4-Star Hotels in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

"The hotel's location isn't right in the city center, but it's relatively close to the Samarkand railway station. Taking a taxi to attractions like Registan Square or Shah-i-Zinda takes only about ten minutes, so sightseeing is completely unaffected. The room is indeed small and a bit cramped, but it feels more comfortable than the photos on the booking page suggest—no disappointing ”photoshop vs. reality” gap. The shower water pressure is great, and the mattress has a nice firmness, making for a good night's sleep. Breakfast is average—filling, but nothing special. I was initially worried the room would be a letdown, but the actual experience exceeded expectations. Good value for money, and I would recommend it to travelers with a similar budget."

"The front desk staff spoke excellent English. We were a party of three and booked a twin room and a king room, which were conveniently located on the same floor – that was great. The hotel is located outside the city center, but it's not too far, and getting a taxi is very affordable. It's wonderfully quiet at night. The hotel also offers complimentary massages. There's a small scenic area nearby with Central Asian Islamic architecture, which is newly renovated and much better maintained than some of the older, less-kept attractions in the city center. The restaurants within this scenic area serve delicious food, though they are a bit on the pricier side for this city."

"Friendly and helpful staff. Reception helps us contact taxi and give suggestions for restaurant. Bedroom and bathroom all clean. Comfortable bed and pillow. Hotel walkable to restaurants and convenient store. Variety of breakfast and delicious too."

"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."

"This hotel was a pleasant surprise on my Central Asian trip. I hadn't been able to find a room for a three-night stay before, but I booked it immediately once one became available. The hotel has a fresh, clean style, and the service team, from the friendly front desk staff to the restaurant servers and cleaning ladies, were all incredibly warm and proactive. Everything was just perfect! 👍👍👍"

"Stayed here for 3 nights, the reception is really helpful and friendly. The room was huge, beds are comfy & breakfast spread was nice. There’s a small incident where when I checked in I asked the reception how do I use the laundry service, and he gave me wrong information which ended up they didn’t do my laundry and I was out of clean clothes. I called the reception at 7pm (the laundry is closed) and they quickly send someone to collect the laundry from me & send it back to me, cleaned the next morning at 8am. But actually the laundry service is only available 10am-6pm. Glad that they took a swift action on this matter!"

"Прекрасный отель, комфортный для поездки в Самарканд. Люди работают замечательные! Ни одна ваша просьба не останется без внимания. Оснащение номеров суперское. Если вы забыли взять зубную щетку с собой, не переживайте, она вас будет ждать в номере. Продумано все до мелочей. Интерьер шикарный, роскошный! После завтрака голодным никто не остался. Выбор большой! Этот отель добавит теплых впечатлений к вашему отдыху или деловой поездки в Самарканд! Однозначно рекомендую!"

"My friend and I stayed at the Iskandar Hotel in Samarkand, and overall, it left a very pleasant impression. The hotel is new, clean, and cozy. The rooms are compact, but very nicely and stylishly decorated. I must make a special mention of the paintings and the tiles in the bathroom—you can really feel the national character of Samarkand and Uzbekistan; everything is done with great taste. On the downside, the shower drain didn't work very well, although the water didn't overflow onto the bathroom floor. Also, some kind of pump or other equipment would occasionally turn on during the day—about every 20 minutes. It was a bit noisy, but at night it was very quiet, as our windows faced the courtyard. The courtyard itself is nice and features a photo zone where you can take some great pictures. I also want to highlight the spa area, which has a large pool and a jacuzzi. Unfortunately, the sauna and hammam were not working. During the day, spa access costs 500,000 UZS per hour, and you can only use the area for free from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This was a bit confusing and disappointing, as we really wanted to relax in the spa during the day between our travels. Overall, it's a good, modern, and beautiful hotel with a pleasant atmosphere. Breakfast was quite decent. If they fix the shower drainage issue and make the spa area more accessible for guests, the experience would be almost perfect. The hotel left us with good impressions, but certain aspects of guest management could use some improvement."

"I stayed here alone and had a very pleasant stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location is a little far from the city center, so you will probably need to use Yandex to get around. One thing to keep in mind is that it can be difficult to find a Yandex taxi early in the morning. I recommend asking the front desk to arrange a taxi in advance. I paid 80,000 som from the hotel to the train station. Also, the hotel does not have a currency exchange service. The nearest option is the Hilton Regency across the street, but it takes around 30 minutes to walk there. One small thing to note is that there was no toothbrush in the room, so I had to ask the front desk for one. Overall, I had a comfortable stay and would recommend this hotel, especially if you don’t mind using taxis to get around."

"Location: Just a 10-minute walk to Registan Square, making it the perfect base for sightseeing in Samarkand. Being located on a main street also made it easy to call YandexGO. Room Amenities: The room included a refrigerator with a freezer compartment, bathrobes, complimentary bottled water, and disposable slippers. However, there were no tissues or hair conditioner. The towels and bathrobes felt stiff, suggesting they had been used for a long time. The bath towel was fine, but I was concerned about rust-like stains on the face towel. While there was a lidded trash can in the toilet, the absence of one in the room was inconvenient. Breakfast: The buffet-style breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious items. Hospitality: The staff were pleasant, and there was a server at the front desk offering pomegranate juice (?), creating a relaxing atmosphere. (Attached is a photo of the front desk). Other: The hotel has two floors and only stairs, no elevator. Although the staff helped carry my suitcase during check-in, the stairs make it unsuitable for guests with mobility issues. For stay registration (registration/регистрация), I asked the front desk and received a printed paper. Summary: This is a great hotel located in the heart of the Old City. It would be perfect if they added tissues and a trash can to the rooms and replaced the old towels."
