Hotels near The Eternal City, Samarkand

I chose Sangzor boutique hotel after reading all the good reviews here. The pedestrian street is just at the door step. Hotel staff Sobirjon is very helpful, he showed me the tourist information centre across, a few shops away when I wanted to book a trip to cross the Samarkent border to Tajikistan. I told Azamat, the manager of the tourist information centre that I was having problems booking Yandex rides back to hotel using Sangzor boutique hotel as destination as it is on a pedestrian street and most of the time Yandex drivers dont know where to alight me. He advised me to use the big red advertisment of the restaurant name (sorry I forgot) on the back wall where Yandex drivers alight me correctly at the back, just need to walk through the opening & see the hotel across with its red carpet. I also found out from Azamat that they have student guides for the 5h old city tour US45, local guide $65 and there’s a whole day 9-5pm tour with guide & transport US115. I stayed 3 nights here, it is very convenient with the tourist information centre across. Azamat personalised an itinerary for me to Tajikistan Pangjakent & Dushanbe. I went to Hamkor Bank to withdraw USD, paid for the trip & departed the next morning! Best hotel to stay & plan last minute trips! P/S upon check out, the staff at reception passed me a slip of paper with details of my stay. I realised at the Tajikistan Panjakent border custom wants to verify my stay at Samarkent and he wants to see my registration paper!

Diyor Hotel is definitely a go. It’s in Registan Square vicinity and super near to anything. There’s a restaurant beside the hotel if you want a quick bite or if you decide to skip breakfast that the hotel provide. About the room, I have no complains. They have hot showers, dryer, electric kettle, blankets, aircon and tv. If you have an issue with your room, politely ask for a change. They will gladly do it. On the first day I came, my door was unable to lock. However, they immediately gave me a new room without any fuss. Also, twice I came down late for my complimentary breakfast. But there’s an elderly woman whom I called ‘Ama’ helped made me a nice one on both occasions. If case you don’t know, this is a family hotel. There’s also a young man named Anwar who managed the counter. Should you need any help, don’t be shy to ask him. On the day I need to leave, I asked him to wake me up at 4am because I had a flight to catch. He really did call my phone to wake me up. I really appreciate the service. I definitely recommend to those who wants to book a room here. I assure you will find it better than most. (Ps: I didn’t take any photo as I thought that since I have experienced nothing negative, I don’t need to take any.)

In early December, I was resting with my friends in this hotel. We were met on a comfortable car(transfer free from the hotel). The settlement went very quickly.The rooms are excellent, clean with good furniture. Towels, toiletries changed every day.Bedding and dressing in very good condition changed in 5 days of stay 2 times. Rooms are cleaned perfectly.I wanted to stop for breakfast. Since the hotel is small , there is no great diversity in dishes. But there is everything necessary for a dense breakfast. Special thanks to the cook Dile. Cook delicious at home, wondered if everything liked. There was also a variety of fruits. Coffee is made from a capsule-caffeine. At nights rested in a pool with jacuzzi and saunas. Booked time and we were provided with 2 hours all the spa complex individually with towels, coats . Thanksgiving words want to convey to the hotel manager AMIRU. Very attentive, kind and responsive young man. Thanks to him our holiday at this hotel was comfortable and left only good impressions about the hotel and people of Samarkanda. I will definitely recommend this hotel and already recommend it.

After a few rough nights at a Soviet hotel, words can’t describe how happy I was to see this hotel. The male receptionist was very welcoming when I arrived as he let me check in a bit earlier after a train ride. The breakfast fulfilled my needs as they have fresh fruits, vegetables, yoghurt, eggs, coffee… no complaint. The guy working at the breakfast area was also very helpful. After I finished gym, I went up there. He immediately asked me if I needed water. It shows that he’s attentive. I felt happy staying there. The reason I booked it was the gym. As an active person, I need to work out on my travels. The gym is not fully equipped but it provides with the basics such as a treadmill, a bike and weights. Location wise, it’s not in the center of the tourist spot but it’s walking distance. It took me 15 min to get to Registan. Don’t worry though as Samarkand is pedestrian friendly.

Ctrip gave the price of hotel reservations to the big oolong, the super big oolong, the price is very outrageous, the rhythm was delayed for nearly 2 hours, the hotel suspected that we were staying in vain without paying, the big oolong of Ctrip , It had a great impact on our trip that day. After returning to China, the compensation was also crooked and crooked. After a long time of tossing, it was like squeezing toothpaste. It took a long time to compensate. I was very dissatisfied with the service of Ctrip. I felt that I could pay less. The kind of accompany less. There was no time to eat the rich breakfast provided by the Samarkand Hotel, and the bus ticket was also abolished. I spent money on Ctrip. The hotel is located in the central city of Samarkand. The location is pretty good. It’s just that there are no hotels in Samarkand that provide lunch and dinner. There are no restaurants around the hotel where you can eat. I asked the locals that they have to go far out. The distance can be realized.

This hotel is within a walkable distance from the main tourist attractions. The room is clean, but tired. The towels smelled a little musty. Wi-Fi did not work well inside the room. Of the bath accessories, we were given only soap and shampoo. We had a breakdown of the bath mixer and the staff tried to fix it quickly. In general, all the staff are extremely pleasant and always try to help.

I booked a 1 night stay at the Continental but arrived around 9am, it wasn't an issue and the gentleman on the desk quickly checked me in to a wonderful corner room. A great size with a nice view. The rest of the hotel was spotless and the location was solid. The concierge arranged a city tour with a fantastic guide and we managed the see all the sites.

The staff are all pleasant and helpful. As for the service, I put a plate asking for the room to be cleaned, but when I came back at noon, it was still not cleaned. The balcony of the Jr suite room was very large and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very delicious. However, alcohol is not served, so it is not suitable for those who want to drink alcohol during meals. Overall satisfied as a 4 star hotel.

During our trip we had select East star hotel as our basis for exploring Samarkand. Hotel is centrally located in the center in a nice and quite neighborhood just steps to the main venue and very good restaurants around. Hotel has nice design and room was clean and modern and had everything. We had dinner and some drinks on the rooftop restaurant and food was nice and good price. A very good choice for Samarkand.
