions for the staff, the station itself as an architectural structure built in 1939 is super, but it does not meet modern requirements. It is very small, not convenient for large passenger traffic. Spontaneous trade on peron speaks about the lack of rules and order, in no case do I want to offend the people who do this, I understand that it is not from a good life and people need to earn money. Toilets are a separate topic, thanks to the cleaners who try to keep them clean, and the deplorable condition of the equipment in these rooms, this is not a question for them. In general, I was not impressed, it does not correspond to a developing city.
Convenient, good, but if the train does not arrive on the 1st track, you will have to run, of course))) but it's not such a big problem, but it's still not very pleasant
A modern railway station that meets all standards, I know and have been visiting this station since 1990. I always liked the convenient location for our city
The front side of the vocals is still normal, but inside the milking robots the road is all killed by potholes, moreover, the barrier to the historical one constantly breaks and that broke instead of the barrier there is all the torn rope that is stretched so that cars do not pass, at least the lariat would buy that the lighting is practically not there, almost to the touch workers walk, well, most likely workers are not guests at we are only for guests and therefore only the central one, and the back one will go now it's raining slush and you can't see the pits, repairs will begin when one of the workers gets injured going to work
In my opinion, Almaty-2 railway station does not meet the interests of passengers at all: it is very crowded, there are uncomfortable metal seats in the waiting rooms and they are clearly not enough, people are crammed before sending trains - they can't get through, and everything is with luggage! Well, at least in summer you can spend waiting time on the platform, but there is also little space there... Kiosks and shops at the station work only in the middle of the day, for example, we left at 9:10 a.m. - none of them worked, so we couldn't buy any water or anything else for the road.
In short, if you leave or arrive via Almaty-2 train station, be fully equipped with everything you need - you can't count on the station's service!...
And one more drawback (I would even say a problem! ) - landing platforms! It's good if the train was served on the first track, but if on the second or third - a nightmare! After all, often another train is already on the first one, which means you have to go around it (with children, suitcases and bags, and over the rails or bridge), and someone tries to persuade the conductor to let them through his car, and if time is short (traffic jams, it's difficult to calculate the time accurately), it's generally a disaster... So everyone will get an adrenaline rush.
It's bad that there are no covered pedestrian crossings with escalators. It's hard to jump on tracks with suitcases and children to get to the train. And the upper pedestrian crossing is a mockery of people. During this time, it was already possible to make modern repairs. A very busy train station.
The station is normal. Big. Surprisingly, it is always clear what the dispatcher announces. The scoreboard is working. It seems that everything is there that is needed for a good train station, for meetings or departure to / from the city.
Beautiful area near the train station. The station itself is clean, there are bus stops nearby, which allows you to get anywhere in the city without a taxi.
The station is not big, but it is clean and pleasant, almost the center of the southern city of the capital.I don't ride trains myself, but I had to meet friends and family
Thirty years ago I was at this train station and here I was three days ago, nothing has changed, even the paint was stripped off in the same place. The fast train of the 40s arrives with a delay constantly , this time in one hour , so the rating of the railway drops , I did not find a suitable estimate , and so mins 10
Great you can even spend the night right inside the weight persanal polite kind people you still have thank you very much 3 days to shelter our team was very grateful on your part
We went here to change money. In general, I have an unpleasant history with this station when I arrived in Almaty in 2005. I was alone. The police pulled lone tourists out of the crowd and began to shove. They just took away $100 from me. This is how Kazakhstan met me for the first time. The trip of 2023 with my family did not have such surprises.
A good train station in the city center
It is easy to get to any location
If asphalt would have been made from the platform normally, but better concrete paths would have been super at all
And so it's not comme il faut to drag a suitcase along the rails (((
The situation is average, Soviet-era repairs. Clean enough. There are no outlets, no Wi-Fi. The exchanger with the inscription 24/7 did not work. The cashier who sold the tickets is a wonderful person. I communicated very sincerely, very pleasantly.
I really like Almaty station 2, the location is convenient, transport, in particular bus 12 (the route was extended, which is very convenient, now those who live in the upper part of the city can easily get to the station. ) The station is clean, everything is accessible, the toilets are neat, a convenient waiting place, everything is displayed on the scoreboard, departure-arrival time. The poisoning sites of the compounds are also quite clean. I'm glad. Thanks!
I rarely visit. It is unclear why this frame is at the entrance, no one really checks, the bags stupidly pass through the tape. In the help desk, they generally told the wrong information upon arrival of the train. I had to find out on the Internet when the train would arrive.
Train delays have become the norm and this is outrageous. The station itself requires reconstruction, it looks very bad inside, everything is dark and gloomy. A person who comes to the train station immediately loses his mood and any desire to stay within these walls for a long time. I want a more modern design, the predominance of light tones in the interior decoration of the station. Please be patriots and finally make the station the pride of our beautiful city of Almaty!
A good train station, in a convenient location. The disadvantage is that getting off trains from secondary tracks is very very inconvenient, especially for the older generation. Still, the metro is nearby, otherwise taxi drivers charge more in the city than you arrive by train.
The location of the station is very pleasing, repairs and sanitation are zero, of course I would like the best, the workers are arrogant, the toilet is not clear where, it seems 1 station is better in appearance
Located in the city, it is convenient to get to any part of the city. Very annoying taxi drivers who try to put you in a car without a price agreement and then roll out the amount upon arrival. Yandex taxi works very well with a fixed rate. A polite taxi driver will arrive in a clean car and take you where you need to go.
The railways of Kazakhstan leave much to be desired trains run with huge delays the service is terrible just a disaster it feels like there is simply no owner
A small train station, few people, you could sit, checked your luggage into the camera, transport stops nearby. I didn't find anything remarkable, so I took a transport to Artyom market. The market is large, you can buy fruits, tortillas, souvenirs
The building is small in terms of structure, easy to enter and exit. The information board is legit. The minus aspect is that when you get off the train, you walk over the tracks to reach the station side.
The city is beautiful, especially the old center. The prices in the cafe are not high, you can always eat tasty and inexpensive. We really liked it, we will definitely come to Tula again.
I am always looking for trains departing from Almaty railway station—2. All procedures for sending passengers are put on the proper level. I have been using the services of our train station for 43 years. We saw off and met our relatives and friends, many are no longer with us, and the memory of these moments, nostalgia remain with us forever.
I was there this winter, Almaty is a beautiful city. The train station is a mess as always. Our entire train with suitcases and bags came out of the second track and climbed through the first track until the train arrived on the first track.
