2-Star hotele w: Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

This traditional house, with its beautiful atrium, is nestled in an alleyway. At the entrance to the alley, there's a bakery, and you can really get a sense of local life, with residents and children playing. Despite its hidden location, it's conveniently just over a 10-minute walk to Registan Square. I booked a room with a bathtub and had no issues with the hot water or water pressure. However, just like the 4-star hotel I stayed at in central Tashkent, there was no plug for the bathtub drain. I had to improvise with a plastic bag to fill it up and take a bath. Given the country's situation with the disappearing Aral Sea, I've come to accept that Japanese expectations don't really apply here.

Pros: 1. The location is excellent, just a few steps from Registan Square – incredibly convenient! 2. The room size is reasonable, and the facilities are great. There are hot and cold water dispensers on each floor, which is very handy. The room also has a small fridge, perfect for keeping drinks cold in the summer. 3. Downstairs is the hotel's own highly-rated restaurant, and there are two other restaurants nearby, making dining incredibly convenient. There are also small shops around for buying drinks and snacks. 4. As mentioned above, since the hotel has its own restaurant, the breakfast quality goes without saying. 5. The price is reasonable; I stayed in a single room for three nights for just over 500. Cons: The room seemed to have been recently painted, as there were a few drops of paint on the windowsill and mirror.

Even though I arrived late at night, I was kindly checked in and shown to my room. The hotel is located in a back alley, but it's easy to find as there are many signs. I could walk to all the tourist attractions in Samarkand. It was a great location. The breakfast was also very delicious.

The hostel is located in the Old Town, which is convenient as the bus stop is only a 3-minute walk away. However, it's situated in a small alley, and there's a stretch of road without streetlights when returning from the main square, which felt a bit unsafe at night. The owner was always helpful in solving various issues, for example, when I wanted to boil a couple of eggs in the morning. There's a water dispenser available in the common area, which is handy. The day before I checked in, guests reported no hot water, initially thinking it was due to late-night usage. The next day, it was still cold. When asked, the owner said a circuit breaker had tripped. Once fixed, the water was very hot, so it's important to report any problems promptly. It was advertised as a 4-bed dorm, but it was actually a 5-bed dorm, which was quite a surprise. The owner claimed it couldn't be changed on the platform, a reason I found hard to accept. Even if the main listing couldn't be altered, they could have added a note in the remarks section. Otherwise, it feels like deception, especially for a 'non-refundable' booking where no money is returned. This was the case for both the female and male dorms. With many guests staying, the cleanliness of the common areas struggled to keep up. Also, I didn't seem to find any lockable personal lockers. The owner, who uses a wheelchair, runs this hostel, which is commendable, and the price is good. However, the issues mentioned above do exist. Luckily, I only stayed for one night as a stopover.

This guest house is a wonderful budget-friendly option in Samarkand. It’s conveniently located near the city center, only about 2 km from Registan Square and other major attractions, making it very easy to get around. The room rates are affordable, with options for 2 or 4 guests, which is perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. The host is incredibly kind, gentle, and always willing to help with anything you need. One of the highlights was the homemade breakfast prepared by the family — generous, delicious, and offering a wide variety of dishes each morning. For easier navigation or when booking a taxi, it’s best to search for “Bilol Hotel” on Google Maps. Wishing this lovely guest house continued success and many more happy guests in the future!

優點:1.位置優越。距離雷吉斯坦廣場步行大約十五分鐘。2.前台小哥服務不錯，沒有電梯，拿行李上上下下，熱情周到。3.三樓有個觀景平台，有沙發桌子，適合休閑遊旅客。缺點:1.房型不標準，大床房空間有大有小。沒房了給我三人間，床的寬度目測0.8米。2.前台沒有pos機，預付擔保金也不能抵扣房費，衹能用現金付款。

We stayed for 3 days and chose this hotel for its proximity to Registan. The location is excellent, everything is close by. We were given a room on the first floor, which wasn't the one we booked. It only had a door with a tiny window, even though we selected a room with a large window by the bed. Breakfast from 8 to 10 AM was simple and the same every day. The bathroom was very small. However, there was always hot water and a good shower, which was a pleasant surprise. Thank you.

I want to share my review of this guesthouse. It's simply excellent, and the room was spotless. Everything included in the hotel's services was provided: clean linen, towels, an electric kettle, a teapot, bottled water, toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoos, and conditioners in the shower. The owner is welcoming and hospitable. I recommend this guesthouse to all guests. Hamza and Faira.

Cleanliness: Although the hotel is a bit old, it's incredibly clean and well-maintained. There were no strange odors inside, which shows their excellent housekeeping and odor control. The lobby always had a faint fruity scent, and our room was spotless. Facilities: The hotel breakfast was fantastic! Besides standard items like coffee, tea, milk, juice, and eggs, they offered a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and local pastries every day. For tourists who spend their days exploring, such a high-quality breakfast is essential. The complimentary bottled water in the room daily was also very practical! Service: All hotel staff spoke fluent English and Russian, so communication was never an issue. They were polite, friendly, and always willing to help. We needed to book an English-speaking tour guide for the next day; after explaining it to the front desk, they immediately helped us contact someone and quickly finalized the booking. The day after our tour, upon returning to the hotel, the staff even followed up to ask if we were satisfied with the experience, showing truly excellent service. Environment: The hotel's location is superb, situated within a pedestrian street, making it very safe. Most major attractions are just a 10-minute walk away. There are many guesthouses and shops nearby, and a square not far off where many locals stroll and walk their children after the sunset cools down, making for a very pleasant evening walk. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our experience at the Sangzor Hotel and highly recommend it to other visitors coming to Samarkand!

The hotel has a great location, making it easy to explore the city by taxi or public transport (trams and buses)—everything is close by! Inside, it's very clean, and with only a small number of rooms, it's a quiet place to relax. The management and staff are always ready to help at any time of day, creating a cozy, home-like atmosphere, and they speak multiple languages. The rooms have everything needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfasts are delicious and varied, and you can also order food delivery at the front desk. As a memorable touch of Samarkand's hospitality, all guests are given a small gift—which I found wonderfully surprising and delightful! 😊 Thank you for the warm welcome! Next time I'm in Samarkand, I will definitely stay at OLD STATION again. 😁🙏
