The 50 best hotels in Samarkand

Great experience staying at this hotel for 4 nights. The hotel property is modern, well maintained, clean with a great garden view from the room. Good variety at the breakfast spread. Most importantly, the service was great and welcoming. From the hotel manager who was very accommodating to the employees who made us feel welcomed. We also arranged a few car transfers at wee hours and the service was very reliable. Highly recommended!

Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, Hotel Dilimah will ensure you have a remarkable and enjoyable stay. I can't wait for the opportunity to return and experience their hospitality once again.

I had a lovely stay here. The bed was super comfortable and the room had everything I needed. The lobby area is the main focus though. It is so thoughtfully curated. It's a stunning place. I'd come back!

The first really truly plump comfortable beds since leaving the UK. The rooms were homely and the hotel had a central atrium with seats and garden area. I would recommend this hotel for it's unique style and home comforts that you will truly appreciate coming to the end of your Silk Road journey where the beds are almost solid wood and no concept of what enables a good night's sleep. This hotel seems to truly get what travellers need at the end of a days exploring.

Wow wow wow ! Great amazing and just wonderful ! This hotel is really an example for a hilton. We were impressed! The welcome of the reception and also a manager (I thing guest services) was so good ! I forgot his name unfortunately:( But he was really professional and amazing ! The rooms, breakfast, amenities are just perfect. This hotel is a bit further from the center but 100% worth it. Also we did not have the best food experience in Samarkand but ended up eating in the hotel. Im not a hotel diner usually but it was wonderful. The skybar is also a must. Also as a diamond member you can enter the executive lounge that is also exceding my expectations. I thought the hotel is a week old but apparently its a few years old already. Everything looked like first time used? What can be improved ? Nothing !

My recent stay (2nd week of April, 2025) at the Hilton Garden Inn Samarkand Hotel, during my journey from Samarkand to Bukhara, was truly a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the hotel GM - Mr. Fariz Samadov, at the entrance and greeted with such kindness and genuine hospitality. The room was spotless, cozy, and offered a view we’ll be dreaming about for a long time. Every detail—from the warm and friendly hospitality to the thoughtful local recommendations—made our stay feel incredibly special. A heartfelt thank-you to the GM and His Team for making us feel so at home. We look forward to returning soon!

This is absolute heaven for travellers with high demands - quality of furniture, smart set up, top quality of bed, linen and pillows. Additionally, what usually becomes an annoying part - too many switches in the shower - the shower system in this hotel is brilliant! It is two buttons - top shower head and a classic shower head. You know straight away where to press to get a water. Breakfasts are top as well. Especially omelette cooked by the chef. Big swimming-pool. Happy to discover a new 5-star hotel chain. P.S. One little thing can be improved. I asked to send a postcard at the receptio and was met by surprise by check-in desk people. Just letting you know it is a widespread practice around the world to send postcards from a visited city to family and friends. In almost everywhere I had this opportunity to just send a postcard from hotels. I hope this practice will be introduced in the hotel.

I started my one-day trip in Samarkand at the Silk Road Empire Hotel, and from the very beginning, I was greeted with warm, sincere service. The beautifully designed interior was a wonderful surprise that instantly lifted my spirits. After returning from sightseeing, I was offered a slice of fresh watermelon that washed away the day’s fatigue — and when they served a chilled glass of white wine on top of that, I was truly touched. The breakfast was excellent, and every staff member provided service that felt like a dream. Even after checkout, they kindly offered a free limousine ride to the train station — such generosity! Thank you, truly. The service was perfect in every way. Just one word for everything: thank you.

However, we stayed only for 02 nights but the kind of service & treatment we have got was absolutely incredible. Right fron their welcoming nature, room allocation, helping about the city information, and finally offering free station drop off when we have early morning 4 o'clock departure from Samarqand to Tashkent. Amazing people, nice rooms, good WiFi, and pretty good location, very nearby to all the attractions of Samarqand.

