Hotels near Observatory of Ulugbek, Samarkand

A very nice hotel, great environment, five-star rating. The hotel is very comfortable, with a large courtyard. The front desk service is excellent, the atmosphere is very nice, and the host is very friendly.

I've stayed at this hotel twice. Delicious breakfasts. New hotel. Everything is clean, smells delicious, and the staff is friendly. Thank you.

Staying here is perfect for Samarkand. It's close to the train station, just a short walk away. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, and the place is clean and hygienic. The staff are very welcoming. You can easily get around by taxi.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It's location is great and the staff are amazing especially the front desk. There is no lift but the reception staff helped us with the bags. We paid for a more premium room but it was on level 3 so we asked to be changed to room on a lower level and it was great. The Georgian restaurant inside the hotel is amazing. The food is great and the staff were amazing. Will definitely stay there again.

After a few rough nights at a Soviet hotel, words can’t describe how happy I was to see this hotel. The male receptionist was very welcoming when I arrived as he let me check in a bit earlier after a train ride. The breakfast fulfilled my needs as they have fresh fruits, vegetables, yoghurt, eggs, coffee… no complaint. The guy working at the breakfast area was also very helpful. After I finished gym, I went up there. He immediately asked me if I needed water. It shows that he’s attentive. I felt happy staying there. The reason I booked it was the gym. As an active person, I need to work out on my travels. The gym is not fully equipped but it provides with the basics such as a treadmill, a bike and weights. Location wise, it’s not in the center of the tourist spot but it’s walking distance. It took me 15 min to get to Registan. Don’t worry though as Samarkand is pedestrian friendly.

We were thoroughly satisfied with our stay at this hotel. Upon arrival, the front desk manager kindly upgraded our room to a suite in celebration of my wife's upcoming birthday—a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for our visit. The suite, featuring a separate bedroom and living room, was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained. Breakfast was delicious, offering a wide range of continental options. While I would have appreciated more local dishes, the variety and quality were excellent. Both the reception and dining staff were friendly, attentive, and eager to assist. The SPA area and swimming pool were spacious, clean, and designed to offer plenty of privacy, even when other guests were present. Tip: About 100 meters to the left of the hotel, there’s a fantastic local BBQ restaurant with affordable, tasty food. A heartfelt thanks to the hotel management and staff for the upgrade and making our stay truly memorable.

This area amazing Good for family trip Nice hotel with reasonable price

I have to say we will give the reception guy 6 stars up to five. We have to catch up the train in the early morning around 1am, so that we need to stay in the lounge for around 4hours.The reception guy, with my great respect and grateful, stay up the whole night with us, no rest and give water and turn on for us. In the end, support us for communicating with the driver and carry the luggages for us, with no tips(sorry we dont have change cash at that moments) also breakfast nice and room is clean and tidy

Location: excellent! It is in the same building complex as the Art Gallery Happy Bird, mentioned in Tripadvisor. Registan is about 300 m away, so after dinner I would walk there to see the illumination. My room had 2 twin beds, was rather small but comfortable. Upon opening the windows, a cool breeze entered the room. Wi-fi was reliable and there was a water boiler for tea. Breakfast was abundant and good. The cook, Dishoda, would make me an omelette every morning. In the same building there are restaurants and fast food/ice cream joints. On my last day I took the train to Khiva, which departs at 11:46. The hotel allowed me to stay in the TV room, with wifi access, water and toilet facilities, for 10 hours after check out. I recommend Hotel Dyor.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Samarkand. The staff are friendly, the hotel is clean, and the breakfast is quite decent. Above all, however, the location is excellent. Samarkand has several international chain hotels, but many of them are located farther from the city center, which can make it less convenient for travelers to get around in the early morning or at night. For me, one of the great pleasures of traveling is being able to take an unplanned evening walk, come across a busy local restaurant or pub, and stop in for a simple meal or a drink. I think many travelers feel the same way, and this hotel is very well located for that kind of experience. If you are a runner, the location is even better. From the hotel, you can run along the boulevard with the Amir Timur statue and continue to Registan Square. The round trip is roughly 5 km. If you extend the route to Bibi-Khanym Mosque, it becomes about 7 km. One of the best things about running while traveling is the scenery you get to enjoy along the way. On a simple 5–7 km jog from this hotel, you can pass many of Samarkand’s major sights, including Gur-e-Amir, the Amir Timur statue, Registan Square, Siyob Bazaar, and Bibi-Khanym Mosque. Being able to see so much of the city during a short morning run is a real advantage. Overall, I would especially recommend this hotel to independent travelers who do not enjoy simply following a fixed itinerary—leaving with a guide in the morning, returning with the guide in the evening, sleeping, and repeating the same routine the next day. If you like exploring a city on your own, walking around the neighborhood, eating where locals eat, or going out for a morning run, this is a very good base in Samarkand. I have stayed at several other hotels in this area, and considering the location, cleanliness, service, and overall convenience, this was the best one for me.
