2-Star Hotels in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

☺️Things to enjoy: Location: literally 30 seconds away from the pedestrian walking street. Registan is just 10 mins away. Breakfast: it's not a buffet and you can't choose, but they cook you 2 home-made dishes (they differ every morning): could be pancakes with jam and fruits + another dish with meat. Staff: nice people, will help with anything they can. People from all over the world stay there: always nice to chat. 👀 What to watch out for: Rooms are quite old, and the carpet on the floor wasn't really clean, so I couldn't do my regular stretches. Towels smelled of mustiness (I guess bc they don't have a dryer). Rooms windows face the inside yard, so it's always way too dark in the rooms. No water bottles / tea / coffee provided in the room, no kettle, fridge, safe box in the room There isn't really a typical hostel / hotel common space to comfortably sit and chat - only this inside yard, but not sofas or room to play board games or comfortably sit.

We stayed there briefly for 2 nights and 3 days. Initially, my expectations were moderate, but the hotel definitely met them, and even exceeded them. The first thing I want to point out is how clean the rooms were. Everything was very clean; they cleaned frequently, changed towels, slippers, and other items, and replenished water supplies. Most importantly, the bathroom and toilet were spotless. You can tell by the hotel's condition that it's either new or recently renovated – everything feels fresh and looks great. The administrators, Sardor and Zhaloliddin, who work at the reception desk by the entrance, were particularly attentive and kind. The breakfasts were also good; they'd ask about our plans for the night and in the morning would inform us that breakfast was ready (there weren't many guests then) at the exact time we'd mentioned. What's more, they even set up the entire buffet just for us. Overall, it's a pleasant, good hotel with nice rooms and amenities! I think I'll return when I'm in Samarkand next time. P.S. For those planning to come by car – check if there's parking available, as there wasn't much when we were there.

An excellent hotel where everything is done with love. A very convenient location. I wanted to stay in an authentic hotel, as if we were visiting friends. And that's exactly what happened. The hosts were very welcoming. The room was clean. We checked in early in the morning without any problems. We are very happy we chose this hotel. Thanks to the hosts.

The room and shared space at Musavvir is very spacious and welcoming. The owner/manager was really friendly and polite, sharing tips and answering questions. They didn’t offer breakfast, which wasn’t too bad since there are small shops you can buy things from or just go eat elsewhere later. The only downside is that it’s a little further away on the street, so it can be a long walk.

Excellent location, generous service, and authentic charm near Registan. We stayed at Shahram Plus SH for one night, with a short extension, and had a wonderful experience. The location is excellent. It is in a quiet local neighborhood, just a short walking distance from Registan Square, the mausoleums, and the nearby bazaar. It feels peaceful and authentic while still being very convenient for sightseeing. The courtyard is beautiful and traditional, with a charming and authentic design that reflects the local culture. Our room was very large and spacious, easily accommodating three guests. It was beautifully decorated, well heated, and also equipped with air conditioning. There were plenty of outlets for charging devices, which is always appreciated while traveling. The bathroom was spacious and included a large bathtub and a western-style toilet. Free drinking water is available in the basement kitchen area, though guests need to bring their own bottles or cups. One thing we especially appreciated was the generosity of the staff. We explained that we had booked a night train departing after midnight and asked if a later check-out would be possible. They kindly offered us a much later check-out so we could relax and freshen up before heading to the station. We truly appreciated this flexibility. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly throughout our stay and treated us like part of their family. Breakfast was also very good. The dishes were local, freshly made, filling, and delicious. A couple small notes for future guests: the toilet paper may not meet Western European standards, so you may wish to be prepared. Also, the beds are quite firm. If you are a side sleeper, the firmness may take some adjustment. Aside from these minor points, the rest of our stay was excellent. We highly recommend this hotel for its location, authentic atmosphere, and the incredible service from the entire staff.

The room and bedding are very neat, the bathroom is clean, the front desk staff is hospitable, and coffee and tea are delivered to the room upon check-in. The hotel is close to the train station, and there are bus stops and taxi stations outside, which is very convenient to go to tourist attractions. There are large supermarkets and farmers' markets nearby, and living facilities are complete. It is very quiet at night. If you come to Samarkand for a trip, the Old Station Hotel is the best choice.

We loved everything. They met us at night, even though we had a late check-in. The room was clean. Everything was new. Beautiful. Everything was comfortable. The sights were within walking distance. The hosts were wonderful, they explained everything, answered any questions, and were always ready to help. We loved it. If we're ever in Samarkand again, we'll definitely stay here.

A very good experience
