The station, like all stations in Kazakhstan, has waiting rooms, it is possible to buy something for a trip if you forgot or were not ready for the road, there is a police room and a security check at the entrance, as a sign of additional passenger safety.
We arrived at six in the morning, but we already found a dining room with hot tea and pies))), so then it's not scary anymore))), the toilet is clean, free, large+
Luggage storage services surprised if 1500 for an hour and 1500 for a day?! Yes, there is also a woman who can barely move and you have to fold and pull out yourself

The station building was very modern at the time of construction. Beautiful, not very big, cozy. It was built in 1930- 1940. Pieces of the old building are still preserved on the territory of the station. Thanks to TURKSIB, a new building was built, which still greets and accompanies people every day. The area around the station has been cleared not very long ago. There was no park before. I really like this place in the city.
The train station is like a train station. The architecture has been well preserved since Soviet times - a kind of architectural antiques. The toilet is so- so- a hole in the floor.
The station is large, beautiful, but dirty, especially the bathrooms. Get ready to come in and leave the station, you will most likely need to stand in traffic, because the lane is narrow and everyone is unloading and loading and also looking for each other. Of course, this should be organized in a different way
A classic train station. It's sad to see you off, it's fun to meet you. Emotions are rather positive, there were no problems with parking, it is clear that the processes are working. The territory is clean. And about the sore point - buy bmlets in advance! 😉
No new technology, old things. After receiving so much money, you need to update. Garbage needs to be cleaned and there is little space to put a car in front of it
A completely ill-thought-out toilet. One at the very end of the building. I have four bags. I'm alone. There is no one to look after things. Train 105 was more than 4 hours late on June 30. And what should I do? Few. The fact that I put up with going to the toilet for more than 4 hours, so I also arrived 2 hours before the train, because I was waiting for a reservation!!! How many kind words do you think I said to everyone who came up with such a layout and to the station chief? Are you all bullying people? And you're also asking for my opinion??? Is it hard for you to think for yourself? Or are you specifically interested in making fun of people like me!!!???
The train station used to be more convenient. Although the plus is that the transport was divided into lanes. It's a pity that there are no pointers really where which bus or trolleybus is suitable.
One of the "advantages" is the location of the station in the city, which means that it is relatively easy to get to. But parking lots are a problem. The station building is not bad, but you need your own style - the style of the city beloved by many Kazakhstanis.
The talgos are good now, but the prices bite very much, and the old vogons were rolled up, although they are, although the last time I went to Almaty Novosibirsk, I noticed that the coupe was very clean and the windows were new, but there is not enough restaurant for such a long distance.
Not the best service, everything is old, there is no information content, digitalization, the station is in the very center of the city and is not ready to serve as is customary in large megacities
Too bad there is no underpass. Or at least a ramp on the bridge for suitcases. It is difficult to carry heavy suitcases up the stairs when you need to go on the second or third way.
I was not impressed by the train station. It feels like the building has grown into the ground. The indistinct gray color makes it thicker and lower. When designing, the architects took into account both the color scheme and the location relative to other buildings. Now it feels like it is not taken into account. They were covered with gray tiles , the space around them was rebuilt-redrawn . it didn't work out very well. The staff is fine, everything is clean and tidy. Taxi without problems. Everything is organized The location - the city center - is very convenient. But, for those in a hurry, it's better not to go here and get off at Alma-Ata station 1. We waited 40 minutes before we went to Alma-Ata 2. Parking is organized, everything is fine here.
The Stone Age!!! There is no Wi-Fi at the station!!! And this is Almaty!! The former capital!!!The residents of the city are just a huge salaam!!! They're so cool ,,,

It would be nice to see rail ramps for luggage on wheels, strollers, etc. It would also be nice if the benches had trash cans, and not just the smoking areas. Otherwise, inside there is an ordinary unremarkable train station, clearly not the former capital, but an ordinary town, even without a normal luggage storage! Outside, a small park and public transport stops are good.
The cashier is terrible, the cashiers are women and rude, they speak softly and ask again, they snap.I wanted to make a refund of the ticket, we started playing football tomorrow after tomorrow, in the end I spat and forgot, sadaka im.
Just yesterday we arrived from Pavlodar with a delay of 2.5 hours. There was no water on the 31/32 train after saryozek. Conductors 6,7 wagons are just golden women
Everything is fine, but the employees are mistreated, although not all employees are like that. I'm disabled and they treated me badly. I would like to improve the quality of service for the disabled
The place is not designed for a large number of people. The building and the vocals as a whole are very outdated. Unfortunately, this is not the level for a large metropolis
It's just a horror if you come by car to meet someone or have no place to park, you ride in circles, for such a city, you could have already built something bigger and more modern, with a parking area.
Almaty is the city of my youth and the very first place I visited was the second railway station. It's a pity that he already looks so shabby. Every time I come here, I feel the joy of returning to my friends and fall into the happy memories that this city has given me
One toilet for the whole station. Women even go to the men's room. To get to the third and fourth paths, you need to: 1) run to the crossing 200 meters from the exit to the platform, with no escalator, etc. 2) try to slip between the trains on the first and second tracks. Bottom line: elderly people, people with sore legs, passengers with luggage - none of the options are suitable.
