Almaty -2 railway station as a historical place is generally not bad. But, the seat in the waiting room is terrible in winter and in summer it is cold, it is not comfortable to sit the staff / controls at the entrance/ exit are also terribly rude and not friendly. In general, the station is not bad. but there is no mother-child room and a prayer hall, but there is a hotel in the station itself. this is terrible, although the station area is very small and does not meet the standards, but someone is doing a Choir on this. business is shameful and not humanly (where are the akimat, the authorities looking?). Actually, the train station is a state facility. I don't mind if the area allows?
A large train station, lots of seats in the waiting room, and there is a free toilet. Parking is convenient. There are a lot of cafes and various canteens, with a large selection of food
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!
I want places like the train station to always please their passengers with cleanliness and comfort. Therefore, the administration should pay more attention to this!!
The station has changed recently, the level of safety, comfort and service. Do not forget that this is Asia, so you need to be prepared for the local flavor and traditions
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.
An old but good train station, the staff is responsive, the guards are kind. The girls from the help desk are very kind, they will definitely help, they are very attentive!
I put 1 star only for the cashier's employees. It's just a nightmare, there are 1 maximum of two ticket offices, and the queue moves 1-2 people per hour! It is not clear at all what they are doing, they are very rude, they needed a boarding pass, they did not wait for their turn, they had to go to the Almaty 1 railway station.
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
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
Minus parking is too heavy, there are a lot of cars, there is practically no place, the pros are a very good train station you will find everything there from fruits to drinks the station is not small inside everything is comfortable
Almaty 2 railway station was built in 1936-1939. Let's leave it as an architectural monument. Personally, I like the building - it's small, cozy and such a native piece of childhood.
The beautiful train station is clean everywhere, I really liked it.the staff is very polite, the parking lot nearby is very convenient, the ticket office is clean, well done, there is no queue at the ticket office.
The station is so-so for a C grade
5,6 trolleybuses and 12 buses are going to it.
The boring design inside is so-so.
Here he will roll back for 20 years, so he looked more lively.
In general, there is little positive change in Almaty.
It's a great place. The historical monument of the city. Post-Soviet modernism cannot be called in other words. He greets and accompanies all those who come and go. This architectural masterpiece can be considered the hallmark of KTZ Almaty! Excellent service and very good infrastructure on its territory. KTZ carefully preserves This Historical monument of the city and continuously improves it, increasing the service and quality of all guests of our beloved city.
You just can't get here there is no zone for disembarking passengers at all, plus a million cameras, but buses and trolleybuses have a dedicated lane, as if people only drive to the station on them and not by cars and taxis, especially when they are late, there are also few comfortable seats inside, like the waiting room, everyone is standing on the platform and they are all scared away by the welcoming conductor, and so on but the main thing is the drop-off and landing area on the street
The station has remained in the distant past. The transition to the second, third and fourth paths takes a lot of time and effort. Especially if there is a train on the first track. Either you can bypass the train on the pedestrian bridge, or you can have fun with heavy suitcases
2-the railway station is old, but I often meet and accompany guests of the city and I like 1-railway and 2-RAILWAY more
In Almaty, every alley is dearer to me than my own

The building is very old, the parking is not convenient, without repairs it would be better to demolish and build a newer building with a good hall, more comfortable seats and good staff !
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+
It's cold and not cozy. It smells like a small train station, when it is opened only for the departure time of the train, it does not look like a place from where satisfied guests of the city leave🥺
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.
Minus, there are few ticket offices that are free to hand over tickets. Some are commercial.
Minus a very dirty toilet in the station building.
Another disadvantage is that it is impossible to get off the train to the station platform when several trains arrive. Going up the passage is still that extreme. In winter, the icy steps prepare you for hospitalization.
Of the advantages, a stop nearby is no problem to go anywhere.
An old and tortured train station, but there is something about it, childhood is remembered.
But the main problem is traffic jams at the train station and a terrible lack of parking
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.
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.
There are no smoking rooms (is it difficult to make near the tracks?), the land crossings are good, but they need to be done, the GDR wagons of 1993, the air conditioners did not work in the carriage. I do not recommend smoking in the wrong places, the police officers are very attentive. I liked the conductors, special thanks, the cars are clean. In general, it's time to build a new train station, and make one lane at the entrance to the station non-stop for cars, and the second specifically with a stop of up to 5 minutes (for unloading luggage, disembarking or boarding passengers)
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
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! 😉
we went to buy a Ticket from Almaty to Uralsk and decided to take it From Uralsk to Saratov as it was 2 times cheaper, but the cashier was rude and sent us to the forest! if there are such tickets, then why should I overpay twice as much?!
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
The staff does not find fault, they talk politely. They stop on the platforms for only 5 minutes at most. And so 2 minutes in total. And everyone wants to get out because it's very stuffy in the car.
In general, the station is not big, but everything needs to be eaten. The platforms are already outdated, apparently there is no money for this! There is a waiting room, drinking coffee is not a problem. There is a grocery store, an exchange rate, and the exchange rate is good, it is profitable to change unlike the city!
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
Sometimes there are stampedes, but in general the station is not bad. I was lucky to be there, to leave with a small number of people, I used the luggage room, I was satisfied.

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.
A good historical center, it beckons with beauty, but there is only one ticket office inside and there is a queue for it, and they try to sell tickets only for a week (if they don't buy blot ones), the rest just to sell them at a higher price.

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.
An ordinary railway station)A little fuss like everywhere else, a little noise) As it is, everything is fine! There is a waiting room where you can wait for your train, and if you don't want to wait in the interior, you can get out into the fresh air)There are also benches for waiting outside
