Need a very good air ventilation. Metal scan access control post with bagage rentgen reviewing . Radio speak explanations have only two languages Kazakh and Russian, but with bed diction. Nearly building located a car parking zone.
Almaty Railway Station is a building with a history, which, unfortunately, does not always meet modern standards of comfort. My impressions of him are quite contradictory.
On the one hand, the architecture of the station is impressive. The building is beautiful, with typical Soviet-era monumentality. There is a certain charm of antiquity in it, a certain atmosphere that takes you back in time. Inside, the elements of the old decor have been preserved, which add a special atmosphere to the station.
However, modern repairs and reconstruction, apparently, were carried out unevenly. Some areas look quite decent, and some need serious updating. There is a feeling of some neglect in some parts of the building.
Overall, the convenience for passengers leaves much to be desired. The navigation system could be more understandable, the number of waiting places is not enough, especially during rush hours. Unfortunately, toilets are not always in perfect condition.
Thus, Almaty railway Station is a place with a rich history and beautiful architecture. But it needs a more thorough renovation and improved conditions for passengers to meet the modern level of comfort. I would rate it 3 out of 5 points. It gives the impression of a historical place, but it is not comfortable and functional enough for modern passengers.
Good location, clean! The staff is always friendly! Everything is convenient, boarding and disembarking!I regularly accompany and meet guests and friends.There are many shops and cafes
The best railway station of all that I have seen in Kazakhstan!Thoughtful functionality, an abundance of various shops and shops, you can easily have a snack or lunch both inside the station and on the forecourt, there are also many chairs for relaxation.There is also a large parking lot and a huge number of urban and suburban public transport routes.
In addition to the direct purpose of sending trains, the station serves as a transshipment base for residents of the suburbs working in the city and citizens rushing to work in the suburbs. You can eat inexpensively and relax on a bench in the station park.
THE STAFF OF THE RAILWAY STATION WORKS GREAT
COMPARED TO THE AIRPORT STAFF.
THIS MEANS THAT THE STAFF AND THE HEAD OF THE RAILWAY STATION / 1 ARE PROFESSORS OF THEIR BUSINESS.
THANKS TO ALL THE STAFF.
SINCERELY FROM ATYRAU!!
The station surprised me. For the capital, I would like to see a bigger and cleaner building. You can sit out if not for long. On the 2nd floor, the dining room is very nice and with pleasant prices. There is catastrophically little space in the waiting room. There is a currency exchange , a help desk . There is a pharmacy and shops across the street. Everyone's favorite curbs are being repaired. This is an interplanetary disaster.
Good evening!!! The station is poorly heated. My wife and I came to the train station at 22 o'clock to get on the second line of the train, in order to go to Astana, the escalators were turned off, we elderly had to go up with suitcases and then down on foot. Disabled parking in front of the train station has been removed, so you have to park your car and leave the paid parking lot. However, in a paid parking lot, upon acquaintance with them, state cars are placed in a disabled parking lot. There are only 3 seats allocated. If there are no places, then you have to park in a paid parking lot.
In general, everything is the same station, but it was updated, which was possible and necessary.... It's not Rio anyway. Although, there wasn't much time to examine it thoroughly. I would especially note the Namazhan that is necessary for believers, thanks to the administration, I took advantage of it ...
Video surveillance is needed inside so that outsiders do not arrange a rookery.
I'll be back soon, and I'll check the station management for flexibility. We'll find out how long it takes; between the survey and the expected reaction ...
