5-Star Hotels in Samarqand, Uzbekistan

This hotel is the most unsatisfactory hotel in my trip to Central Asia. As for the facilities, they have just been updated and to be honest, they are OK. The color temperature of the light is inappropriate, it's almost like the color of a public housing, which makes people feel very low. The room is not big, and the thing I am most dissatisfied with is that the shower water cycles between hot and cold. Another thing to complain about is the breakfast. It was off-season when we went, so it's understandable that there were fewer varieties. But all the apples are rotten, which I don’t understand. The fried egg was too salty and hard to swallow, it tasted terrible. Speaking of advantages, the bedding is good and I slept very comfortably. The hotel staff has a very good attitude. The location of the hotel is good, but compared with the room rate, it is not worth it. I don't know why it ranks first among luxury hotels. It's really too watery. The old city restaurant opposite is pretty good. I didn't try the hotel restaurant. The breakfast was so bad, and I don't think the dinner would be good either.

Great 3 nights stay at Movenpick hotel with all amenities. Very convenient and close to the Gour Emir monument (4/5mn by walk) and the Registan square (15/16mn). A lot of cafe and restaurants around the hotel as we didn’t book the hotel breakfast. As we are lazy to dine out, we enjoyed twice diners at the restaurant Caramelle (really juicy manti and tasteful somsa & soups) We tried the sauna (hammam was under reparation) and the fitness. We had pleasant drinks at the pool bar. So we can recommend the Movenpick hotel at Samarkand. And the room rates are very affordable for a 4,5/5* hotel.

Excellent hotel. The rooms and public areas are impeccable. It is felt that great attention to detail is paid here: fresh linen, daily cleaning. Even the busiest corners of the hotel, for example, in the restaurant or by the pool, are tidy. We were greeted warmly, helped with luggage and quickly checked in. The reception staff are always ready to suggest a route, order a taxi. The SPA includes a hamam, sauna, pool, and many procedures to relax. The pool is open until 23:00, spa procedures are by prior reservation, the gym is open 24/7. The hotel is located on the embankment of the rowing canal, the city center is 20 minutes by taxi.

The hotel is of a high level of comfort - the room, breakfast, everything is great, worth the money! There are some shortcomings that should be corrected - the waiters in the lobby do not know the menu, they mix up the dishes. There is a large area around, they could organize scooter and bicycle rental as an option for leisure for guests. There is not enough transfer at least to the eternal city, to the fountain - you have to call a taxi every time.
