Silk Road Empire Hotel

Incredible hotel with an amazing owner and excellent staff. Everything was impeccably clean, and they helped us with everything from carrying our luggage up to our rooms to finding us an amazing English and Russian speaking guide who toured us through Samarkand. The breakfast in the morning too was so good, fresh, delicious and with amazing service. 10/10. I highly recommend this hotel.

The moment we entered the Hotel Door, A Gentleman already welcomed us and the rest of the Staffs were kind, generous, helpful and very informative. A place where ypu can consider to come back and recommend for travellers or Tourists. The Hotel is even decorated with history of Samarkand. Breakfast is absolutely amazing. Trust me, You will be treated more than what You paid for. Worth it

An incredibly beautiful hotel. So well decorated that it its like a museum inside. The rooms are excellent and very modern. The staff is super helpful. There is a Bar and a restaurant with great food. Very well located. Quite a memorable place to stay

The staff is super friendly, very understanding, and absolutely pleasant to interact with! Whether it's the intricate art in the second and third floor, each of the exquisite rooms which have their own theme, the "Alishaan" heritage-themed decor which is exuberant, luxurious and royal, their in-house wine with samplers given on both evenings, or even the homely yet exquisite delicacies served (vegetarian friendly btw) at the breakfast buffet, or even the magazines kept atop the seating areas which show traditional dressing with the stellar historic locales in the background- every bit of this hotel will leave you completely satisfied and more!

This hotel is fairly new. It’s extremely clean and the breakfasts are absolutely wonderful. Eggs, toast , juices, clean dining room. Our room was large with two Queen beds and one single bed. Showers are standard. The staff seemed fairly straightforward, but there’s a real problem there. The manager, Muhammad, pulled us to one side and sat us on the couch and explained that he would move us to the Presidential Suite at no extra cost to us if we agreed to give the hotel a 10 Point rating on ***********. Taken aback I informed him we do not take bribes! I told him our room was just fine, and it was! Then we asked the Concierge if he would purchase two First Class two person couchette train tickets from Samarkand to to Khiva and back. We gave him the money and two days later he gave us our tickets and we were quite pleased…..until we got to the train at discovered he had PURCHASED STEERAGE class tickets and pocketed the difference. Imagine a 10 hour train ride in a four person compartment with two LARGE women assigned the lower bunks and we, my wife is 72 and I am 77, climbing up into bunk beds with the outside temperature at 102 degrees F. - for 10 HOURS I cannot emphasize enough to stay anywhere but the Silk Road Empire Hotel