The station itself and the forecourt have turned into many ways of taking money from citizens and guests of the city. For every sneeze, pay, the cameras are set to record traffic violations. Violation: stop at a specially designated place near the island in front of the station. That is, exactly where departing and arriving people, according to the laws of logic and the architect's plan, should get out of the taxi, pick up their luggage and go to the train station. Similarly, arriving citizens at the exit from the station with huge suitcases get to the taxi stand, only now there is a "no stop" sign on the only platform for loading and unloading people and their luggage. That is, corruption and fraud with the consent of the station management in collusion with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
There is much to be desired , no beautiful flowers near the station on the entrance , no comfortable benches to sit down , selling shops with products of kae samsa , doner is not very good quality and at the same time they tear wet , dirty taxi drivers bambila , dirty with poorly working condors , at the entrance to the station the urns are dirty and spit on , toilets are paid and badly smelling , everything is expensive , even a cup of tea , the pastries are not fresh , but they constantly stink in the interior of the station
They can't say anything about the station, but they're fooling around there, that's right, I took tickets for the first time, well, it so happened that I don't understand this, the prompters were found right near the entrance, I understand that I was fooled (I write that people wouldn't get like that) if you are sent to a certain ticket office, don't go Stand in line and take tickets one at a time! The tickets cost me 22,000 more than I could have taken, and even a reserved seat and with 2 transfers! (It's her own fault, of course) People, stand in line, take your time!!! Good luck and a good journey to all!!
It looks like a huge barn (and the word "Barn" is not in Kazakh, but in Russian). But the prices are like at Dusseldorf Airport. What is around the station can be bought for 200 tenge... It costs 700 inside the station . Metal chairs in the waiting room are a separate topic:- no matter what, the passengers froze off, the chairs were covered with dirty pieces of carpet.. And, this is the face of the "Southern Capital" - for visitors.
A normal train station inside there are shops you can buy anything from magazines to teapots with spoons you can have a snack and drink coffee and by the way the prices are very acceptable for everything although I used to think that the prices were space because the station was wrong
A meeting place for people dear to the heart, a place from where a new stage in life begins for someone, new acquaintances and wonderful trips to the wonderful, beautiful places of our Homeland
the station is otherwise good, but there are a lot of unfavorable people.For example, taxi drivers who harass girls, and drunks.As it is, the train station is very good, and so are the shops.Although the prices are high, but the range is acceptable.
The station is like a train station, a fairly large area of the station... But it is outdated morally, it needs to be refreshed, updated, improved, in general, you need to put your hand to improve...
The railway station itself is normal!
Of course, a lot needs to be finalized.
It is very conveniently located that in the vicinity, there are many small shops and one of the largest shopping and entertainment center in March!
Very convenient!
The station is beautiful and spacious. There is a cafe, pharmacy, luggage storage (open around the clock). It is located far from the city center. If you come to it from another country, it turns out that there is no currency exchanger here. This is a minus. Many bus routes pass by the station. You can go to the center, to the airport and to different areas of the city.
Only a sick, inflamed brain could make the first three lanes of the road near the train station bus-like, leaving one lane for cars, the farthest, removing all parking and prohibiting stops, it is simply not possible to drop off or pick up a passenger, a fine immediately arrives, and people with a bunch of suitcases are forced to walk 100 meters.......
There is no decent parking area for motorists. It is clear that this is a train station, but it could be made more comfortable: a huge open space in the building and at the same time, always stuffy, with retail shops (I would prefer equipped shops). It's not at all the same with ventilation and layout.
It is convenient to climb up to the bottom with a suitcase! The escalator is always there to help! There are a lot of seats, it's beautiful and everything is clear!!! Almaty is my favorite city 🇰🇿👑
I passed the mod as an old gray one and stayed. I want to get on trains at least a little brighter, more comfortable and at least a little brighter. There have been almost no changes for 30 years!
The ramp location is close to home, but I don't understand why the fast train doesn't stop at the first station, I often go on a business trip to chemkent, I have to go back, they create traffic jams for themselves
A good train station, in principle, like all train stations. You can safely wait for the train. It was difficult to navigate with transport. But in principle, I quickly found the right bus
My favorite Railway Station is Almaty 1, Turksibakiy district. I grew up here and have been living here for half a century, which is a big plus. Well, the only downside is that there are a lot of homeless people
A large convenient train station, three storeys high, everything is provided inside, from food to manufactured goods. Convenient access to the second line. The building of Almaty 1 needs to be repaired, everything is fine inside, the exterior is spoiled by the alabaster, gray, faded color. As it is, everything is wonderful. Convenient two-lane buses.stops
The big train station. But the navigation is bad. Several checkpoints. Comfortable.
