Samarkand Hotels with Breakfast

Although taxis can't pull right up to the hotel entrance, they can get very close, so it's not inconvenient at all. It's about a 5-minute walk to Registan Square, making it a very convenient hotel for sightseeing. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, including some delicious vegetable options like eggplant and cauliflower that I hadn't seen elsewhere.

Pros… * Location: 15 mins walkable distance to Registan square and a couple other attractions * Breakfast: a great variety of options ~ hot & cold + few options of fruits and pastries / desserts * Room: it was ok apart from the AC… which was dripping water once turned on.. hot water available for shower which was great! Beddings were good, a fridge, iron board, iron, a keep safe box, bath robes, 2 bottles of water available in room. Amenities: hairdryer, towels, shower gel, shampoo, hand wash, tooth brush, tooth paste and cotton buds were provided Cons… * Breakfast: starts at 8am and ends at 10am. It starts kind of late especially when some people of early start * Fitness center: only cardio machine available. Lights are never on, AC not on… also starts 8-8pm just really isn’t ideal timing especially during summer where people may wanna use the gym first thing before they have breakfast/ explore then come back for the gym.. hence I never got chance to use at all… it also looks like it’s never open… it gives a very off putting vibe. The swimming pool looks nice though.

A very cozy, small hostel set up in a private house. It's located in the historic part of the city, very close to the main attractions, which are easily reachable on foot in 5-10 minutes. The atmosphere is homely, and the furniture and renovation are new, yet the design incorporates retro-style decorative items, which gives the hostel even more authenticity and emphasizes the home-like feel. The room itself is designed for guests and has its own bathroom. The hostel owners are very friendly and hospitable people. There's also a very cozy courtyard with a gazebo on the premises, perfect for spending time. Overall, my impressions of the hostel are positive; as I mentioned before, the setting is very home-like, as if I wasn't at a hostel, but rather visiting friends or relatives.

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.

I had a great overall stay at Caravan Serail Hotel. The food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent, welcoming service. The location is also fantastic, putting you perfectly situated near the main attractions in Samarkand. There are just a couple of things to keep in mind. The tourist tax charged was quite high, and the experience would be even better if the hotel provided more adequate room amenities. Despite those minor points, it remains a very convenient and pleasant base for exploring the city.

The hotel is clean and well-maintained. We had porridge or an omelet for breakfast, and they served real coffee and tea, not instant. As a coffee lover, I was happy to find I could get coffee at any time. The staff were responsive and helpful. The location is about a 50-minute leisurely walk to Registan. My wife and I walked there. Taxis are also an option, costing around 150-200 rubles. For lunch, I recommend ”Plov Center” in the city center, about 300 meters from the square. For dinner, try ”U Fedya (Fedoild)” cafe, a 10-minute walk from the hotel. I recommend this hotel.

Pros: 1. The location is excellent, just a few steps from Registan Square – incredibly convenient! 2. The room size is reasonable, and the facilities are great. There are hot and cold water dispensers on each floor, which is very handy. The room also has a small fridge, perfect for keeping drinks cold in the summer. 3. Downstairs is the hotel's own highly-rated restaurant, and there are two other restaurants nearby, making dining incredibly convenient. There are also small shops around for buying drinks and snacks. 4. As mentioned above, since the hotel has its own restaurant, the breakfast quality goes without saying. 5. The price is reasonable; I stayed in a single room for three nights for just over 500. Cons: The room seemed to have been recently painted, as there were a few drops of paint on the windowsill and mirror.

The hotel is located in the old city's residential area, making it easy to walk to the Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis and Registan Square. The location is excellent. However, I'm not sure if it was a system issue or something else, but when we arrived, our booked room wasn't available. We had to stay on the first floor for the first night and then move to the second floor for the second night, which was quite inconvenient. The hotel breakfast was just average. There's a three-generation naan bakery right outside the hotel, and their naan is absolutely delicious.

Beautiful hotel with a wine cellar downstairs, conveniently located 12 minutes' walk from the train station. However, it's a 20-minute taxi ride to the city center. On the downside: it was cold! There was no heating in the room, and we froze at night! (It was 10 degrees Celsius outside, so naturally, it was cold inside too). Our room faced the road, and the noise insulation was terrible! We could hear everything from the street and the corridor! There was a cigarette smell in the room! It seemed like someone had been smoking, and despite airing it out, the smell wouldn't go away! We asked to change rooms but were refused, told there were no other rooms available! Very unpleasant! We did extend our stay by 6 hours for half the price, which was a plus. Pros: The room had everything advertised, including a bathrobe – though only one, even though I booked for two people. The shower was broken; both showerheads (the rain shower too) seemed clogged, and water came out from the side on both, making it very inconvenient to shower. There were only two pillows; four would have been better. Other pros: Decent breakfast with coffee from a machine. The hotel is beautiful, and the rooms are clean and cozy. There's an ironing board and iron in the hallway. The beds are comfortable.

This hotel is owned by Chinese proprietors, and its decor features a beautiful traditional Chinese style. It's incredibly quiet, and the breakfast spread is generous. The surrounding area is lovely, making it perfect for family travelers. Highly recommended!
