Timur the Great in Samarkand

Timur and his family were the most friendly hosts. We arrived early in the morning (around 4 a.m.) but we're still able to get already in our rooms.
The breakfast was very rich and various, with tea, vegetables, fruits, omelette and even baklava. Timur was also extremely helpful with explaining the taxi driver our next stop.
The location of the hotel is really central, important tourist attractions are in walking distance, such as the registan.
Definitely a recommendation!

Uzbekistan is a country that you can look at from several aspects, and two are the most important - historically and through the people who live there. You can see and experience Uzbekistan by staying in luxury hotels and visiting famous historical places. Or you can experience Uzbekistan through the people. I was lucky enough to experience it both ways, and this is my story about the MAN and the owner of this small hotel, Mr. Timur. And let me clarify right away, at the very beginning - if you want to get to know Uzbekistan through the people, the way they live and what they really are, this is the place for you. Don't expect a high-tech room, but you will get everything you need - a comfortable bed, clean towels, simple wardrobe, proper air conditioning and a functional bathroom. But at the same time, you will get the hospitality of Mr. Timur and his wife, which is rarely seen today. You will meet hard-working and honest people, with a big heart, who will really go out of their way to meet your needs, even when no one expects or asks them to. You are not guests of this small family hotel, you are friends. In the true sense of the words, you become a part of the house, a temporary member of the family, and then you will discover Samarkand and all its secrets through a completely new prism, which, unfortunately, is denied to all those who come to take pictures of beautiful historical sights. Only when you meet the wholehearted people, will you be able to UNDERSTAND fascinating madrasas, mosques and mausoleums. Because only the beauty of human souls can build magnificent objects. Thanks to Mr. Timur and his family for opening my eyes again after many years, showing me what is actually worth experiencing first and what comes after.

I have stayed here twice and had numerous friends stay here. Temur aka and his family are absolutely wonderful people. Not only are the accommodations modern, spacious, and comfortable, but the guesthouse is perfectly located and the breakfasts are superb. Temur aka and his family are also extremely knowledgeable about the city and very willing to help with anything you might need. Could not recommend more!

Friendly, helpful host. Simple and tasty breakfast included. Close to everything you need from shops to restaurants. Clean comfortable room with cozy atmosphere and big bed. Cheap price. The best place of our trip in Uzbekistan.

Nice guesthouse in a good location. Rooms were new, very spacious and warm!! I was in Uzbekistan in winter and not all rooms were warm in other places I stayed. Owner Timur is very nice and late checkout the day I left was no problem. Breakfast was less spectacular than some but certainly adequate.
