Hotels With Breakfast in Samarqand, Uzbekistan

A small, family-run hotel, tucked away on a narrow street. It's a great option for an overnight stay. Its main advantage is its proximity to attractions, just a 5-7 minute walk to the main square. We stayed in January, and the room had an air conditioner that could be set to your desired temperature. The windows face an inner courtyard. Breakfast is homemade: cold cuts, scrambled eggs, sausages, pancakes, flatbreads, instant coffee, and tea. The staff are friendly. Thank you 🙂 Suggestion: During our check-in, there was an issue with the internet; both mobile data and Wi-Fi were working poorly.

This hotel boasts an excellent location right next to a park. You can take a pleasant walk through the park to reach Tamerlane's Mausoleum and Registan Square. The hotel itself is lovely, featuring a gym and a good breakfast; we even got different options on our two mornings. There are several restaurants in the surrounding blocks, and about a kilometer away, you'll find banks for currency exchange, although the rates aren't the best.

We had one of the best stay in Uzbekistan here in this Old City Samarkand Hotel! Zafar was very kind enough to help us with various questions throughout the whole stay and of course the room was very neat and comfortable, just like it’s shown on the website. Breakfast was also nice to start a day, traffics a bit chaotic but Yandex taxi makes it easy to get to the main attractions in the city center. Highly recommend this hotel to stay.

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 small and located practically in the center. A taxi ride to Samarkand's main sights (Registan, Siab, Shokhi-Zanda, Gur Emir, Bibi-Khanum) takes about 10 minutes and costs 15,000-25,000 soums, depending on the time of day. Right next door, you can find good samsa (a popular spot, frequented by locals). There are many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Cons: no refrigerator in the room, small shower, and a very basic breakfast. Pros: the staff was always helpful, and the TV, in addition to many Russian channels, also has YouTube (a rare find). They allowed a free late checkout (at 5:00 PM instead of 12:00 PM). Overall, I recommend the hotel; it's excellent value for the money.

The hotel is located in an alley, about a 10-minute walk from Registan Square, which makes it relatively quiet. However, it gets a bit dark on the way back to the hotel after watching the light show at night. The hotel has an elevator, but you still need to walk a half-flight of stairs after exiting it. The room is quite spacious, and the shower is a wet-and-dry separation type. This 'influencer-favorite' hotel is a bit pricey, so it's probably worth experiencing once.

We are so happy and satisfied with this hotel until the day we checked out. We were accused of taking the laundry bag which is worth 300k Uzbek SUM. I went up with 2 staff and it turned out it was in the drawer all the time (the funny thing is I never even touched it.) I don’t blame these 2 staff as I know it is their responsibility to make sure nothing was missing/stolen (though next time it would be appreciated if they can check it more thoroughly.) What truly pissed me off is the attitude from another female staff at the reception named Zarifa. From the moment we checked out, she just looked grumpy and when my friend said “we never used it”, she reacted with “I am sure you did” in a very rude way! Even later on, it turned out to be in the drawer in the room, she was not even apologetic (the other 2 staff at least said “sorry for the mistake.” This is one of the 2 five star hotels in Samarkand and I just hope what we paid at this hotel is equivalent to the amount of respect you show to your customers. The hotel really NEEDS to put more training in your staff’s service. By the way, we had a really nice chat with another staff named “Firdav” at the first floor bar (if I remember his name correctly, he is tall and bit skinny). He had worked in Hilton for 2 years and the professionalism and politeness he demonstrated is just another level. PLEASE LEARN FROM HIM THAT HOW A STAFF AT 5 STAR HOTEL SHOULD BEHAVE AND TREAT THEIR GUESTS!!

I really didn't expect this Hilton Hotel to be so cheap, and it was far beyond my expectations in every aspect. 1. It's not far from the train station. It's about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan by taxi, more than ten kilometers away. 2. There are very beautiful artificial lawns around, and a clear river. There is also a cement road by the river, where you can take a sightseeing bus. A few yuan is enough. 3. There is also a large children's playground nearby, the fee is super cheap, one project is about 5-10 yuan. There are also some street snacks. There are also dances and other shows in the evening. 4. There is also a ”mosque” connected to the playground, where you can shop and stroll, and there are also very good restaurants to eat, mainly local barbecue, sacs and other real things. The outdoor dining room is very beautiful, with a white marble column base and a carefully carved wooden beam directly on it, supporting the entire roof. This pavilion is by the river, and the side is full of flowers and plants. The environment is very beautiful. The most important thing is that there are no mosquitoes! 5. The hotel's buffet breakfast is also very rich and beautiful. Children aged 5 are free, and children aged 11 are half price. Of course, you can also buy your own breakfast. 6. It is not far from the famous attractions, and it is very cheap to take a taxi here. 7. There is also a super large water park next to the hotel, which is open from 10:00 to 20:00. This hotel is perfect for staying and playing with children.

the front desks were very friendly and helpful. As a female solo traveller I felt very safe and secured throughout my stay. as I arrived before the check in time, I wanted to leave my luggage at the hotel and proceed with sightseeing and was offered if I would like to partake on an 'excursion' to help the students who will be future tourists guides experience and how they may improve. there were no extra costs incurred and we only need to pay for the entrance fee to the tourist attraction. it was a great experience for me as they were all very accommodating and cheerful. 

Nice room and varied breakfast buffet. Great Spa area with pool, sauna and hamam. The aircon in our room unfortunately was quite loud, blasting at full force, and it wasn’t possible to adjust it or turn it down. We gave feedback and they said they would send a technician to fix it while we were out, but the issue remained. Overall a pleasant stay.
