3-Star Hotels in Samarkand

Nifal is a great new hotel. I spent 3 nights there. What you see in the pictures, is what you get, even better once you see it in person. Amazingly clean, tastefully decorated, high ceiling, two bottles of water, toothbrush, sleepers, and best of all, you’re asked to take your shoes off and place it on a shoe rack by the room. How cool is that? (speaking of cleanliness) Farrux at the front desk speaks English well, very kind and helpful young man. Breakfast is plenty full and individually served at a desire time. Kitchen staff greets you with a smile every morning. Hotel is about 10-15 minutes walk from the popular tourist attraction. Couple of restaurants close by with their specialty kebab (chicken, lamb and beef), they also serve beer and wine.

This hotel is a 5-minute walk from Siyob Bazaar. It's a pleasant, small hotel with a cozy, clean room, and all the necessary amenities are provided, although there wasn't a fridge (I know some people find this important). The breakfasts are good, with everything you need. As for minor points, I noticed some street noise, which can be quite disruptive at times. The staff is incredibly attentive and responsive – that's a huge plus for this hotel. Despite these minor issues, overall, we were very satisfied!

This stay was absolutely fantastic! I made a mistake with my booking, but the hotel staff were incredibly patient and helped me sort everything out. They were all super friendly, helped with our luggage, and provided exceptional service. The entire hotel was spotless and very comfortable. We woke up a bit late and worried we'd miss breakfast, but it turned out the hotel offered à la carte Western breakfast and freshly ground coffee, which tasted great, and the service was really thoughtful. The location is also super convenient, very close to the train station, making getting around a breeze. I chose this place specifically because I didn't want to stay near the necropolis area; it's about 5km from the attractions, and getting a taxi was very easy. Throughout my stay, I really felt the warmth and hospitality of the people of Uzbekistan. My accommodation experience was perfect, I highly recommend it, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!

The hygiene was a big issue; both the room and bathroom had a strong, unpleasant odor. Being on the first floor, I could hear the front desk phone ringing clearly. Every morning, the cleaning staff would chat loudly, making it impossible to sleep. This happened for all three days of my stay. The second front desk staff member I encountered had a stern expression, I'm not sure if something was bothering her. However, the room itself was decent, and both the facilities and room felt quite new.

There is no natural light in the room, so it is dark. For the 3 days I stayed, the floors had not been cleaned. And the owner keeps coming in and out several times in the day, to make sure lights are turned off even if you are in the room. The owner is easily available for any questions. I appreciate the location which has good restaurants and bakeries around. It is mangeable to walk to the different tourist attractions, around 30 minutes to one hour walk. Laundering services are offered against fees per type of clothes but they do not wash underwear. There is a big entrance an table outside in the patio which is pleasant.

The hotel is located in the historic city center, right by Registan Square. All the main attractions are just a few leisurely minutes' walk away. There are also plenty of cafes nearby, including some local spots that are clean, delicious, and affordable. I specifically booked a larger room with a street-facing window, as some rooms had courtyard-facing windows (which essentially mean they'd face the hotel corridor or lobby). Our room even had a cozy little balcony! The room itself was large and spacious, well-maintained with a touch of national character, very clean, and had pristine white linens. The air conditioning unit was well-placed, not blowing directly onto the bed. The bathroom fixtures were decent. We really enjoyed our stay. However, it might be a critical point for some that there wasn't a refrigerator in the room. We visited in May, so it wasn't hot yet, and we only stayed for 3 days, so it wasn't an issue for us.

Location of the address is inaccurate. Taxis tend to stop at opposite the road. Signage is very small. Need to pay attention to see the blue signage. I like to quietness and quaintness of this hotel, but bathroom facilities wise, it not fulfilling the basic needs of a traveller because of the shower facility. Otherwise, Environment is good, i like especially the outdoor seating space at ground floor. The hot water in the bathroom is very inconsistent. Water flow is very low from the shower head. Sometimes water get very hot and almost burnt my skin many times. Bathroom is very cramp very difficult to get even a proper shower. The staff did their best they can to clean up the place, fix the shower head and offer good service. But the facilities of the shower room needs proper maintenance and servicing, inconsistent hot water supply is frustrating.

Excellent service, the guys at the front desk were great! The location is fantastic. Plus, if you have an electric car and stay at this hotel, you can charge it here. The cleanliness was superb, and the breakfast was delicious and definitely worth it.

Hotel Samarkand Ali offers a comfortable and authentic stay in the historic city of Samarkand. The location is convenient, with easy access to major attractions such as Registan Square and Shah-i-Zinda. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, providing a relaxing environment after a long day of sightseeing. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist with directions or local recommendations. Breakfast is simple but enjoyable, featuring a selection of fresh bread, fruits, and traditional dishes. Overall, the hotel provides great value for money and a pleasant experience for travelers.

I didn't take pic of the room as it is basic but spacious enough. The hotel is strategically located in between various sightseeing sites. For travellers who opt for tram and bus, you choose the right location because opposite the hotel just accross the road, there is a tramvay stop and bus stop. Tramvay goes to and for the main train station if you are departing for Tashkent or Bukhara. While bus goes around the city. Take bus 22 to go around the city area such as Registan centre. Take bus 31 to and for airport. Really convenient, affordable, and I highly recommend it.
