“Great Hotel in Samarkand with Amazing View of Bibi Khanym Mosque”

The main selling point of this hotel for us was the amazing view of one of Bibi Khanym’s domes from the atrium of the hotel grounds.

The main selling point of this hotel for us was the amazing view of one of Bibi Khanym’s domes from the atrium of the hotel grounds. The location of this hotel is also very good if you are trying to go to Registan Square (15 min walk down the main thoroughfare) and the Siyob Bazaar. If you are coming by Yandex, it will most likely drop you off in the alleyway behind the Bibi Khanym Mosque and next to Kafe Bobur and Siyob Bazaar. At the T intersection just turn right until you reach the end of the street and turn left and you cannot miss the hotel entrance. Quite easy to access actually with Google Maps deployed when you’re on the ground. The hotel staff were extremely friendly (both restaurant and hotel staff). The restaurant staff always helped me out with my ice requests late at night and were pleasant to talk to for other things. The restaurant had an even better view of Bibi Khanym! The hotel staff (presumably the manager / caretaker / owner) was super friendly and hospitable. At the end of our stay he arranged takeaway breakfast boxes for our early morning train to Tashkent without us even asking! The rooms were quite nice, especially at the price point we paid for the room. Everything in the room (shower, electricity, bed, etc.) were in tip top shape with no signs of wear and tear anywhere. There was a small ant trail here and there, but nothing to be alarmed about as it was mostly confined to the bathroom and entrance. Our favorite part about the hotel were the outdoor seats and tables outside our room. My friend and I spent a good couple hours sitting in those chairs just admiring the turquoise dome in the Bibi Khanym complex. The location cannot be beat and I think it is the best hotel for that reason in Samarkand. Overall we were extremely pleased with the hotel and its staff and would recommend this one to anyone looking for accommodations in Samarkand.

“Superb location”

This is a very nice hotel and to know how good the location is, you just need to look to the pictures. Good rooms, good breakfast, good service. Only disadvantage (of the location): far from the best restaurants in the city (but close to the sights).

“Good hotel and helpful staff”

This hotel has an excellent location, the room was very clean and a good breakfast was served in a panoramic terrace. The staff is very helpful. We planned to reach Fergana by train from Tashkent but all the trains were full. Fortunately, after having explain the problem to the reception guy, he quickly arrange for us the transfer from Tashkent to Fergana by car. We found his friend waiting for us in front of the train station and we finally arrived in Fergana. We paid 50 USD...a travel agency in Tashkent asked us 250 USD for a transfer by car.
