Find 3-Star Hotels in Samarkand

Nifal is a great new hotel. I spent 3 nights there. What you see in the pictures, is what you get, even better once you see it in person. Amazingly clean, tastefully decorated, high ceiling, two bottles of water, toothbrush, sleepers, and best of all, you’re asked to take your shoes off and place it on a shoe rack by the room. How cool is that? (speaking of cleanliness) Farrux at the front desk speaks English well, very kind and helpful young man. Breakfast is plenty full and individually served at a desire time. Kitchen staff greets you with a smile every morning. Hotel is about 10-15 minutes walk from the popular tourist attraction. Couple of restaurants close by with their specialty kebab (chicken, lamb and beef), they also serve beer and wine.

We stayed at this hotel during our trip to Samarkand and were very satisfied. The hotel is located a bit outside the city center, about a 20-minute drive away. For travelers with a car, this is actually convenient, especially since there's private parking available on-site. The staff deserves a special mention. All employees are very polite, friendly, and always ready to help or answer any questions. A nice touch is the pitcher of cool water with ice and fruit always available at the reception, which is particularly refreshing after walking around hot Samarkand. The rooms are clean, bright, and cozy, with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the large, snow-white bath towels, soft bathrobes, quality disposable slippers, and good toothbrushes – such small details make the stay even more comfortable. The bedding deserves special mention: a very comfortable mattress, a soft fluffy blanket, and excellent pillows, thanks to which we slept wonderfully. Room cleaning and towel changes are done daily. Breakfasts also left a pleasant impression: delicious, varied, and with a good selection of dishes. The only suggestion would be if guests were informed during breakfast that freshly prepared omelets could be ordered. We only found out on the third day, and the omelet turned out to be very tasty. Overall, this is an excellent hotel with a high level of service. If you're traveling by car or don't mind not being in the very city center, I can confidently recommend this place.

This stay was absolutely fantastic! I made a mistake with my booking, but the hotel staff were incredibly patient and helped me sort everything out. They were all super friendly, helped with our luggage, and provided exceptional service. The entire hotel was spotless and very comfortable. We woke up a bit late and worried we'd miss breakfast, but it turned out the hotel offered à la carte Western breakfast and freshly ground coffee, which tasted great, and the service was really thoughtful. The location is also super convenient, very close to the train station, making getting around a breeze. I chose this place specifically because I didn't want to stay near the necropolis area; it's about 5km from the attractions, and getting a taxi was very easy. Throughout my stay, I really felt the warmth and hospitality of the people of Uzbekistan. My accommodation experience was perfect, I highly recommend it, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time!

I booked a double room. Initially, the aircon in the room was ok. However, late at night, it wasn't cold anymore. The day temperature this time if the year is 39C. Told the hotel the problem. They couldn't fix the aircon and offered to change room for me. First, was a smaller room with twin beds. They say will join the beds for me. I didn't want and insisted on a double bed. But they told me I have to pay another UZS20,000. Though its cheap but I refused because of the principle. I already paid for a double room which is bigger than what they offered. I then decided to take the twin room and not pay extra. Writing this review to let others know.

The hotel is conveniently located within a 20-30 minute walk to major downtown attractions, and there are shops within a 5-minute walk. The hotel and rooms are clean, and the atmosphere is pleasant. The buffet breakfast is also delicious. There was a power outage from evening until morning, but the staff provided support by charging devices like chargers from a backup power source.

Great hotel with a delicious and filling breakfast. The front desk staff are always fantastic at answering any questions, from where to go and how to get there, to where to have dinner – they know everything! We really enjoyed our stay, thank you! ☀️

For me, Hotel Al-Bukhory was a absolute highlight of my trip to Samarkand. First of all, the room was extremely spacious with no sense of confinement, and the in-room amenities were very new and clean. The hotel's location is within walking distance of major attractions like Registan Square, with convenience stores and supermarkets nearby. The breakfast offered a rich variety of dishes. The overall design of the hotel is also very comfortable, featuring a courtyard-style layout which is quite convenient for smokers, and a great spot to relax on the courtyard sofa with a cup of tea after a long day of sightseeing. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly, warm, and hospitable. Without exaggeration, this is the first time I have encountered such wonderful staff across all the hotels I've stayed at in so many countries, to the point of being quite touching. In the evenings, I often drank tea and chatted with the staff, learning about the locals' way of life, which added so much excitement to my trip. I strongly, strongly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Samarkand!

The hotel itself is nice. It’s in a quiet location with decent facilities. However,our room is just fair size.The breakfast was healthy with good variety, and the staff (especially the young lady serving) spoke excellent English. We enjoyed our 3-night stay until checkout. When we asked for the required proof of accommodation to leave the country, the staff told us there was a customs registration issue on our entry (which I later confirmed was false). Despite them pretending to try and fix it, we left empty-handed. Because of this delay, we missed our pre-booked coach to Bukhara and lost UZS 585,000 in total (UZS 195,000 per ticket for three people). Every other hotel we stayed at in Tashkent and Bukhara provided the E-Mehmon registration without delay. I really don't understand why this hotel makes a routine procedure such a huge technical problem. It was their mistake which caused our financial and time loss.

First of all, although it's called a hotel, it's actually a guesthouse. I couldn't figure out how to open the entrance door, so I tried entering my reservation number and confirmation number into the keypad on the front of the door, but it kept giving me errors. After thinking about it for a while, I noticed another silver button. This seemed to be the intercom. When I pressed it, a ringing sound continued, and after a while, the door opened. Also, a person who seemed to be the hotel manager appeared from the road behind the door. The cleanliness of the room was not a problem. As for amenities, there were no towels, so I used the ones I brought with me, but I wish they had provided them beforehand. I'm sure they would have provided them if I had asked, but that was something that bothered me. The bathroom is a unit bath with a bathtub. There is a curtain partition between the bathtub and the sink, but honestly, it's not much of a relief. The sink gets soaking wet after showering. Since it's a guesthouse, it's not one room per person, and you may end up sharing a room with a stranger. I shared a room with a man from Sweden. Also, there seems to be a keyhole on the room door, but you won't be given a key. Anyone can easily enter. Take all your valuables with you when you go out. Also, Japanese people seem to be a novelty there. There's a courtyard with several chairs and tables. It seems cats live there, and sometimes they sleep on the chairs. Check-out is also confusing; there's no one there at 7 or 8 in the morning. People start to wake up after 10. In my case, a child who seemed to be the manager's (probably not even 10 years old) handled the check-out process. Finally, the location isn't too bad; it's a 30-40 minute walk from Registan Square and the Gur-e Amir Mausoleum.

The room was nice and stuff of the hotel was good but even after i told in the reception to clean my room they didn’t do it. So not recommended for people who want neat and clean.
