It's cool that we have train stations and not even bad ones, but Almaty 2 is very good, though as always the parking problem is, of course, not located in the countryside, which is very positive in terms of getting there, though when a traffic jam is still the quest to get there)))) I have to leave earlier . It would not be bad if they made it indoor, it would be a great idea and of course Almaty is a big city in Kazakhstan, we also need railway stations that will be modern and meet the needs of people and comfort.
Greetings to all Assalama alaikum brothers: I would like to express my sparkling gratitude to the guys, I recommend you all to cook very powerfully with golden hands... Have a nice visit ☕👌
I really love our train station!!!
The staff is well done, polite.
The Soviet marble was also preserved, it is so pleasing!!!
Convenient Parking and bus stop,cleanliness and well-groomed appearance.
My favorite train station. Yes, it is retro, but it is located in the city center, which makes it easier to get there quickly, given the traffic jams of Almaty. At the station, you can have a snack and drink coffee, buy a press, and even fruits on the roads
The location is very good, it is always clean, it is very nice if we changed the waiting room plastic benches, they are very cold, everything else is fine
The train station is like a train station)) I liked the train 077 Almaty/Mangystau. The compartment is clean and spacious, unlike the talgo. I was surprised by the cleanliness in the carriage in the lavatory, of course, in the compartment. I recommend it!
A standard Soviet-type railway station , I am glad that the exterior finish remains marble, with columns, it looks very beautiful, I really like the stations of the Soviet era , I remember their architecture from childhood
If you compare it with European train stations, then this place is not of the highest level. However, in comparison with other railway stations in Kazakhstan, this is a good station: a pretty good building with waiting rooms, a good platform. But it would be better to remove these merchants with buckets of apples from the 60s of the last century a long time ago.
Clean, comfortable, the food in the canteens is fresh and delicious. A lot of green plants. The waiting room is also clean, the seats are comfortable. There are no charging points for the phone
The station is old, but this is not an assessment. It is very inconvenient, it is necessary to "climb over", figuratively speaking, the way to your train if it is on the second or third track with luggage is not convenient at all. Some kind of tracks are laid out. If there is a train, we wait until it departs to reach our own. The building itself is a historical value, but it must be maintained and create a comfortable atmosphere for people.
A good train station, almost in the center of the city. This is not the main train station. The main station is Almaty 1 train station, but it is located further north towards the airport. At the Fire Station, you need to move further north, without turning right.
Very good staff, the station is also good, I like it, in a great location located almost in the center of the city, there is no problem getting there quickly
The old train station, that says it all, is well maintained, all services are working properly, prices for service and goods are higher than in the city, it is clear that this is a commercial tax, an inconvenient bridge on 3- 4 ways for luggage delivery.
The station is old but solid, there are all amenities for passengers, information boards, a large waiting room, a clean toilet, taxi drivers and movers are full to help carry luggage.
The first time I took tickets, they offered to go to the ticket office right near the entrance, I even got confused, went, they immediately said that they also had their own benefit, well, I think maybe 5 thousand, they tore off 22,000, asked for 40,000 (I already counted it at home) they assured me that the trains were good, new, as a result they gave a reserved seat, a carriage chain, TERRIBLE cars, so I got to Moscow through Saratov, I sat in Saratov for 5 hours, in Moscow for 10, From Saratov to Moscow the way was through Tambov, I got 2.3 hours to my house there, No, I got to Moscow and now I'm going back through Tambov to Voronezh (I resigned myself to the price for the ticket, but when I downloaded the route, it was nothing. I don't understand anything about this, the first time I came across it, I went to the cashier so that specialists would help me there, but as it turned out there were specialists in another way, they also took 680 tenge for the cashier's service, it's even funny. (It's my fault, I didn't check, I trusted, People be vigilant, don't get fooled when incomprehensible aunts offer you to go to a certain cash register at the entrance!!!
Almaty, in which most of the money of Kazakhstan revolves, has a medieval organization of a railway station, when you have to go to another path along tracks or inconvenient stairs, when the available crossings are made in the most primitive way - what is it?
