I loved this hotel. It’s not exactly walkable to the historic attractions (though I did walk from the hotel to them), but it’s near a lot of restaurants and shopping. The hotel was clean and the staff was great and the room was huge.

This is a great place to stay at if looking for a short term stay in Samarkand. It is 30 minute walk to “old city” and the famous Registan, free breakfast, and beautiful garden are a nice tough as well. However the best thing about the hotel in my opinion is the helpfulness and friendliness of the hotel staff, especially Murod. He took time out of his day to show me around the city, from seeing the laser show at Registan and also for giving amazing advice on things to see. I would give Platan hotel a 10/10!

Platan is has a good quality price ratio. A few things need to be addressed though: the AC in the room is very noisy and needs to be modernized. The receptionist during the night shifts spoke very little English and communication was difficult. There are frequent power outages which are quickly resolved. Overall is a good place, tidy, quiet area and the breakfast is excellent. Every room has a coffee machine with very good coffee. 10 points for the restaurant which is absolutely excellent, delicious fresh food and very good service. I will come back to Platan for sure!

Wonderful hotel with amazing staff

The hotel is located in quiet street not far from main attractions of Samarkand. The rooms are spacious and clean and the hotel restaurant where breakfast is served is authentic and beautiful. The breakfast was very good. The hotel restaurant is very popular with live music. It is recommended to book it in advance if you are going to have dinner there. Finally the staff especially Mr. Murod and Mr. Bexruz are super friendly, professional and helpful.

Highly recommended

A quiet and comfortable retreat at the end of each day of hot sightseeing! Clean with very comfy (firm, not hard) beds. The breakfast was fabulous. In fact, their farm-to-table restaurant was so good we found it difficult to eat elsewhere! Everyone was helpful and accommodating.

Great Hotel and Restaurant with kind service

Great hotel with very solid food options if you aren't feeling super adventurous (nice restaurants don't get better in town). Service really nice and one they even drove us when taxis weren't super available. The one comment for change is that the bed was not great. The first night it was pretty terrible and they gladly swapped the mattress in the morning. Still not great, but this seems like a common shortfall in the country (although our place in Buhara was great!).

Great Staffs, Great Service!

Gorgeous hotel! Thank you so much for your kindness and sincerity! At the last day it was raining all day long, and they even offered me late check-out free of charge. I could have a great time and beautiful memories with you, thanks to you. I'm satisfied with everything the hotel offered me including the clean and comfortable room and nice food, and moved especially by the friendly staffs. It was very lucky to have such a helpful staff! :) Without Firdavs's help, I couldn't have such a great time in Samarkand. And also thanks to Kemal, he was so considerate to help me to meet the Koreisky people, what I wished to do. I wish I can visit Samarkand again and stay at Platan again. :)
