Gur Emir Palace in Samarkand

My friend and I stayed here for two nights when we visited Samarkand. The location, staff service, and food were all excellent. I especially appreciated the complimentary water bottles. It would have been helpful to know about them upfront, though. The room was clean, probably because the hotel is new, but the amenities weren't particularly extensive. There was only one power outlet between the beds, which was inconvenient. The shower was a bit of a struggle, as sometimes the water was scalding hot and other times only cold water came out. That being said, the view from the rooftop in the morning was exceptional, and the breakfast served there was fantastic with a wide variety of choices. I would definitely want to stay here again when I visit Samarkand in the future.

The staff were amazing! They were so kind and engaging. I truly hope to see them again and stay at this hotel in the future. Thank you so much!

I had the most economical room. Even so, it had a small window. Due to the thin walls, it wasn't perfectly quiet, but overall it was comfortable enough. Breakfast is served upstairs, and it can get crowded. There's also a terrace. The location is convenient for Registan and the Mausoleum.

nice hotel and best view.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The room design was also charming and very clean. If you're coming to Samarkand, I'd highly recommend this hotel; it's top quality.

This hotel is absolutely stunning and full of character. The painted walls, intricate golden doors, and regal design create an atmosphere of royal luxury from the moment you step inside. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Our room was decorated in a local, oriental style, with many interesting artistic touches and local vases throughout, both in the room and around the hotel. The only downside is that the hotel is tucked away amidst other buildings with no view. Our room was small, and the windows faced an enclosed inner courtyard where a door constantly slammed shut as it was a thoroughfare to all floors. Consequently, there was no view at all. You could easily sleep all day and night in a room like that with the curtains drawn! 😀 However, we did enjoy the atmospheric surroundings. The room had all the necessary toiletries, was cleaned daily, and fresh water and tea were replenished daily. The location is convenient, just 10 minutes from the train station and airport, and within walking distance of major attractions, monuments, mosques, and mausoleums. Registan Square is a 15-minute walk away. Breakfasts were delicious and varied, served on a panoramic terrace on the top floor. We'd like to thank the hotel staff for allowing us to check in early and for their excellent service overall 🙏 Thank you for the warm welcome.

Excellent location, and a good variety of breakfast options.... for a 3-star hotel, it's great!

We had a problem with the shower, but the front desk changed the room for us soon.

The hotel is beautiful and has a great atmosphere, with a good location. The downside is that everything feels outdated. Our mini-fridge didn't work at all. The price doesn't quite match the quality, and the breakfasts are just average.
