"i visit SamarKand regularly for 5 years now, this is probably one of the best experiences i had :
it is a family-owned property that appeals to many city travellers seeking solid 3.5~4 star rated european-styled hotel stay.
very conveniently located at University Boulevard, it has convenience store next street,
and one needs not worry about food =a lo of it, rows of restaurants next door"
"We were thoroughly satisfied with our stay at this hotel. Upon arrival, the front desk manager kindly upgraded our room to a suite in celebration of my wife's upcoming birthday—a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for our visit. The suite, featuring a separate bedroom and living room, was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained.
Breakfast was delicious, offering a wide range of continental options. While I would have appreciated more local dishes, the variety and quality were excellent. Both the reception and dining staff were friendly, attentive, and eager to assist. The SPA area and swimming pool were spacious, clean, and designed to offer plenty of privacy, even when other guests were present.
Tip: About 100 meters to the left of the hotel, there’s a fantastic local BBQ restaurant with affordable, tasty food.
A heartfelt thanks to the hotel management and staff for the upgrade and making our stay truly memorable."
"I didn't take pic of the room as it is basic but spacious enough. The hotel is strategically located in between various sightseeing sites. For travellers who opt for tram and bus, you choose the right location because opposite the hotel just accross the road, there is a tramvay stop and bus stop. Tramvay goes to and for the main train station if you are departing for Tashkent or Bukhara. While bus goes around the city. Take bus 22 to go around the city area such as Registan centre. Take bus 31 to and for airport. Really convenient, affordable, and I highly recommend it."

"Hotel location is good, quiet in the middle of the village, in the mouth of a village, not far away is a tourist spot. problem: 1. Wifi is too bad, almost no. If you need a computer to go online, you have to go to the third floor, where the signal is okay. 2. Sound insulation is not good. 3. The quilt is a white quilt. If you add the quilt in the cabinet, it is too thick. Even the waiter suggested using only the quilt."
"This is the most comfortable hotel I have stayed in in Uz. I am still very satisfied with this place in Samarkand. The hotel environment is very good. The room size is fine for me to live alone. Because the hotels here are not particularly large, it is okay in comparison. There is no way to compare with domestic ones. The hotel service staff are very enthusiastic and you cannot check in early. , at two o'clock in the afternoon, the guy at the front desk asked me to store my luggage and go out for fun. I would come back around one o'clock to go through the formalities. He promised to give me the best room. Well, the room would have a small terrace when I came back, hahaha. I played around in Kazakh Uzi. I only drank latte art coffee for breakfast here, hahaha. It would be even better if the Chinese flag could be hung at the entrance of the hotel. I hope the Ctrip hotel salesperson can help."
"The facilities are old, so it can't be helped, but there were shops nearby where you can buy daily necessities and simple food, as well as places to eat, so there was no inconvenience.
The owner responded to various requests seriously and quickly and was very helpful
They also arranged a one-day taxi to Shahri Saabs for a reasonable price of $50 (the driver told me it was $80), so I was able to afford a little more.
I enjoyed my stay in good Samarkand"
"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."

"A great hotel with choir location. Clean, delicious, sights in step-by-step availability.
It is a pity that the pool for a separate fee, but you book it only under yourself, without strangers"

