Hotel 2-Star di Samarqand, Uzbekistan

This is absolutely stunning! A very stylish hostel, decorated with great taste. We had a private room. I work in the cultural sector, at a museum, and I felt like I was among like-minded people who understand and appreciate the past, retro style. Vintage furniture, a lampshade, a table made from a sewing machine, nightstands made from radios, a floor mirror. All this in the heart of the tourist district, next to the Bibi Khanum Mosque. A lovely breakfast in the lovely courtyard. If I go back to Samarkand, I'll definitely go there!

The location is good, within walking distance of Registan Square. The staff were also friendly. The bathroom facilities were a bit lacking. After showering, water would seep out around the sink, so I had to hold it down with a towel. There was no hair dryer. Breakfast was simple but good.

What can you say about a place where you are greeted as a long-awaited guest and seen off as a family member? Despite the fact that the young couple had a baby just a week ago, both husband and wife responded immediately to any request. The location of the hotel is very convenient, there is a public transport stop nearby. The only downside of Samarkand is the lack of house numbers, so the taxi driver circled us for a long time. For information: the hotel is next to the Ascon store, and opposite the pizzeria, in the direction of the road leading to the Shahi Zinda memorial complex. I definitely give the hotel an excellent rating. Well, and Skmarkand is love for life!

On my last day of independent travel in Samarkand, I had an 8 AM train, so I wouldn't be able to make breakfast. I informed the front desk in advance to prepare the check-in certificate (the small slip of paper) for me in the morning. This is a Uzbekistan regulation; if you've been traveling here for more than three days, border control might randomly check your accommodation certificates from hotels and guesthouses when you exit the country. They also prepared a packed meal for me. The staff member on duty in the morning quickly sorted everything out. Since this hotel is located on a pedestrian street, arriving and departing by ride-sharing service requires going to a spot not far diagonally across from the hotel, then passing through a small gate to a back street to pinpoint the pick-up/drop-off location. For arrivals, contact the hotel beforehand, and they will email you the details. For departures, some ride-sharing drivers might get confused and have trouble finding the spot. It's usually not a big deal, but when we left in the morning, it happened twice, and we almost had to ask the front desk staff to call a car for us.

The hotel is great value for money. I booked it without much expectation because the interior was simple after seeing the room photos and the train was arriving at night, so I was worried that I would get lost on my first trip. I believed the Korean people who said the reviews were good. Some people say that the train is noisy because it's right next door, but the train doesn't run in the middle of the night or in the early morning. The staff speaks Korean and English, and it's not a completely British accent, but it's easy to hear. They're very friendly. Since the customer loyalty is high, I think I'll definitely stay here when I go to Samarkand.

The friendly staff speak fluent English. I'm not good at English, but they spoke clearly, which was helpful. Above all, the room was so cute that it got me excited! There were no amenities, water, or breakfast service, but I had a very comfortable stay. You take off your shoes at the entrance, which Japanese people might like. I was very happy to be able to walk around barefoot in the room without any worries. There are shops nearby, so you won't have any problems even if you get hungry. The entrance to the guesthouse is a little hard to find, but when I got out of the taxi and looked around, a kind man at the shop showed me the entrance. If you're tired of big hotels, this might be a good way to change your mood!

A really good hotel with a great location. It’s very walkable, about 2 km walk to Registan Square, and surrounded by plenty of markets and local restaurants. Everything we needed was right in the area, which made our stay very convenient and enjoyable. The bed was super comfy and the room felt very cozy, perfect for resting after a long day out. Overall, we loved our stay here and would happily choose this place again. A solid choice for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a nice local vibe.

The staff was kind and kind. But when I tried to get hot water, red water smelled of iron came out. I couldn't take a shower because it was obvious that if I took a shower with that hot water, my body would smell more than before I took a shower. Other than that, it is an inn without problems.

We set a triple room, the room is very clean, the decoration is very special, the service is very warm, the breakfast is very rich, you can store your luggage, when you leave the store, you also help us arrange a free delivery to the train station, and send a special gift to the store, and also intimately take a photo with us! In short, the accommodation experience is great! The only fly in the ointment is that there are no slippers and shower caps!
