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
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!!!
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.
Everything is so old and scary, KTJ squeezes out the whole reverse as much as possible! This is what remains after the milk, but some of it......... turns out to squeeze something out🤔🫢😪
Employees can safely start extorting money, as happened with us. Be careful when you pass the control. They tried to get money out of us, like to give IT to IT people who would erase the video.
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.
It's a shame! To have such a train station! Such a city and such a train station! Friends come from other countries, when they buy train tickets, I feel ashamed! Of the two stations, at least one can be made qualitatively, beautifully, I'm not talking straight chic, but at least a little bit!
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
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.
Unsanitary conditions, inconvenient aprons and platforms. I don't know how to get on the tracks except 1. Either you need to bypass other trains, stepping over several rails, or over a bridge, which is not at all convenient for the elderly, the disabled, and with heavy bags, and what to say even to young people. What about security? No, you haven't. The station seems to be not for ordinary people, but for people with superpowers. It's a shame considering that international trains are stopping.
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.
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.
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.
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.
An ordinary train station, the nasal voice of the announcer, everything is expensive to eat, as everywhere in such places, simple water is even more expensive than in simple shops. I don't remember anything joyful or wonderful. Three, if you evaluate
Almaty 1 railway station is a very old building that does not meet modern requirements and standards of international sanitary standards of operation and fire safety... The inner territory of the station is very cramped, poorly lit with outdated ventilation, air conditioning and lighting engineering networks, not to mention fire alarm and automatic fire extinguishing systems... The station requires immediate major reconstruction and an increase in the usable area for passengers...

The station was not a business center.. And then this old building.. It is necessary to build a comfortable comfortable fit with a new acceleration to break. Almaty 1 +Almaty 2 de .. The city of Almaty..(Train Station Bus) (Train Station )..(Airport Ka ) is not suitable.. Don't go where they are ..There is nothing that inspires patriotism that raises national values..
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
The station is old, of course, there is no underpass like at Station-1, you have to go through the rails to the tracks. Ndkn major repairs or dismantling
There is no parking at all. The movers with the carts are very arrogant and annoying. Because they didn't use them, they tore off the raincoat on the car while we were away.
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.

An exceptionally well-maintained, comfortable, functional and beautiful train station! The only drawbacks are the walking distance from the metro station, but maybe it's better in its own way.
Well, the right thing to say, what else can I say except that it's a railway????? As it is, there's nothing cool to say, and there's something for the family to grab.
Everything is convenient, but you wait an additional 10 minutes for a taxi because of the traffic jam at the station. You can see a taxi 40 meters away, but there's a traffic jam
Strange people go around offering to buy tickets from them, their obsession is unpleasant, it's unclear who they are at all.... Aren't tickets supposed to be sold by the cashiers at the box office?
In the first days I was at the Alma Ata railway station.
It didn't seem big to me, but it was comfortable for a short stay
And I also bought your Almaat apples Aport there on the platform- delicious
I recommend it, do not be afraid to buy- they are delicious
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.
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
Excellent travel arrangements for passengers if your train is on track 1. Pros: smooth surface on the platform, neat exits - your suitcases on wheels will appreciate it. Let the experts talk about the organization of entrance control of baggage and passengers. The scoreboard is informative and operational. The hall is clean, the toilets are in order. If you are on the 2nd or 3rd path, then there are two options: 1) on the bridge on the left (if facing the tracks), and there is no inclined exit for strollers / suitcases, only steps, 2) on the right along the flooring between the rails, and then soil / rubble and if it rains, then dirt on the wheels of your suitcase. It would be good to fix this disadvantage. Photo from May 1, 2024 is attached.
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.
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
This is a separate topic!I do not know if this is a state institution or not, but everyone wants the best!there is a mess in the carriages at the barrack station in local transportation, we were traveling on the talgo train to Tashkent, cleanliness and order.driving Almaty Shymkent was generally scary!It is possible that there was order in the toilets in general, I am silent!And in old trains in general, but foreigners ride them, it's a shame.It's not really impossible to put everything in order.
I will write my review!!!
Dear gentlemen, deputies and minister!!!
Almaty Station 2 is a fairy tale!!!
This is the 18th century.
First, there is no transition to the third and fourth paths, you have to go through the passage on the stairs, which are killed.
You think about how to get through with luggage, young, old, pregnant women, how they will pass.
There has been no normal transition in thirty years.
Soulless people work in KTZ.
That's putting it mildly!!!
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.
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 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
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.
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
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.
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.
It's a terrible train station, everything is old, it's better not to allocate money there anyway, nothing will change, but only people's money will be squandered