It is convenient to get to the platforms - escalators to help. There is a lot of public transport near the station. The staff is normal. Be careful at the ticket offices, as different agencies work and the ticket price may differ by 5-10%
I really like the station, but it already needs repair, The problem is with sellers, prices are being charged, I think this is unacceptable, prices should be the same, porters deceive visitors, set prices like for a taxi, as if they take them by taxi to another city, Complaints to the police, someone restrain the porters, arrogant and impudent. There are a lot of cash registers, but as a rule, 1-2 work. Take measures
The train station itself is normal, but prices for any goods are 3-4 times more expensive, so I recommend buying goods and food in stores or cooking at home!!!
In childhood and adolescence, they often traveled by train. Alma-Ata - Moscow was a particularly favorite route. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, this flight was canceled and now I fly by plane. It is not for nothing that I visited the Almaty 2 railway station not to go somewhere, but only to walk along it, remember my youth and hide from the bright May Almaty sun. And I was in that area just on my own business. The station is clean and cool👍😊
The station is convenient for both greeters and mourners. There is a lot of space, escalators, a roof over the tracks, a platform at the level of the arriving train, you do not need to jump through the tracks as on the 2nd Almaty. Parking space.
The old railway station in Almaty is already a historical monument of the Soviet era! I like such buildings and structures! They give any city a special flavor and atmosphere of the years when it was built!
There's no way to get past the train station. There is a lot of public transport here.
It's always crowded.
The place is lively - you can buy railway tickets and come by train from another city.
And city residents are rushing to bus and trolleybus stops.
Near the station there is a Halyk Bank, a Fix price store, shoe and clothing stores. Not very far away, just one stop to drive or walk, there are the Central Control Center of the Turksib district, the MART Shopping and Entertainment Center, the District Office, the Akimat. A little higher - Kaspiy Bank, Forte Bank, Sholokhov bazaar. Not far from the market there is also a Fix price store, a Traffic light store.
Also, the World of Clothes store.
Maternity Hospital No. 4 is located nearby.
Oh, I really love exactly 1 railway station in Almaty. Firstly, I am not far away, I do not need a transfer, the 27 bus goes straight. The station is clean.
An old train station, but quite spacious, there are comfortable waiting rooms, a checkpoint at the entrance to the building, ticket offices where you can buy tickets and many shops if you suddenly forgot something on the road.
Among the disadvantages are iron cold seats and there are few of them when there are a lot of people) And the prices in the tenants' shops are very high... And one of the advantages is an escalator, a clear electronic scoreboard, clear announcements about the arrival and departure of trains, convenient stops in any part of the city near the station. A free and clean toilet is also very important! Parking is paid or free, but it is there. We have never suffered from this.
The 2nd and 3rd paths can only be accessed by bypassing the stairs, which are very high. There is no way to roll heavy luggage or a stroller. The escalator often does not work.
She lived in this area. Buses to all directions of the city run very conveniently. There is only one thing. Drunks and homeless people are always sleeping at bus stops. Okay, if they just lie there. They also pee and burp. Ugh
The first thing I wanted to say is that there is a train station and it is well close, at least for me, and secondly, from here you can go to any place in the city and suburbs such a bus hub))) but the only problem is parking and the culture of our driver's class is our scourge. And it's hard for the police to cope with this, so we can learn to respect each other in our heads. In my opinion, this is a problem that sits in us.
Firstly, the place of residence, when building, is chosen competently,the Soviet project,the Wind Rose is taken into account,the state,the landscape, the landscape is original to approach, on the outskirts of Almaty,it is very pleasant, and the city,you feel yourself after seeing paintings, graphics,Kazakh,national ornaments,patterns,paintings,this is our multi-channel and A welcoming mentality, super!!!
Top-end railway It is sent to any place in the Republic of Kazakhstan. A pleasant and clean waiting room. There are places to have a snack and replenish provisions for the road. The convenient location of the station will not allow you to miss your flight, and a competent system of signs will brilliantly indicate the direction to the desired path.
