From the moment we walked in we knew we made a good decision. The owner (or manager) made us feel at home, and we felt welcome.
This is a wonderful hotel, a budget rate for a good mid-range. The rooms are good size and comfortable, and very aesthetic, with a lot of thought put in. In fact, the whole hotel, especially the kitchen and eating area, is a small museum, with some really interesting items.
The location can't be better, 15-20 minutes from both the Registan and the bazaar. The neighborhood (the old Jewish area) is quiet, with a decent grocery store nearby.
All in all a very good opinion, which we highly recommend.
This hotel boasts an excellent location right next to a park. You can take a pleasant walk through the park to reach Tamerlane's Mausoleum and Registan Square. The hotel itself is lovely, featuring a gym and a good breakfast; we even got different options on our two mornings. There are several restaurants in the surrounding blocks, and about a kilometer away, you'll find banks for currency exchange, although the rates aren't the best.
We were thoroughly satisfied with our stay at this hotel. Upon arrival, the front desk manager kindly upgraded our room to a suite in celebration of my wife's upcoming birthday—a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for our visit. The suite, featuring a separate bedroom and living room, was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained.
Breakfast was delicious, offering a wide range of continental options. While I would have appreciated more local dishes, the variety and quality were excellent. Both the reception and dining staff were friendly, attentive, and eager to assist. The SPA area and swimming pool were spacious, clean, and designed to offer plenty of privacy, even when other guests were present.
Tip: About 100 meters to the left of the hotel, there’s a fantastic local BBQ restaurant with affordable, tasty food.
A heartfelt thanks to the hotel management and staff for the upgrade and making our stay truly memorable.
We stayed on the 16th floor and the view was amazing. AC truly kept us cool during summer heat. Breakfast buffet had varieties of Uzbek food. Overall, we had a great stay.
We absolutely loved this hotel. It's location is great and the staff are amazing especially the front desk. There is no lift but the reception staff helped us with the bags. We paid for a more premium room but it was on level 3 so we asked to be changed to room on a lower level and it was great. The Georgian restaurant inside the hotel is amazing. The food is great and the staff were amazing. Will definitely stay there again.
It is not up to a 5 star level for the below reasons
1) the facility looks new from the outside and superficially it is grand but the details reveal that this hotel is subpar, for example the gym facilities, the elevators, etc… looks like a standard holiday inn
2) the staff barely speak English and when you ask them something the attitude is mostly cold and unwelcoming, not helpful at all
3) the room facilities didn’t work most of the time, for example the shower buttons, the phone or the aircon
4) the breakfast selection is minimalist, with v limited varieties
5) the location is far from city center
A nice, clean hotel, thank you!
I checked in late in the evening. I was greeted and shown around. The young man at reception was very pleasant. He explained everything and showed me places to visit. The Shahi Zinda complex is right across the street from the hotel, and the market and Bibi Khanym Mosque are nearby.
The hotel has a simple, pleasant design. I recommend it!
Excellent location, generous service, and authentic charm near Registan.
We stayed at Shahram Plus SH for one night, with a short extension, and had a wonderful experience.
The location is excellent. It is in a quiet local neighborhood, just a short walking distance from Registan Square, the mausoleums, and the nearby bazaar. It feels peaceful and authentic while still being very convenient for sightseeing.
The courtyard is beautiful and traditional, with a charming and authentic design that reflects the local culture. Our room was very large and spacious, easily accommodating three guests. It was beautifully decorated, well heated, and also equipped with air conditioning. There were plenty of outlets for charging devices, which is always appreciated while traveling.
The bathroom was spacious and included a large bathtub and a western-style toilet. Free drinking water is available in the basement kitchen area, though guests need to bring their own bottles or cups.
One thing we especially appreciated was the generosity of the staff. We explained that we had booked a night train departing after midnight and asked if a later check-out would be possible. They kindly offered us a much later check-out so we could relax and freshen up before heading to the station. We truly appreciated this flexibility. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly throughout our stay and treated us like part of their family.
Breakfast was also very good. The dishes were local, freshly made, filling, and delicious.
A couple small notes for future guests: the toilet paper may not meet Western European standards, so you may wish to be prepared. Also, the beds are quite firm. If you are a side sleeper, the firmness may take some adjustment.
Aside from these minor points, the rest of our stay was excellent. We highly recommend this hotel for its location, authentic atmosphere, and the incredible service from the entire staff.
The hotel is pretty good. The breakfast is okay, they make porridge. After Samarkand pilaf and manti, porridge in the morning is just perfect. The only downside is the soundproofing. The handle in the bathroom was broken, but we didn't complain, but since they clean it every day, we think they know. And the windows are very drafty. If it's hot outside, I don't think it's a problem. We stayed in November, when it was 0 degrees and windy, and we really felt it. But overall, we recommend the hotel.
Great

GGuest UserGreat location, but this hotel was a bit of a weird experience. We stayed for one night. It was fine for one night. I felt more like I was staying at a hotel than at my aunt's, who wasn't very friendly and was a bit arrogant for no apparent reason. The atmosphere was just right, a hint of cool, but very bourgeois. There were no lamps or switches near the bed; you had to go to the door, turn off the light, and then return to bed in pitch darkness. Breakfast was edible, but it was in the basement. It was very cold there. The coffee wasn't tasty, the pancakes were excellent, but the tablecloths were really dirty. Overall, it was okay to spend the night; it wasn't exactly bad, but I'd advise the owners of this hotel to stay at other hotels to understand how things work and apply them to their own.
BBaadthe front desks were very friendly and helpful. As a female solo traveller I felt very safe and secured throughout my stay. as I arrived before the check in time, I wanted to leave my luggage at the hotel and proceed with sightseeing and was offered if I would like to partake on an 'excursion' to help the students who will be future tourists guides experience and how they may improve. there were no extra costs incurred and we only need to pay for the entrance fee to the tourist attraction. it was a great experience for me as they were all very accommodating and cheerful.

KKevin-SchmidtReally enjoyed my stay here. The location is great, just about a 10-minute walk to Registan, with a few restaurants and stores nearby. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even helping us get things delivered that we couldn't find on Yandex. They have cold beer available as well, which is a really great bonus in a place like Uzbekistan. Their sauna and cold pool were lovely and clean and an amazing way to detox the body during the hot summer days. Will definitely return to stay here on my next trip to Samarkand!!
LLuoleibinA good choice, but the hotel didn't remind me to check in 2 hours early and I had to pay $40! **** didn't say a word, ”Wait a minute, now it's double the price.” Just take the money and stop talking. Speechless 😓, the breakfast is really great, I have to say more about the good stuff.

MMike IgWe stayed at this hotel for a few days as a couple and had a pleasant experience. The hotel is new, modern, and comfortable. Although it’s located a bit outside the city center (around 15 minutes by taxi, costing about 30,000 UZS), the area around it is quite charming – a newly developed park zone with music fountains, restaurants, photo spots, a water park, and canals. The staff were always friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was varied and enjoyable. Overall, a nice and comfortable place to stay.
