Room is clean and spacious. Staff is helpful. However, the location is far from the sightseeing spots. However, it is easy to call Yandex. So it is not that inconvenient.
Clean, nice hotel! Great service, great people, they speak English well. Very helpful and informative. The only thing is they don’t have an ironing board in the rooms, you have to ask for it and it’s available. Thanks
I had a very disappointing experience at the Continental Hotel in Samarkand during checkout.
My sister unfortunately lost her room key card, and the receptionist immediately told us we had to pay a $30 fine. I asked him to show me the hotel policy or any written terms stating that a lost card carries a $30 charge. He could not provide anything.
When I questioned the charge, his behaviour became increasingly aggressive. I asked to speak to the manager so we could resolve the matter properly, but he refused. He then began shouting at me. I explained that I had a taxi waiting outside and a train to catch, but instead of trying to resolve the issue professionally, he continued to argue.
What was particularly concerning was that the amount suddenly changed. The original demand was $30, then it was reduced to $20, and eventually to $15 after I continued refusing to pay a charge that had not been supported by any policy he could show me.
I eventually paid the $15 reluctantly because I was under severe time pressure and did not want to miss my train. I paid because of the circumstances, not because I accepted that the charge was justified.
The issue is not really the $15. It is the way the situation was handled: an unexplained “fine,” no policy provided, refusal to let me speak with a manager, a repeatedly changing amount, and aggressive behaviour towards a guest who was trying to leave.
My advice to future guests is to avoid this place at all cost. It’s run by gangsters.
Looks very overpriced. Tiny rooms with, extremely narrow beds, no place for suitcases. Management need to be improved. We we very much disappointed. The only good thing was the breakfast.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
First they gave us rooms in old wings which were very small and stinking
Then they shifted to the new wing were they had only heated AC provision
The room was so hot and suffocated
We went and told them they said we don’t have cooling syste

Discreto in buona posizione
Hotel in buona posizione (15 minuti a piedi da piazza Registan). Camera decisamente piccola con due letti singoli molto stretti, bagno piccolo. Colazione appena sufficiente, ma niente altro che caffè americano, the e due succhi di frutta da bere. Decisamente scarsa la scelta. Molta apparenza e poca sostanza, considerando il prezzo.
