Colibri Traditional Guest House

Good choice! We stayed two nights in the 12beds room. The room was nice and tidy, a.c. was working properly and everyone got a nice bed, with curtains to have some privacy. In the room there are two bathrooms, and both are clean and with functioning showers. There is wifi and you can chill in the courtyard, which is really nice and relaxing. The hostel is not too far from the center and you can reach the incredible Registan in 45 minutes walking. Bear in mind, in summer Samarkand is scorching hot, so it would be better to take a yandex or a bus, asking for Amir Temur. The starting point for the bus is very close to the hostel. We didn't try the breakfast, so we can't comment about that. The host is exceptionally clear and talkative, and can speak english at a really good level He was keen to help us, underlying the main itinerary in Samarkand and suggesting us a really nice restaurant close to the hostel. Really, the host really knows how to make his job. Now, two little notes, amongst all the positive things we mentioned, both notes are referred to the 12 beds room. There are no lockers in the room, but the host was willing to help us, keeping in his office our valuable stuff. He also mentioned that there are plans of adding Lockers soon. The room is very (very) close to the street, so at night you can hear noises from the car passing by. You can sleep quietly with earplugs, but it's something worth to mention. There are plugs to charge your phone close to the bed, and that's nice. All in all a good choice.

Colibri exceeded our expectations! Everything was great at this Guest House. It's clean, quiet, and surrounded by many restaurants, mini markets. Easy access to many attractions. Abduaziz runs the place with his father. He was fantastic. Great attitude, extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful, and always available. He speaks fluent English and suggested many fun activities for us. The host has a beautiful big family. We got to eat fresh cooked breakfasts right out of their kitchen every morning in the beautiful yard under cherry trees, persimmon trees and grape vines. We were lucky enough to eat the fresh grapes :) Also a cat and her two kittens were playing in the yard. Colibri also offer pick-ups/drop-offs to the airport or train station with very reasonable price. I highly recommend this place!
