2-Star Hotels in Samarqand, Uzbekistan

From the moment I arrived, the host made me feel completely at home — super kind, always smiling, and genuinely helpful with tips about where to go and how to get around. It didn’t feel like just checking into a hostel, more like being welcomed into someone’s home. The breakfast every morning was such a treat. Fresh, tasty, and prepared with care — the kind of breakfast that actually makes you look forward to waking up early. It gave me the perfect energy to start exploring the city. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s right in a very convenient spot, close enough to walk to the main sights but still in a peaceful area where you can relax after a busy day. I loved being able to step out and reach Samarkand’s incredible landmarks so easily. Overall, Old Radio Hostel has such a cozy, warm vibe. Between the amazing host, the delicious food, and the perfect location, it really felt like a home away from home. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable and authentic stay in Samarkand — I’d definitely stay here again!

Very spacious room with nice breakfast! The staff were super kind and understanding. Located in a quiet street end, it does become quite dark during nighttime, but I didn’t feel threatened at all. The keys are hard to master, though, so I advise people to pay attention to the instructions, I cannot count how many times I was helped by the staff… Overall, this was a great stay near the Registan Square, and I would recommend this place to anyone seeking a good night’s sleep near Registan.

The room was very clean and comfortable, with great light and ventilation. The owner, a Hubei native, was very hands-on, providing excellent service and easy communication. The prices were affordable, and there's a Hunan restaurant upstairs. The airport is three kilometers away, making it very convenient for exploring the surrounding area. I highly recommend this place for families visiting from China.

There's absolutely nothing to fault! It was super clean, had more than enough amenities, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was delicious!! I didn't use the amenities, but I was impressed with the cotton pads, cotton swabs, and shower caps they had available. 🥹 They also had delicious tea in the room, and even mineral water to make tea! It was amazing. I was so grateful that they stored my backpack after I checked out. I almost wished I'd stayed a little longer. If I come to Samarkand again, I'll definitely stay here!!

The hotel is great value for money. I booked it without much expectation because the interior was simple after seeing the room photos and the train was arriving at night, so I was worried that I would get lost on my first trip. I believed the Korean people who said the reviews were good. Some people say that the train is noisy because it's right next door, but the train doesn't run in the middle of the night or in the early morning. The staff speaks Korean and English, and it's not a completely British accent, but it's easy to hear. They're very friendly. Since the customer loyalty is high, I think I'll definitely stay here when I go to Samarkand.

It's really convenient to be able to walk to places like Registan Square. However, it's located down an alley and can be a bit difficult to find. There seems to be more than one way to write the address, so I was a bit worried about using a ride-hailing app. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and when I explained my discomfort in the room, they changed me. Breakfast was very delicious. -★2 The shower drainage was very poor. There was only one outlet available, so I couldn't use the stand to charge my phone.

The friendly staff speak fluent English. I'm not good at English, but they spoke clearly, which was helpful. Above all, the room was so cute that it got me excited! There were no amenities, water, or breakfast service, but I had a very comfortable stay. You take off your shoes at the entrance, which Japanese people might like. I was very happy to be able to walk around barefoot in the room without any worries. There are shops nearby, so you won't have any problems even if you get hungry. The entrance to the guesthouse is a little hard to find, but when I got out of the taxi and looked around, a kind man at the shop showed me the entrance. If you're tired of big hotels, this might be a good way to change your mood!

Новый отель - меньше года постройки. Оцениваем на 4+ хотя достаточного много моментов, которые можно улучшить. Сразу скажу были в начале января и был минус на улице, вполне возможно часть проблем когда тепло Вы не заметите: 1) одно утро не было горячей воды. Она и так идёт не сразу, но тут дождаться не удалось 2). Держатель для душа установлен на высоте больше 2х метров. Дети не дотянуться. 3) над уборкой надо работать - какой то грязный коврик из прихожей положили в ванную. Это было очень странно - свернули в трубочку и убрали из вида. Вообще уборка не очень. Например не выбросили переполненную урну. 4) на завтрак надо приходить в куртке и шапке. Очень холодно. Зачем то стоит кондей на 16 градусов и дует на все помещение. Персонал (повара) тоже в куртках В любом случае это все исправимо, и когда тепло думаю кроме уборки остальное будет незаметно. Да кому важно - в нашем номере было очень маленькое окошко очень высоко. Тоже странное решение - см. Фото
