Old City Guesthouse

If you're looking for a great hotel that's within walking distance of Samarkand's main attractions like Registan Square and Bibi-Khanym Mosque, and offers a homemade-style breakfast cooked fresh to order instead of a factory-like buffet, then this is the place for you.

This guesthouse used to be a private home. No one speaks English except for the father (the owner), who works outside during the day and is only around in the early morning and evening. Overall, they were very welcoming. Of course, as it's a family-run guesthouse, the facilities aren't great; the bed is also small and just okay. You can even pay on credit when you leave. Overall, the value for money is decent—you get what you pay for.

A family-run guesthouse, quiet and cozy, not far from the market (10 minutes walk). The room is small and simple, more like a basic tourist lodge, but it has everything you need. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. It's a budget-friendly stay, and my impressions are only positive.

The host was very kind and accommodating when I informed them that I would be checking in late at night. The room was very clean, and the breakfast was delicious. I was very satisfied! I would like to stay here again.

This hotel is located in a narrow alley. When I arrived at night, it was pitch black and dark. The owner was sleeping inside and only came out later. To be honest, it was quite scary. The Gaode Map navigation wasn't very accurate either. The room was reasonably priced, but solo travelers should consider this carefully. The owner doesn't speak English, but his son does.

This is a simple but very comfortable guesthouse. The hosts are kindhearted – they checked us in early. Breakfast was delicious, prepared by the hostess herself. And the location is fantastic – close to the Registan. 🔥

It was a small guesthouse run by a family. They provided excellent service, including breakfast, and I had a wonderful time.

I was traveling alone. I arrived from Bukhara by overnight train using Yndex Go. The building was at the end of a dark street. Even though it was late at night, around 7:30 pm, I was touched by the welcoming atmosphere. They asked what time I wanted breakfast, so I requested 8 am. It took courage to go out at that time, but I walked to Registan Square. I could see the blue mosque building against the sky and headed towards it. The breathtaking full view of the illuminated mosque was beautiful. The walk back to the hotel was a bit dark, but not a problem. It's a good location for visiting several mausoleums on foot early every morning. When I ate in the courtyard, small children came out, which was adorable. The mother and grandfather couldn't speak the language, but they were very kind.

I highly recommend this guesthouse for those who want to immerse themselves even more deeply in the picturesque life of Samarkand. The location is convenient, and the hosts are welcoming. In the morning, at your convenience, a varied breakfast with homemade treats is served in the courtyard. The room is clean and has everything you need. The house is located in the picturesque neighborhoods of Samarkand, with all the sights within walking distance.