For me, it is highly recommended 👌 and it's one of my favourite locations in Samarkand away from the crowd, and it's in an open area where you can enjoy the morning 🌄 walk. Good services and staff are helpful. Swimming pool and spa are not available, but complimentary access is provided for guests in the nearby hotel ( Lia grand) . Will visit again 😊

Such a charming hotel. Only a short walk from Amir Timur Mausoleum, which is also visible from the rooftop terrace, the location is very convenient. The service was also excellent. My favourite thing was the courtyard. It’s the perfect spot to relax before a day of exploring the city.

Really well priced very modern hotel, air-conditioning is best I've experienced as most places couldn't cope with the 40c+ days we experienced. Showers were nice and hot with good pressure. Rooms were spacious and clean. The people at reception were very friendly and spoke very good English. It's on a quite side road so nothing major around, but shops are a short walk away and Yandex is cheap and accessible to all major spots.

One of the best hotels I have ever been to. The service was impeccable, every staff member is so kind and helpful in every possible way. They surprised us with anniversary cake which was such a lovely gesture. The location is super nice, peaceful and has a great walkable area around the canal which looks beautiful. Hotel is beautiful, rooms are clean and spacious. They even have their own brewery in the hotel. Superb atmosphere and service! 🤍😍✨

This hotel is in a quite and nice quarter. You have everything you need and feel comfortable. We enjoyed this hotel very much!!!

best hotel in town, very nice staff, great and clean rooms, friendly and smiling cleaning staff, good breakfasts, convenient location, swimming pool and spa, I recommend

Review for the restaurant - the service here is an amazing, the food is delicious. Nice atmosphere - live music. So good we went twice and all dishes were good. Best dinners we had in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Just go!!

Jahongir Guest House is located in an alleyway very close to the Registan Square in the Old Town of Samarkand. This makes it the perfect spot to explore the area at any time of the day. 
Also all other major sights can be reached easily by walking. Breakfast is served in a small room or in the courtyard in Uzbek style. It’s a buffet-style and choices are ample. The room was very clean with traditional decorations, which will make you feel cozy. The bathroom was quite small but sufficient to get ready every morning. Interaction with the host family was really nice and welcoming. Staying here is recommended.

Hotel Continental in Samarkand offers a comfortable and pleasant stay for travelers visiting this historic city. Beyond its elegant appearance, what truly stands out is the warm and courteous behavior of the staff. From check-in to checkout, the team ensures guests feel welcomed and well taken care of. The staff are professional, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile—whether it’s arranging transport, offering local tips, or handling special requests. Their polite and respectful attitude adds a personal touch to the stay, making guests feel at ease and valued. Overall, Hotel Continental is not just about comfort and location—it’s the genuine hospitality of the people working there that makes it a truly memorable experience.

We stayed at the Rabat Boutique for three nights in April. The room was spacious, very clean, and tidy. At the property, it's possible to enjoy the comfortable and quiet outdoor internal space. The property is located just a few minutes' walk from the Registan and has a convenient location. The staff is extremely helpful, friendly, and professional; they provided us with many useful tips and even helped us organize our transportation to the station when we departed. Furthermore, they were very accommodating in adjusting breakfast times according to the commitments we had scheduled for the different days. Breakfast is served in a beautiful historic room and is plentiful and of high quality. An extremely positive experience, for which we thank the owners, and the property is highly recommended. We hope to return soon!

A cosy budget boutique hotel close to Gur e Amir Mausoleum. Simple but very large rooms with a beautiful and tasteful theme. Charming staff and a great breakfast. Alas we were only here for one night which was a shame as would have liked longer. It's in a great location for wandering around the city and plenty of restaurants and parks nearby and not far at all from Rajestan square which is a pleasant stroll away.

