A beautiful train station, with a chic, green, wide, spacious entrance/approach. There are good cafes in front of the train station where you can take delicious and absolutely safe (tested) mantas with you. Thank you, you saved me from starvation! The station itself is cool, the navigation is clear, the platforms are wide, the carriages are interesting, the conductors are polite.
This station requires drastic improvements. Information about trains and arrival routes only in the entrance corridor. And in the same room. There is no information in other places.
To pass with things, luggage on the 2nd or more way is still hard labor!
The building of the Railway Station is a legacy of the Soviet Union, and the current prices are in pharmacies and boutiques, and the mess is like in the station itself on Perona, and the toilet is a separate epic tale!!!
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.
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.
This is a mockery of the people. There are no parking spaces for the whole city at all, because of this, people park anywhere, under a sign, on the lanes, I do not know who designed the area around the station, as if he did it for evil or something 🤦🏾♂️
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.
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
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
Firstly, the building of the Almaty-2 railway station is a historical value, an architectural monument of the country. Parking is quite acceptable, at least much better than in Astana. Cars are parked freely even near the train station, no paid parking for you. The staff is polite, no fuss, jostling, as in Almaty-1. Nevertheless, there are fewer trains from here than in the first Almaty - this also affects, apparently, the influx of passengers.
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.
One of the most significant buildings in Almaty, the business card of our southern capital. Convenient geographical location, the city center is not so far away, the metro is within walking distance, the main disadvantage is parking. The territory allocated for parking is small.
This train was 1.5 hours late, so it also came on the third way! It is very difficult to get from the third way with children's belongings. The station needs to be reconstructed!
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.
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
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+
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 ,,,
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 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
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
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.
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 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
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.
Look carefully at which platform your train is on, it is inconvenient to walk along the tracks, the stairs and the passage are to the left of the tracks
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.
