"Hotel is a little out of the city (~20 minutes walk) and the hotel is designed to cater for business travellers. However, it still makes a good base for tourists visiting Samarkand. The room was clean and modern, bathroom was really nice but the WiFi was a bit hit and miss. Breakfast was buffet style and was fine.

"The hotel is nice and at first sight service was good. However, after I'd checked in, staff first tried to force me to take a second room at extra cost and then cancelled my booking before calling the immigration police.

5/5 Excellent
"We loved everything about this property as you can see. The staff were super helpful, great rooms, breakfast, pool area. We loved the location as it was walking distance to everything but not in the thick of everything. A nice place to go and relax at the end of a full day of sightseeing. Fantastic ice cream shop next door"