Wonderful Stay at Wellness Park Hotel Bactria – A True Alternative to Antalya! We stayed at the Wellness Park Hotel Bactria in Samarkand as a group of six (4 adults and 2 children), and our experience was absolutely delightful. The hotel is beautifully designed, featuring spacious rooms and elegant furniture. Everything is tastefully furnished and offers a luxurious yet comfortable atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, always willing to fulfill our requests. For example, they helped organize a birthday cake, which made the day truly special. The entire Silk Road Samarkand complex is diverse and suitable for everyone. There’s a wellness and spa area, as well as outdoor and indoor pools, which made our stay even more enjoyable. All in all, we were extremely satisfied, and we are already planning our next visit. Compared to our original holiday plans in Antalya/Belek at 5-star resorts, Silk Road Samarkand easily keeps up – and in terms of value for money, it’s unbeatable. The only downside compared to Turkey is that Uzbekistan has no sea, but the fantastic facilities and the rich cultural experience more than make up for it. We truly believe the Silk Road Samarkand has great potential to attract more tourists in the near future – it’s certainly a hidden gem with a bright future.

We had a wonderful stay at Samaria hotel. The staff was helpful, answering all of our questions in a very friendly way, they all spoke good English. The room was spacious and clean, the bathroom had a big bathtub and was also clean. During breakfast we had different choices and everything was delicious, especially "les crêpes", and the terasse had a nice view. We enjoyed 1 hour of spa, the hammam was just what we needed after a day of walking. The placement of the hotel is perfect, the main attractions are in walking distance, you can find shops and restaurants near by too.

Nice Hotel. Very comfortable stay. Room was clean and bed comfortable. The elegant decor of the rooms and high-quality services are the prime attraction. The breakfast buffet was excellent quality with varied choices. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Special heartfelt thanks to Илёс for all his help and special attention. Thank you all so much for making my trip memorable!

We loved our stay here! The hotel is new but designed in a traditional Uzbek style. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The spa is beautiful and treatments affordable. Would absolutely come back!

The hotel I stayed at exceeded my expectations in terms of quality. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The overall ambiance of the hotel was elegant and inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere throughout my stay. One aspect that truly stood out was the exceptional service provided by the hotel staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a helpful attitude. The front desk staff were efficient, accommodating, and always willing to assist with any inquiries or requests. The housekeeping staff ensured that the rooms were kept spotless. felt well taken care of throughout my time at the hotel.The public spaces, such as the lobby, entire hotel and dining areas, were equally impressive and provided a comfortable and welcoming environment.Overall, it was a very great time. I will come back there for sure :)

Have stayed here for about two weeks and found the experience quite enjoyable. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was filling and included fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, and several hot dishes. The location is great for walking to numerous historic sites or Samarkand State University, or to many dining establishments. Would definitely stay here again

Staying at Arka was a 10/10 experience. I was travelling through Uzbekistan for the first time with a friend and in Samarkand we could have not found a better oasis to relax and reflect upon our trip. Where to begin… the first thing that struk us was its atmosphere, peaceful and calm yet right in the center of the city - close to the old town and also just a few doors away from the best shashlik we tried! The architecture comprises a beautiful and fresh indoor patio with views to the sky and is then surrounded by a series of stairs leading to all the rooms, carefully detailed with the renowned arches that give name to the hotel, Arka = Arches. Each room is then also tastefully decorated and equipped with high quality furniture as well as with AC. The personnel, including the owner himself, was not only available 24/7 but also super attentive, joyful and helpful with all of our curious questions - we thank you for this experience!!! Finally, cherry on top: the breakfast was DELICIOUS. An assortment of traditional food was prepared every morning with fresh local ingredients and delivered in a comfortable dining room, perfect way to start the day. I definitely recommend Arka to anyone who wishes to visit Samarkand and can only hope to return there soon myself!! 🫶

I enjoyed the breakfast and the evening buffet. The food variety was rich and I liked it pretty much. Nice rooms and the staff was kind, so was the receptionist.

The people there worked very hard to accommodate us and help arrange day trips that were fairly last minute. The breakfast buffet was one of the better ones in my three weeks in Uzbekistan. It is a bit further from centre, but still walkable and has the Alisher Navoi pedestrian street right next to it, so that helped a lot with many dining options even late into the eve. Rooms were spacious, the air-con worked well and the bathroom was really nice.

