4-Star Hotels in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Samarkand. The staff are friendly, the hotel is clean, and the breakfast is quite decent. Above all, however, the location is excellent. Samarkand has several international chain hotels, but many of them are located farther from the city center, which can make it less convenient for travelers to get around in the early morning or at night. For me, one of the great pleasures of traveling is being able to take an unplanned evening walk, come across a busy local restaurant or pub, and stop in for a simple meal or a drink. I think many travelers feel the same way, and this hotel is very well located for that kind of experience. If you are a runner, the location is even better. From the hotel, you can run along the boulevard with the Amir Timur statue and continue to Registan Square. The round trip is roughly 5 km. If you extend the route to Bibi-Khanym Mosque, it becomes about 7 km. One of the best things about running while traveling is the scenery you get to enjoy along the way. On a simple 5–7 km jog from this hotel, you can pass many of Samarkand’s major sights, including Gur-e-Amir, the Amir Timur statue, Registan Square, Siyob Bazaar, and Bibi-Khanym Mosque. Being able to see so much of the city during a short morning run is a real advantage. Overall, I would especially recommend this hotel to independent travelers who do not enjoy simply following a fixed itinerary—leaving with a guide in the morning, returning with the guide in the evening, sleeping, and repeating the same routine the next day. If you like exploring a city on your own, walking around the neighborhood, eating where locals eat, or going out for a morning run, this is a very good base in Samarkand. I have stayed at several other hotels in this area, and considering the location, cleanliness, service, and overall convenience, this was the best one for me.

The location was good and the hotel was clean. Overall, I would recommend it. The staff were kind and helpful. When I arrived at the hotel with a same-day reservation, they seemed to have prepared a larger room than expected, allowing me to relax comfortably. There is no elevator, but this is a common building structure in Uzbekistan, so it wasn't a problem. The breakfast was sufficient considering it was included in the room rate. There is a currency exchange machine in the hotel, so you don't have to worry if you're short on cash. Finally, be careful with the bathroom facilities in the room.

We had to extend our stay and decided to stay at the same hotel for practical reasons. The room is clean and convenient, they provide water bottles and Ahmed tea which is the best. The only thing missing is a bidet in the bathroom. Breakfast was ok. The location is central, a few minute walk from everything you need to see in Samarkand. And a 15-minute drive from the train station. The man working at the reception on the last night was not as pleasant as the first two as he stopped us on our way to the room for the taxes we had to pay because we extended our stay. He could’ve done it differently and asked us while we checked out or simply told us to come pay when we have a chance to do so, which is usually what is done in other hotels. But instead I had to go back and forth several times to try and pay him by cardbecause he could not figure out how to make the card terminal work. I was so tired and just wanted to use the bathroom and go to sleep and he would ask me to wait an hour for his manager to come, and then lecture me about how things are done in hotels worldwide, as if I did not know, having stayed in hundreds of hotels myself… anyway, I figured he was just new and a bit awkward but there was no need for the condescending tone or to imply that we were going to leave without paying the taxes…

I highly recommend this hotel! I was torn between two Hilton properties, but I'm so glad I chose this one. It's incredibly convenient – a taxi ride anywhere only costs 10-20 som. Since I couldn't use ride-sharing apps due to my registration, the front desk helped me call taxis every day. A special thanks to Ismigul and Amin, who spoke perfect English and were incredibly helpful, calling countless taxis for me daily 🚗. For anyone visiting Samarkand, don't hesitate to pick this hotel. The breakfast was also excellent, with make-your-own waffles that my son devoured every morning. They even gave me a discount on my massage. Overall, this hotel made our trip complete.

The hotel is perfectly located, a 15-minute walk from Registan Square. It's very clean, the bed is comfortable, and the towels are crisp white. The breakfast is quite good, and the coffee machine was a plus, along with fruit and vegetables. I recommend it.

I was very pleased with my stay at this hotel. All my expectations were fully met. The staff were polite and attentive; you feel their welcoming attitude towards guests from the very first moment. The room was clean and cozy, with everything you need. I especially want to highlight the very convenient location of the hotel, making it easy to get to the city's main attractions. A big plus is the sauna and swimming pool. After walking around the city, it was especially nice to relax in the hotel's spa area in the evening. This added even more comfort to my vacation. Overall, it's a very pleasant and charming hotel. I only have good impressions. I highly recommend it.

We booked the rooms through Trip.com and paid in advance. We also confirmed the booking by calling the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at 12:00 PM, left our luggage, went out to the city, and returned around 5:00 PM. Check-in time was 3:00 PM, but even two hours later, our room still wasn't ready. The front desk staff struggled to provide information, and it was very difficult to get any updates from them. After repeated requests and waiting for an hour to an hour and a half, we finally got our rooms. Frankly, such a situation is unacceptable for an international brand hotel like this. We specifically chose Hilton to avoid these kinds of 'surprises.' It's worth noting that the rooms themselves were clean and comfortable. The hotel's location is also excellent.

Wonderful hotel! Located on the enclosed grounds of the Expo Center, with beautiful canal views and excellent breakfasts. 10/10 for value for money.

Residing in the hotel 2 nights, enjoyed the service on the recipes and breakfast, all very kind) the hotel itself is very cozy and beautiful! The interior courtyard is very nice, from the room with the view on the garden you can see the Bibi-Khanum Mosque) Location is good, Near Registant Square) a little did not meet expectations of a range of food on breakfast, it was quite humble (compared to hotel 3* in Tashkent, there were eyes running), but hungry , of course not staying)

I had a pleasant stay at Meridian Plaza Hotel. The location, facilities, and overall amenities were excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, there were a few housekeeping issues that could be improved. On one occasion, the trash in the bathroom was not emptied during room cleaning, and a cleaning cloth was accidentally left hanging on the door handle after housekeeping service. While these were minor issues, paying closer attention to housekeeping details would make the guest experience even better. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would consider staying here again.
