"Staying in this hotel was a total treat. It was absolutely wonderful. The room was fantastic. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. And the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Shout out to Diyor on reception who helped me when I arrived late.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Samarkand. It is at the edge of the historic part of town and easy to walk to everything. And there is a bus stop right outside the hotel to take you to the train station."
"We were welcomed on our late arrival by helpful staff who gave us information of where to eat. The room was beautifully comfortable and the toiletries in the bathroom lovely. The location was perfect."
"The hotel is located in a new - eternal city of Samarkand. We loved this area more than crowded area around registan and so called old town.
The room we have booked was bigger (81msq) but in fact we were given a room maximum 60msq, still my son roamed and enjoyed and we had a nice time. I mark cleanliness 4 stars because of very dirty carpets in the room, room itself was fairly clean. I also would like to highlight high quality coffee in the room, best I had in room in Samarkand. There was only 1 cutlery set while we were 2 adults, it was really unpleasant when we ordered food but didn’t have second cutlery. Dental kit was missing, only noticed comb, shower kit and shower cap, luckily we had our own. Breakfast was middle up, omelette was prepared properly and coffee was good! Staff was attentive.
Important notice, staff on the desk are young and yet smiling, but they need training. They have to inform guests about no smoking in the room, card for gym or other information. It’s important to guide guests with policies as not all hotels has same standards. Also inform all guest to do not smoke because my baby woke up because of fire alarm and my wife was scared, at 12 am night that is unacceptable! Overall this place has a nice concept and the best shower in Samarkand which have hold me on to do not ruin their score. Guys, please wake up - you have a potential!"
"Everything was great; the staff was very helpful and breakfast was delicious. The fact that Platan is one of the best restaurants in town makes it especially pleasant at the end of a long day of sightseeing !"
"This is such a beautiful traditional courtyard hotel. The rooms are huge, the staff is so welcoming and kind (they let me stay until my 9pm flight), the breakfast is delicious and the location cannot be beat. I would 100% recommend staying here!"