Situation close to historical sights...Samarakand... Hotel Asia Samarkand is a beautiful boutique hotel...the rooms are cozy and have everything you need ...the bedding is soft and pillows allow you to get a good rest..the breakfast served is delicious and fresh. It's not a buffet but a set menu. You can request more if you wish. The staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect location ....

I love this hotel. My choice was outstanding. Why? I was welcomed with a man who had a big and beautiful smile. His name is Almos. The view from my room is nice, too because there is a park in front of this hotel. The restaurants can be walked within 2~3 minutes. I don't want to mention the condition of the bed and bathroom. They are perfect! I totally recommend this hotel.

I would come back to stay here in a heartbeat, it was really one of the highlights of our time in Uzbekistan. The property is gorgeous at all hours of the day. The breakfast spread was great and we looked forward to it every day, especially with the stunning view of the mosque. But the manager Mansur went above and beyond for us. We accidentally left something valuable in our room, and months later as we were trying to figure out where on our trip we lost it, I called the hotel and Mansur sent me pictures of the item! I continued talking to him for another 2 months, and he was extremely patient while I figured out how to get them shipped back. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness, honesty, and patience. I will forever be a fan of the hotel and hope to be back someday!

Very good hotel. The rooms are clean, the receptionists are very kind, the breakfast is delicious and there is a great variety. The roof terrace has a wonderful view on Registan. In walking distance from the main attractions. Very good price and high value.

We stayed 4 nights at this fabulous family run hotel and wish we could have stayed more. We loved our stay. The owner and his family were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to help us in anyway they could. The owner speaks perfect English and gave us great advice on how to spend our time in not only Samarkand but also Tashkent. The air conditioning rooms were excellent, spacious with the most comfortable bed to sleep in! Breakfast was delicious and the perfect start to your day. The location was good with places to eat close by and only a short taxi ride to the main tourist attractions. We would highly recommend this hotel if visiting Samarkand and recommend you contact the owner regarding bookings rather than an agency, his quote is much more reasonable!

We had a very nice stay in Orient Star Hotel @ Samarkand. The people were very friendly and always helpfull. The hotel has very good rooms, nice new restaurant for breakfast, garden with large pool. Thank you !

Rooms were huge. We were 10 in our group and all could sit in one room and had our evening drinks. The location os great not very far from the train station. The service was excellent. My wife for got her cell phone at a restaurant we went for lunch. The hotel helped us calling the restaurant and arranging a taxi to go and get it.

We stayed a few nights in two separate rooms, as we took a trip out of Samarkand. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Few biscuits, tea and coffee throughout the day. The breakfast is delicious. The first room we stayed in had a great tiled bathroom, air con and firm beds. For our best stay, the beds were a bit too cushiony, there was no air con and the bathroom had a cheap plastic ‘box’ as a shower. Still perfectly good, but I think there is a lot of variation in the rooms!

Sabrina is more of a boutique hotel, which is a plus. It's run by a family who are friendly and helpful. The rooms are neat, aesthetic and have sufficient racks to arrange your stuff. They have a kitchen and dining area on the ground floor where a buffet breakfast is served. You can also have breakfast in the garden which has beautiful seating. We had to check out half an hour prior to the breakfast time on the last day of our stay. On requesting for an early breakfast, they were sweet enough to pack lunch boxes instead, sensing the hurry. The only downside is that there aren't many restaurants and tourist spots nearby. You'll need to take a cab mostly. However, the cabs are affordable. If one doesn't mind things not being at a walking distance, please go for it!

Location is right outside the Registan - convenient to visit in the morning before the crowds arrive. Hotel also has a rooftop terrace where you can drink complimentary tea / coffee while enjoying the view of the Registan. Hotel staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This place is a gem. Highly recommend!

