3-Star Hotels in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

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!

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.

No words can say this better than the experience I had staying in Samarkhand. I was injured during transfer from Tashkent to Samarkhand. Found myself left at the curb with a sprained knee. A pickup passed by and actually helped me although it was a busy day for him. At the hotel, a pretty receptionist named Nozima was tremendously helpful. She was an angel sent to me during my 2 nights stay at Kampoeng Indonesia. Always attending and calling in on me for any needs. She assisted me with transfers, cancellations of bookings (due to my shortened trip), calling taxi for Tashkent for my trip back, calling paramedics and most of all translating all my needs into assistance, buggy call, and not to mention 3 meals a day. My gratitude also goes to the handsome pickup guy i didnt catch his name, Ulugbek the most charming buggy guy, Xofiza my morning breakfast lady, Fazila the breakfast cook, Pak Agus the dinner chef and those I couldnt name them. My travel to Uzbekistan was memorable because of these people. And yes I would say it million times, Uzbeks are nice kindred hearted people. Very helpful and curteous too. I would come back to Kampoeng Indonesia only to thank those lovely people!! Rahmat to all of you!!

The hotel has an interesting interior and is conveniently located, with all attractions nearby. It's very clean and comfortable. The reception staff are always helpful with any questions and provide great advice, a big thank you to them. I especially want to thank the chefs who prepare the breakfasts; they are delicious, with fresh pastries and a variety of dishes, and they added something new every day. In the evenings, you can have tea in the dining room. My wife and I loved everything and will recommend the hotel to our friends and acquaintances. We particularly remember the breakfasts on the 'tapchan' (raised platform).

The best part of this hotel is its location: It is especially close to Hazrat Khizr mosque and Shah I Zinda, but is truly walking distance to all the main attractions in Samarkand. The room itself was fairly nice and new, but the supplied amenities felt a bit cheap - instead of bottled water, you get water in sealed plastic cups. The shampoo comes in very small 10ml bottles and there is no shower gel, just bar soap. Also, the housekeeping was very non-thorough. Even though I explicitly requested for my room to be cleaned, I came back to the room to find a half emptied rubbish bin (Why can’t they empty the whole thing?) and my hairs still on the floor of the toilet. There was a decent spread at breakfast and the taste was okay. The hotel staff are all quite nice but some of them may not speak English so well.

We extended our stay at this hotel for another night because we didn't have enough time to see all the beautiful sights. There's a great chaykhana (tea house/restaurant) right across the street, and we really enjoyed everything.

If we disregard some ”minor issues,” the hotel is generally not bad: 1. During my two-day stay, there were three power outages. The first was just as I was about to take a shower (I'm so glad I hadn't started showering yet). The second was after a brief power outage. The third was the most frustrating. After a long day of hiking, I returned to my room exhausted to find it completely dark, with no switches or air conditioning working… It took a long time for a staff member to see me and turn the power back on… Apparently, they deliberately cut off my room's power. How ”environmentally conscious” they are! 2. This is a family-run guesthouse, so I wasn't expecting a hotel-style welcome. However, their service attitude still made me feel uncomfortable… From check-in to check-out, even when they asked for a positive review, everyone had a cold face towards me, making me constantly wonder if I owed them money or if I was just too ugly… Perhaps it was a culture shock? But of all the countries I've visited, only the staff here are so ”solemn and dignified”... Very well... If this is how you treat your guests... I will never laugh again in Uzbekistan... It makes me look like a clown... 3. Terrible service. There was never anyone at the front desk, especially when the power went out in my room and I needed help... During my two-night stay, no one cleaned the room. Now for the pros: 1. The room was clean, bright, and spacious, spotless. 2. The breakfast was very good, plentiful, and nutritionally balanced. Furthermore: Only the bottled water in the room was free on the first night of your stay; they didn't replenish it during your stay. A bottle of water in the refrigerator next to the front desk cost 5000 soms.

Pros: It's right next to a mosque 🕌, which isn't a famous attraction, but I prefer that kind of down-to-earth feel. It's also not far from the main sights and very close to University Road. Free parking is available at the entrance. Breakfast was decent; although there were a few flies, the variety was quite good. Cons: The room smelled absolutely terrible, an awful stench. It was a disaster. The drain reeked, and the furniture in the room was like something from a cheap short-term rental. The smell was so bad at night it gave me a headache and made me feel nauseous. Even with the balcony door open, it didn't help 🙅‍♀️; the smell was continuous. Next time I stay somewhere, I definitely need to see the room first! I'd rather sleep on the balcony. Staying in a room like this for too long would definitely be bad for your health!

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.

The staff were all very kind, and it was great that they let me store my luggage until the evening after I checked out. Gur-e-Amir is about a 5-minute walk away, and Registan Square is about a 15-minute walk. I did notice two things: 1. The walls are quite thin. In the morning, I could hear not only the people in the next room but also conversations from the hallway, so it might be hard to relax. 2. The only power outlet was behind the mini-fridge at floor level, which was quite inconvenient.
