Hotel Grand Samarkand Superior - A

we really enjoyed our short stay in this hotel. Staff was great (really enjoyed Umar at the front desk...but others were also great). Our room was nice and breakfast was really good. Location was also quite good and central to the city. I'd definitely plan to stay here again if traveling through Samarkand.

Nice local styled hotel, a bit old fashioned, with a sister hotel with the same name opposite. It has three levels with no lift. There is an indoor courtyard that some of the rooms face into. The rooms are a reasonable size with a couple of chairs. As a single I had a double bed. The bathroom has a walk in shower with no bath. There is good water pressure & plenty of hot water. There is Airconditioning in each room. There is a pool on the top floor and a sauna in the basement. The TV has a couple of English speaking news channels. There is free wifi which is stable but a little slow. Breakfast was included which had a good choice of hot & cold dishes. The staff are friendly and helpful. It would be a long walk to downtown but taxis are cheap. Nothing grand but all up a pleasant stay.

This is a wonderful hotel! Very clean, in the room you will find everything you need: coffee, tea, sugar, water. You have a bathrobe and the whole set of hotel cosmetics in the bathroom. Even though I stayed on the 2nd floor, the room is spacious and bright. Breakfast is good and can be served in the inner courtyard which is an oasis of beauty. The staff is very friendly and smiling! You feel like a family! I recommend this hotel!

A really lovely hotel, friendly helpful staff, great gym, comfortable room. Would recommend

Busy tour group hotel that was much less than expected in many ways Despite us being told you could walk to town It’s quite a way the centre of town and you will need taxis everywhere, esp if it is hot The rooms are comfortable but we were given an inside room with windows opening into the enclosed inner atrium so that it was very dark and the noise from the bus tour group guests talking in the atrium reverberated around and it was very loud. Others had rooms facing the outside which had more light but our friends, at least, were blighted with heavy cigarette smoke from the adjacent rooms despite them all being no smoking. The advertised restaurant was closed for guests except for the nights German tour groups were catered for. We other guests have to eat elsewhere. Fortunately two good ones were nearby and easy to walk to Breakfast is a disaster on tour group days ( most days) with food not replaced and very sp**** offerings if you arrive after the gannets at about 8.15. Instant coffee only unlike the other, cheaper, hotels we stayed in on the trip. No ATM or money change , as advertised, but ATMs nearby The swimming pool is freezing cold and the sauna needs to be booked the day before do it can be heated up All in all a big disappointment for us

Lovely looking hotel with attractive courtyard and decor. Not well located but taxis to attractions are incredibly cheap , $1 to town, $2 to station . Rooms are lovely and beds super comfy , good aircon, WiFi a bit hit and miss. Very nice , and cheap, bar, beer $2 ,large vodka $1 . Breakfast restaurant is small but adequate for small hotel, lots of choice and items quickly replenished. Great coffee service, even if the coffee isn’t so good. Staff are so helpful. Bank within walking distance ( change as much as you can when you can as changing money is not easy generally ). There are no lifts over the 3 floors but no real problem and staff quickly sort luggage. Really enjoyed this hotel , would highly recommend.

This hotel is split in two sites on opposite sides of the road. My room overlooked the interior courtyard and was lovely albeit dark. The rooftop pool was closed during our stay sadly but I was able to use the indoor pool in the basement – which was intimate and private. I was left undisturbed! Staff were very friendly and the wi-fi was good.

Internet connection complicated and bad. No food during the day. Only breakfast
