2-Star Hotels in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

☺️Things to enjoy: Location: literally 30 seconds away from the pedestrian walking street. Registan is just 10 mins away. Breakfast: it's not a buffet and you can't choose, but they cook you 2 home-made dishes (they differ every morning): could be pancakes with jam and fruits + another dish with meat. Staff: nice people, will help with anything they can. People from all over the world stay there: always nice to chat. 👀 What to watch out for: Rooms are quite old, and the carpet on the floor wasn't really clean, so I couldn't do my regular stretches. Towels smelled of mustiness (I guess bc they don't have a dryer). Rooms windows face the inside yard, so it's always way too dark in the rooms. No water bottles / tea / coffee provided in the room, no kettle, fridge, safe box in the room There isn't really a typical hostel / hotel common space to comfortably sit and chat - only this inside yard, but not sofas or room to play board games or comfortably sit.

The hotel is beautiful, fresh, and everything is new with a pleasant interior. The staff are friendly and always willing to help if they can. The cleaning lady is also very nice. The rooms are small but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Each floor has a small balcony where you can smoke if you wish or enjoy a morning coffee, assuming you manage to snag it. Downsides: The bathroom had very high humidity; I had to keep the door wide open constantly, otherwise, the towels wouldn't even dry. At night, a strip of light enters the room because the door isn't fully sealed. Around 2 AM, some staff member noisily checked in new guests, talking loudly and so on. There was no respect for sleeping guests – I, of course, woke up. While being polite to some guests, they shouldn't disregard the right of others to rest. In general, noise from the corridor and slamming doors is very audible, but what kind of soundproofing can you expect with such a gap between the door and the wall? I wasn't particularly impressed with the breakfast: there's nothing to complain about, but nothing to praise either. I went once and didn't feel like going again. It's clean, decent, and cozy, but for the price per night in Qatar, I've had poached eggs with salmon for breakfast, not just mild yogurt and sausages. But these are differences between countries, and overall, I have no complaints about the hotel itself; you can certainly get enough to eat. The people and the interior were what I liked most. I recommend this hotel to everyone!

15 minutes walk to Registan Square. The guest house is in the middle of residential housing/residential complex, just a few tens of meters to the highway. The place is quiet and comfortable like grandma's house

Mind-blowing! The guesthouse is in a quiet area, but not far from the shops and restaurants. A true hidden gem! From the moment I stepped inside, I was absolutely charmed by the incredible collection of vintage items and antiques on display. It’s like stepping into a cozy, living museum. Despite the antique decor, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the room was spotless, and the Wi-Fi was fast. The hosts were wonderfully welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed. He treated us with care and even prepared maps with highlighted sights to show us where the most interesting places were. If you want a stay with real character and soul rather than a standard, sterile hotel, this is the place to be!”

Facilities: A bit old. Location: Tucked away in an alley. Cleanliness: Decent. Service: Good. The little white note indicates they can open (the room/door) proactively. They allowed an early check-in, and adding just 5,000 won for breakfast was a great deal! I recommend taking a taxi here; otherwise, you'll never find the place.

The room and bedding are very neat, the bathroom is clean, the front desk staff is hospitable, and coffee and tea are delivered to the room upon check-in. The hotel is close to the train station, and there are bus stops and taxi stations outside, which is very convenient to go to tourist attractions. There are large supermarkets and farmers' markets nearby, and living facilities are complete. It is very quiet at night. If you come to Samarkand for a trip, the Old Station Hotel is the best choice.

The landlord is very attentive. I contacted the landlord via WhatsApp and sent him the location. When I arrived, the landlord was waiting for me downstairs and took my luggage upstairs. The room was specially reserved for me. It was newly renovated and fully equipped. The landlord replied to messages very quickly and solved all my problems. I will stay here again next time and will recommend it to my friends on Xiaohongshu!

Very good experience