Amazing
FFulankelinkingFacilities: Complete
Hygiene: Very good
Service: OK
Environment: Very good!
It is a tourist attraction! There are just a few places to eat! We rented a car and it was OK to travel! If you don’t have your own car, the garden is too big and a bit troublesome!
It is hard to imagine that in such a backward place, there is such a luxurious place, which is likely to be used by leaders for meetings!
GGuest UserWe are so happy and satisfied with this hotel until the day we checked out. We were accused of taking the laundry bag which is worth 300k Uzbek SUM. I went up with 2 staff and it turned out it was in the drawer all the time (the funny thing is I never even touched it.) I don’t blame these 2 staff as I know it is their responsibility to make sure nothing was missing/stolen (though next time it would be appreciated if they can check it more thoroughly.)
What truly pissed me off is the attitude from another female staff at the reception named Zarifa. From the moment we checked out, she just looked grumpy and when my friend said “we never used it”, she reacted with “I am sure you did” in a very rude way! Even later on, it turned out to be in the drawer in the room, she was not even apologetic (the other 2 staff at least said “sorry for the mistake.”
This is one of the 2 five star hotels in Samarkand and I just hope what we paid at this hotel is equivalent to the amount of respect you show to your customers. The hotel really NEEDS to put more training in your staff’s service.
By the way, we had a really nice chat with another staff named “Firdav” at the first floor bar (if I remember his name correctly, he is tall and bit skinny). He had worked in Hilton for 2 years and the professionalism and politeness he demonstrated is just another level. PLEASE LEARN FROM HIM THAT HOW A STAFF AT 5 STAR HOTEL SHOULD BEHAVE AND TREAT THEIR GUESTS!!
CCanton KennedyThe hostel is inside quiet alley of the old city, which needs like 10 min walk from any bus/tram stations but easy to locate nevertheless.
All rooms are facing the inner countryard so it’s quiet and peaceful. Room (and bed) is large and A/C is strong. Private bathroom is tiny but functioning with hot shower and hair dryer.
Breakfast is good and drinking water is available to refill.
Receptionist/manager/staff are all friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations and sightseeing suggestions.
YYOLO around the worldAlthough it is a distance from the scenic spot, the price/performance ratio is very good
The room is clean and the hotel looks like a palace. It is first-class.
The staff were also very friendly, helping with luggage and providing the night show time at Registan Square.
MMatt’s TravelsGreat hotel with understated elegance and a real touch of luxury. On my recent trip to Uzbekistan, I stayed in several different affordable hotels and guest houses, Hotel Caravan Serail was by far the best one. The cost per night was a little higher than the other places that I stayed but boy what a difference a few extra euros made! The room was super clean and elegant. The bed is very comfortable. Everything was very well maintained. The staff too were excellent, there was a slight mixup with my room initially, but it was dealt with very quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend this hotel as a great option for an affordable place to stay and if I ever visit Samarkand again, I would definitely book this hotel without hesitation. I only stayed one night but wish I had been longer. Oh, the breakfast is pretty good too!
OOlesya/BVery nice girls at the reception. New hotel. Excellent bed linen and blankets are very soft. But! The carpet is in vain, it is already old or visually not clean. Excellent breakfasts!! The cook is great. Everything is good.
But, when checking in, we were told that you can move around the territory of the eternal city on a golf cart for free, until 18:00. In fact, this service was not available. We had to move around on a boat for a fee.
There was no pool in the hotel either. Although we saw it in the photo. It turned out that the pool in the photo was from a neighboring hotel. We went with a 50% discount since it is the same chain. Overall, the impression about the hotel is positive. I liked everything very much.
GGuest UserThe hotel should be the best star hotel in the ancient city. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Gur Emir Mausoleum and a short taxi ride from the Registan Square. The hotel has good hardware facilities, clean and comfortable, and a grand lobby. Although I didn't book a room with breakfast, there are many elegant cafes around, and a breakfast costs thirty or forty yuan, which is still very good.
GGourav BoraWe had a great experience. Host is very friendly and considerate. The host went out of the way to arrange vegetarian food for us. Its a little away from centre but easily accessible via taxis which is very cheap. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, there is a big courtyard with trees. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed a lot. No complaints. Their home made jam is just awesome.
RRamonLocation: excellent! It is in the same building complex as the Art Gallery Happy Bird, mentioned in Tripadvisor. Registan is about 300 m away, so after dinner I would walk there to see the illumination.
My room had 2 twin beds, was rather small but comfortable. Upon opening the windows, a cool breeze entered the room. Wi-fi was reliable and there was a water boiler for tea.
Breakfast was abundant and good. The cook, Dishoda, would make me an omelette every morning. In the same building there are restaurants and fast food/ice cream joints.
On my last day I took the train to Khiva, which departs at 11:46. The hotel allowed me to stay in the TV room, with wifi access, water and toilet facilities, for 10 hours after check out. I recommend Hotel Dyor.
NNcholckStayed 1 night . location is very good and near registan complex. it was off season january and hotel was undergoing some re decorations . wifi was off and kitchen closed due to off season but owner was very friendly and honest about it and upgraded room. Had a very good sleep and only off thing was water kettle broken. simple breakfast , but ok, again dueto off season, I reckon its very good in season. beutifull rooftop terrace which im sure is thriving in summer. can recommend
