Grand Mir Hotel Reviews

The hotel was recommended to us by the Samarkand agency that organized our tour, the choice linked to the location near the station and the airport. It is an old hotel, on paper even a 5 star (according to Uzbekistan standards). As soon as you enter you will find half of the hall under renovation with workers and scaffolding working... Our rooms were located, the first on the sixth floor, quite decent, the second on the third floor, under renovation. One wonders why in such a large hotel they allocate rooms that have been completely renovated both internally and in the corridors (see the signs hanging on the doors!). We only stayed one night for a few hours and, also due to tiredness, we didn't ask for changes... but in another situation we would have called the agency and requested a change of hotel. That said: sad, old, moderately dirty rooms (look at the photo of the sofa...) and very noisy; the room on the sixth floor overlooked the square in front of the hotel, which is very busy day and night (and the soundproofing of the room was decidedly poor); the room on the third floor faced inwards, a sort of construction site and storage area for work materials. Very noisy and unusable air conditioning. Bathrooms old and definitely in need of renovation. The breakfast was a little better, and that's the only reason why I gave it two points. My advice: look for different accommodation.
