It feels like a country hotel located in a quiet place.
When it gets late at night, the hotel doors are locked until dawn, which seems perfect for older travelers who are concerned about security.
The room is relatively small, but it is equipped with fluorescent lights to make it easy to work quietly.
You can have a light buffet meal in the morning, but since I don't like greasy food, I ate a fried egg, a sausage, yogurt, tangerines (high in sugar), and a slice of bread. I also ordered and drank black coffee for free.
The hotel staff are friendly, but they don't speak English well.
When I checked out to take the 6 o'clock high-speed train to Tashkent, I was surprised to be asked for a tourist tax of $4 per day or $8 for both days. I thought I would be late for the train, so I paid for it and got on the train, then told the tour guide to go there and collect the money since I felt like I was being ripped off. Looking at the KakaoTalk message the tour guide sent later, it seems that Samarkand really collects a tourist tax. It would be good to know that those staying in Samarkand will have to pay an additional $4 per day.