The warm hospitality of the charming female owner was very comfortable. The open structure with a courtyard and the clean, adequate room facilities were satisfactory. The breakfast was a gently seasoned dish made with ingredients, and I was able to enjoy Uzbek home cooking to my heart's content. I had initially booked another hotel, but it was suddenly closed due to construction work, so I stayed at Dilshoda, which was very lucky. If I come to Samarkand again, I will stay here.

Such a nice hotel. Fairly new and very clean. Nice sized rooms and a decent breakfast spread. Also has a sauna, pool and steam room ! Careful when coming here if using yandexgo (local taxi app) as it doesn't have the correct location.

I stayed at this hostel while in Samarkand recently. It’s definitely not a modern hotel, but it’s charming nonetheless. There’s a really wonderful rooftop at the top where I sat and typed in the morning on two of the days I was there. At 8 AM there is a free breakfast, which was fairly tasty. The location is excellent as it’s less than 5 minutes away from Registan Square and everything else. The people at the front desk were also extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend if you want to stay in unique lodging.

The experience at this hotel was magnificent, the first day I came early before my check in time and they still served me breakfast and were so hospitable. It is family owned buisness, they are super friendly and helpful, sometimes they d offer tea, biscuts and fruits for Free, The breakfast was legendary, very balanced and very rich, fruits, eggs, tea, pudding, tradional milk and cake , sujuk and cheese and tradional bread, it was very satisfying and nutrutional. The place had good green space, 5 min from registan square, mosques and shops nearby. I liked the hotel room, simple with wooden decor, worth the price for private room. Overall great experience and defintly would recommend 10/10

Hotel Legende is a really charming hotel, with traditional decoration, a lovely and quiet courtyard shaded by an ancient mulberry tree, and excellent breakfast. Its best feature though is probably the staff: Aziz the owner is so friendly and extremely helpful with impeccable French and English. He went above and beyond to help us in a tricky situation and also help organise our onward journey. Rahim and all the other staff are a daily delight too. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the hotel is perfectly located to explore all of Samarkand!

Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Excellent breakfast every morning. The place was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The pool was a very large plus and the own an adorable puppy that runs around the yard and never barks! The bed took a night to get used to as it was VERY firm, but the hospitality made up it.

Beautiful hotel, nice terrace on the top and very nice rooms. The reception of the hotel sent a guy to pick us up from the train station, very kind of them, as well they organised on the day that we were leaving the hotel a transfer to the airport really early in the morning, that they even paid the taxi driver to take us there. They were very good and always ready to help, they even helped us arranging a rental car in Tashkent for the following day.

Very nice hotel and staff Behavior very good I love samarkand.from.Bangladesh

Uzbekistan is a country that you can look at from several aspects, and two are the most important - historically and through the people who live there. You can see and experience Uzbekistan by staying in luxury hotels and visiting famous historical places. Or you can experience Uzbekistan through the people. I was lucky enough to experience it both ways, and this is my story about the MAN and the owner of this small hotel, Mr. Timur. And let me clarify right away, at the very beginning - if you want to get to know Uzbekistan through the people, the way they live and what they really are, this is the place for you. Don't expect a high-tech room, but you will get everything you need - a comfortable bed, clean towels, simple wardrobe, proper air conditioning and a functional bathroom. But at the same time, you will get the hospitality of Mr. Timur and his wife, which is rarely seen today. You will meet hard-working and honest people, with a big heart, who will really go out of their way to meet your needs, even when no one expects or asks them to. You are not guests of this small family hotel, you are friends. In the true sense of the words, you become a part of the house, a temporary member of the family, and then you will discover Samarkand and all its secrets through a completely new prism, which, unfortunately, is denied to all those who come to take pictures of beautiful historical sights. Only when you meet the wholehearted people, will you be able to UNDERSTAND fascinating madrasas, mosques and mausoleums. Because only the beauty of human souls can build magnificent objects. Thanks to Mr. Timur and his family for opening my eyes again after many years, showing me what is actually worth experiencing first and what comes after.
