Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here for 10 nights. 4 nights room was not cleaned. Toilet not working had to remove cistern at top to flush toilet. Shower was barely a trickle of water. Lights not on at top of stairs,nearly broke my leg. Had to use mobile phone with torch to open door with key. Eventually moved to another room for 4 nights which was better but not much. Room not cleaned again for 2 nights. An absolute deplorable hotel.

朝食開始時間の7時、調理された料理3種（卵焼き、野菜炒め、ソーセージ）はバイキングコーナーに並んでいない。並んでいるのは、チーズやハム、パンなど調理不要の食材だけ。調理された料理3種が全て並べられたのは7時20分頃。 初日の朝、スタッフが寝坊したのかと思ったが、2日目の朝も同様だった。

The room is just okay but very dated. In three days there wasn’t anyone on the front desk to get information. I didn’t sign in or out of the hotel. I felt bad for the one woman who seemed in charge of breakfast, cleaning and making up of the rooms as it was just her and no support .

Nice staff shame about the hotel.

Booked it based on the fact it shows up as a short distance from the main sites in the city. Once we were there it was not. Anyways the www connection was atrocious from day one then the staff did all they could do to help. Very helpful staff though. Oh the beds were really hard. In hindsight you should book further out as taxis are so cheap. You can get better hotels. It’s a shame as the staff were amazing!

The hotel was a bit too run down and in need of some repair. The hallways were pitch-dark in the evening. The front doors were closed and locked when we returned from dinner. We had to get the nearby shop owner to send someone to let us in. We requested “breakfast to go” and documents ready, as we had an early train. We were given a bag of crackers and cookies for breakfast and had to depart without documents.

Не помешало бы сделать ремонт.

В номерах не помешал бы косметический ремонт. Постояльцев было мало, свет в коридорах был постоянно выключен, видимо экономили. Заявленный завтрак представлял собой сосиску и яичницу в номер утром, ресторан не работал.

I do not recommend this hotel!

Very unclean place. The bathroom had not bean cleaned for a long time, the toilet didn't work, we had to walk around to 4 rooms before finding a toilet that worked... all four bathrooms was dirty but in the end, since it vas 01.00 in the morning we just took the room with a working toilet... and slept with our clothes on. We left the next morning without breakfast.

施設や清潔さは値段相応なので問題はないが、チェックアウトと滞在証明書発行に40分かかり、それで電車に乗れなかったのに謝罪もない。 Because it took us 40 minutes to check out, we missed the train! However, they didn’t apologize to us!

친절한 아주머니 감사해요.

리셉션 아주머니가 굉장히 친절했고요, 전반적으로 조용한 분위기였습니다. 조식제공되긴 했는데 먹어보질 않아서 평가할 순 없네요. 한가지 흠은 내가 묵었던 방 잠금장치가 이상해서 카드키를 대고 몇번 손잡이를 흔들어야 문이 열린다는 정도? 다음에 또 가진 않을 것 같은데... 그래도 나쁘지 않은 경험이었습니다.

サマルカンド滞在期間中、4泊滞在しました。 ワインミュージアムのすぐ近くで、隣にスーパーがあるので便利です。 部屋は、他の方の書き込みを見て、若干構えて行きましたがそこまで悪くないかなと思いました。 ドライヤー、シャンプー、石鹸、歯ブラシ等だいたい揃っていました。 シャワーの水圧が弱いのが若干気になりましたが、宿のスタッフも親切でした。 宿の前の通りの99番のバスに乗ると、マーケットやシャーヒズィンダ、ウルグベクヘも行けるので便利です。 レギスタン広場やビール工場周辺の呑み屋街辺りまでは歩いて行けなくもないです。

Si vous voulez garder une crédibilité nous vous conseillons de supprimer cet hôtel de votre liste: clim fonctionnant de façon aléatoire par 44 degrés, douche bouchée, frigo inefficace, fuite de la douchette, petit déjeuner pitoyable, la gérante de l'hôtel était d'une agressivité peu commune et pour couronner le tout le dernier jour des écoles d'enfant dans tous les couloirs jouant avec les sonnettes et les portes jusqu'a 1h du matin. alors que notre hôtel a BOUKHARA (ville plus au Sud) était parfait...

Staff are friendly and helpful. The location is pretty good with a park nearby and many supermarkets. It's also possible to walk a distance to all the important sights in Samarkand from this hotel. That being said, the room's facilities are pretty faulty. The air conditioning did not work well. The hot water is non existent and I had to endure freezing cold water during my showers in the evening. The multi-USB charging port is an amazing idea.
