Hotels with WiFi in Samarkand

The hostel is located in the Old Town, which is convenient as the bus stop is only a 3-minute walk away. However, it's situated in a small alley, and there's a stretch of road without streetlights when returning from the main square, which felt a bit unsafe at night. The owner was always helpful in solving various issues, for example, when I wanted to boil a couple of eggs in the morning. There's a water dispenser available in the common area, which is handy. The day before I checked in, guests reported no hot water, initially thinking it was due to late-night usage. The next day, it was still cold. When asked, the owner said a circuit breaker had tripped. Once fixed, the water was very hot, so it's important to report any problems promptly. It was advertised as a 4-bed dorm, but it was actually a 5-bed dorm, which was quite a surprise. The owner claimed it couldn't be changed on the platform, a reason I found hard to accept. Even if the main listing couldn't be altered, they could have added a note in the remarks section. Otherwise, it feels like deception, especially for a 'non-refundable' booking where no money is returned. This was the case for both the female and male dorms. With many guests staying, the cleanliness of the common areas struggled to keep up. Also, I didn't seem to find any lockable personal lockers. The owner, who uses a wheelchair, runs this hostel, which is commendable, and the price is good. However, the issues mentioned above do exist. Luckily, I only stayed for one night as a stopover.

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights in a triple standard room on the 3rd floor. The experience was amazing. The room was bright, clean, and comfortable. The hotel administrators were responsive, very polite, respectful, and attentive. All our wishes were taken into account. The hotel's location is beyond praise, close to Registan Square and Siab Bazaar. There was a beautiful view from the window. Breakfasts were varied and prepared with soul, very delicious. We left with positive impressions of both the stay and Samarkand itself. We will definitely stay at this hotel on our next trip. Many thanks to the hotel management for an excellent stay.

Beautiful hotel with a wine cellar downstairs, conveniently located 12 minutes' walk from the train station. However, it's a 20-minute taxi ride to the city center. On the downside: it was cold! There was no heating in the room, and we froze at night! (It was 10 degrees Celsius outside, so naturally, it was cold inside too). Our room faced the road, and the noise insulation was terrible! We could hear everything from the street and the corridor! There was a cigarette smell in the room! It seemed like someone had been smoking, and despite airing it out, the smell wouldn't go away! We asked to change rooms but were refused, told there were no other rooms available! Very unpleasant! We did extend our stay by 6 hours for half the price, which was a plus. Pros: The room had everything advertised, including a bathrobe – though only one, even though I booked for two people. The shower was broken; both showerheads (the rain shower too) seemed clogged, and water came out from the side on both, making it very inconvenient to shower. There were only two pillows; four would have been better. Other pros: Decent breakfast with coffee from a machine. The hotel is beautiful, and the rooms are clean and cozy. There's an ironing board and iron in the hallway. The beds are comfortable.

The location was good and the hotel was clean. Overall, I would recommend it. The staff were kind and helpful. When I arrived at the hotel with a same-day reservation, they seemed to have prepared a larger room than expected, allowing me to relax comfortably. There is no elevator, but this is a common building structure in Uzbekistan, so it wasn't a problem. The breakfast was sufficient considering it was included in the room rate. There is a currency exchange machine in the hotel, so you don't have to worry if you're short on cash. Finally, be careful with the bathroom facilities in the room.

Pros… * Location: 15 mins walkable distance to Registan square and a couple other attractions * Breakfast: a great variety of options ~ hot & cold + few options of fruits and pastries / desserts * Room: it was ok apart from the AC… which was dripping water once turned on.. hot water available for shower which was great! Beddings were good, a fridge, iron board, iron, a keep safe box, bath robes, 2 bottles of water available in room. Amenities: hairdryer, towels, shower gel, shampoo, hand wash, tooth brush, tooth paste and cotton buds were provided Cons… * Breakfast: starts at 8am and ends at 10am. It starts kind of late especially when some people of early start * Fitness center: only cardio machine available. Lights are never on, AC not on… also starts 8-8pm just really isn’t ideal timing especially during summer where people may wanna use the gym first thing before they have breakfast/ explore then come back for the gym.. hence I never got chance to use at all… it also looks like it’s never open… it gives a very off putting vibe. The swimming pool looks nice though.

The hotel is conveniently located within a 20-30 minute walk to major downtown attractions, and there are shops within a 5-minute walk. The hotel and rooms are clean, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The buffet breakfast is also delicious. There was a power outage from evening until morning, but the staff provided support by charging devices like chargers from a backup power source.

Location: Just a 10-minute walk to Registan Square, making it the perfect base for sightseeing in Samarkand. Being located on a main street also made it easy to call YandexGO. Room Amenities: The room included a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, bathrobes, complimentary bottled water, and disposable slippers. However, there were no tissues or hair conditioner. The towels and bathrobes felt stiff, suggesting they had been used for a long time. The bath towel was fine, but I was concerned about rust-like stains on the face towel. While there was a lidded trash can in the toilet, the absence of one in the room was inconvenient. Breakfast: The buffet-style breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious items. Hospitality: The staff were pleasant, and there was a server at the front desk offering pomegranate juice (?), creating a relaxing atmosphere. (Attached is a photo of the front desk). Other: The hotel has two floors and only stairs, no elevator. Although the staff helped carry my suitcase during check-in, the stairs make it unsuitable for guests with mobility issues. For stay registration (registration/регистрация), I asked the front desk and received a printed paper. Summary: This is a great hotel located in the heart of the Old City. It would be perfect if they added tissues and a trash can to the rooms and replaced the old towels.

A good place to stay is all you needed especially if coming from Tashkent (bus ride took 5.5hrs to Samarkand) - and this hotel made it up for the long day.  The area is a bit of a walk to the attractions - but with this summer I don’t mind spending a few Uzbek SOMs for Yandex (w/c is cheap by the way). Hotel was new, spacious and clean. There’s AC to beat the heat in the city. And there’s even breakfast included at that price point and they don’t ask you to pay extra if you already consumed 2 bottled water a day. Special shoutout to their new staff, Ulugbek! He showed me what Uzbek hospitality means. Very helpful guy. And to their boss for returning the extra money I paid and for not forcing me to change room when there was a mixed up w/ the room assignments - I’m supposed to get the standard but, I was given the next tier by mistake. Thank you, Hotel Donish! - Sam, Philippines

This traditional house, with its beautiful atrium, is nestled in an alleyway. At the entrance to the alley, there's a bakery, and you can really get a sense of local life, with residents and children playing. Despite its hidden location, it's conveniently just over a 10-minute walk to Registan Square. I booked a room with a bathtub and had no issues with the hot water or water pressure. However, just like the 4-star hotel I stayed at in central Tashkent, there was no plug for the bathtub drain. I had to improvise with a plastic bag to fill it up and take a bath. Given the country's situation with the disappearing Aral Sea, I've come to accept that Japanese expectations don't really apply here.

Де люкса нам не досталось, его уже заселили и портье даже не обратил внимания на нашу бронь. А когда увидел, сказал: Ой, у нас нет номеров. И мы заселялись целый час. Сначала поселили в ужасно тесный маленький номер. Потом переселили в более большой стандартный номер с компенсацией за де люкс. Вообщем управление отелем из рук вон плохое. Не понравилось. Не рекомендую.