When you see all this in a small, provincial town, it's okay, but when in such a huge metropolis ...
Of the advantages: a free toilet, an electronic scoreboard, available places to wait for the train.
The train station did not leave the best impression. The facilities were limited and the setting was not very pleasant. Despite this, the location turned out to be convenient for a quick transfer, but for a long stay it is better to consider other options.
Great place! There are grocery and souvenir shops, a dining room with an outlet. Spacious waiting room. The building is made in the style of the Stalinist Empire, although now restored and modified. The film "Needle" with Viktor Tsoi in the title role was shot here
One of my favorite train stations! Because AT HOME, there is something left in it from a previous era, calm,quiet,clean, but as if there are no emotions of any kind
A clean and pleasant train station, there is a place to sit waiting, there is something to eat. Inconvenient transitions between the first and second platforms. If both paths are occupied, then there is nowhere to go. The stairs are only from the third way . So we went to the end of the train to jump over the tracks
It's a good train station. Friendly staff, ready to help and prompt. There is a place to sit down, eat, charge your phone, clean up. The luggage storage is open daily, not hourly.
The building of the classic Stalinist Empire evokes a warm feeling of nostalgia. But beauty does not interfere with the modern functionality of a well-organized space inside. It is convenient, comfortable, spacious, very clean. The most favorable memories.
Great train station. It works at night, there are places to sleep inside, even the lights are dimmed, there are leather seats, comfortable. There are sockets, a free toilet and Wi-Fi in one of the waiting rooms. In general, a great option to wait out a couple or more hours. Conveniently located, near bus stops, quickly left in the right direction, and the mountains, you can see them immediately as you leave the station
You can get confused at the station. The station itself is decent, everything is neat. The girl in the help desk doesn't know anything))). Therefore, it is better to approach the beautiful, cheerful elderly lady at the checkout. She knows everything and will even help you with very difficult questions, like me.
It is convenient to leave this station. Without transitions, ascents and descents.
There is a good transport interchange from the forecourt.
But there is not enough lighting in the station building itself.
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.
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.
A small waiting room, the help desk does not answer questions. Only two cash desks serve beneficiaries. QR does not always work at the checkout. If the train arrives on track 2.3, you will have to walk with your luggage up the stairs over the bridge. In rainy weather, I am generally silent with the elderly and with children
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
Everything is fine. There are phone chargers. It's fashionable to buy everything, food, souvenirs.
The canteen is really not very tasty at the station itself, it's better to go to the square. And the seats are completely iron, when you wait for a long time, it's uncomfortable and cold.
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 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.
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 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.
Красивый вокзал, с шикарным, зелёным, широким, просторным подъездом/подходом. Перед вокзалом есть неплохие кафе, где можно взять с собой вкуснющие и абсолютно безопасные (проверено) манты. Спасибо, вы спасли от голодной смерти! Сам вокзал прохладный, навигация понятная, перроны широкие, вагоны интересные, проводники вежливые.
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 first time I left Almaty 2, the passage was good on the first line, the staff is good, everyone is polite, where is which train and which car will tell you. The only time I came. The train was on the second line, I had to bypass the passage in front. And so , Parking for cars is large, there is a place to put it.
The railway station is like in any capital. But this one, unlike the Almaty-1 railway station, is closer to the city center and the Rayymbek Batyr metro station.
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
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.
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!
It is beautiful, culturally, clean from the outside, but there is no Parking, there are a lot of taxi drivers, they occupied all parking places. It's cramped inside, it's cold in winter. Almaty-1 train station is much better, but there are also huge disadvantages
Almaty-2 railway station is located almost in the center of the city compared to Almaty-1 railway station, it is possible to get to the desired address faster if it is located in the city. Also, when choosing tickets, it should be borne in mind that not all trains leave this station
I often visit, but it is not suitable for modern Almaty, everything is old and not convenient for passengers when boarding a train, the plotform does not meet the standards, the transition from one platform to another is completely inconvenient, really it is impossible to reconstruct at the present stage.
