    Liked : Hi travelers, this hostel is best in every sense. It’s managed by a lovely family. They are pretty helpful and always asking if you need a help or something. Super nice people! They have a nice kitchen too! You can easily cook any recipe. I stayed here for 5 days, but i wish i could stay more!

    Great Choice for Budget Travelers!

    Liked : Only stayed for a night, i would have stayed longer if i needed to! This is a great place to base oneself in Samarkand!

    Excellent location. It’s not at the historic center, but pretty close. It seems to be in one of the affluent parts of Samarkand. There are lots of expensive shops and restaurants in the area, but there are lots of cheap places to eat too.

    Comfy beds with privacy curtains and with individual power sockets. Lockers are provided.

    There’s more than one bathroom, and there’s a separate toilet so i never had to wait long.

    The family that runs the place is friendly and totally hands on.

    Disliked : The WiFi was kinda spotty at times.

    great value for money, good location and lovely hosts, would definitely recommend

    Liked : Good location in quite an affluent area of the city, close to Central Park with lots of shops, restaurants, currency exchange, shopping malls and supermarkets nearby.
    Good public transport as bus M1 to/from the railway station and airport is only a few minutes away.
    The owners are friendly, welcoming, helpful and speak good English.
    Shared kitchen is well equipped, overall great value for money.
    Clean rooms, toilets and showers.

    Disliked : nothing really, but maybe Wi-Fi can sometimes be a bit slow in the evening inside the dorms.

    Excellent

    Liked : It was an ideal place to stay. The owner is friendly and accommodating. Credits for having good spoken English skills. I like that the room has three toilets and is both comfy and tidy. The location is excellent—it's 15 to 20 minutes from the airport, next to a bus station, a mall, and parks. On my last day, I ran into trouble since I had run out of money, and I needed to pay for a taxi ride to the airport. Without asking, the owner pays the taxi fare and instructs me not to repay her. Her generosity deepens my love for Uzbekistan. Without a doubt, I'll return and stay at this hostel. - love Cholo from 🇵🇭

    Disliked : Nothing at all.
