I recently stayed at the Hotel Grand Samarkand, and overall, I had a decent experience. The location is quite quiet, which I appreciated, but it's a bit far from the main attractions. The rooms are rather cramped with furniture, but the restaurant offers a pleasant view of the courtyard. On the downside, the dining could be improved, as I encountered some issues with the quality of the food. Despite these drawbacks, I felt I received reasonable value for my stay, although there are areas that need attention.

The rooms felt quite cramped and were overcrowded with furniture. They overlooked the hotel's restaurant, which had a nice two-story balcony with a view of the courtyard.

Service was generally acceptable, but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't use many of the services offered, like room service or laundry, so I can't speak to their quality.

The hotel is tucked away on a quiet little street, making it peaceful, but it's not close to the tourist sights, which might be a drawback for some. Taxis were easy to catch to get around.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with large and comfortable rooms that offered a lovely view of the courtyard. The atmosphere was quiet, perfect for relaxation, though I did find the breakfast options somewhat limited. The location had its pros and cons, being away from tourist attractions but close to a fun club. Overall, it was good value for money, even if some aspects could be improved.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which was clean and comfortable, though the rooms felt a tad cramped with furniture. The location is decent, close to great places like Cavalli Club and Samarkand Restaurant, but it's not super central. The dining options were good but repetitive, reflecting the local cuisine. Overall, it provided good value for money, but a bit more variety in dining would have been nice.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite nice, with a cozy atmosphere and a balcony that offered a lovely view of the courtyard. The location is a bit secluded, but it’s easy to catch a ride to explore the city. The breakfast was truly the highlight, being the best I tasted during my travels in Uzbekistan. However, there were a few hiccups with the service, which could be improved, especially related to room management.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had a lovely view of the courtyard, but they felt quite small and the early morning kitchen smells were a bit overwhelming. The location was peaceful yet convenient, making it easy to catch taxis. The dining options were pretty average, lacking variety. Overall, it was decent value for money but left some room for improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it has some decent qualities, it wasn't without its drawbacks. The rooms offer a great view and are generally clean; however, they can be quite fragrant early in the morning from the kitchen. The location is somewhat isolated, but there are some interesting spots nearby. The dining options were satisfying, featuring fresh meals, though they didn't stray far from the local cuisine. All in all, the hotel has its perks but also some not-so-ideal aspects.

I found the hotel to be in a quiet area but still reasonably easy to get transport to the city. The room I had was nice but located at the end of the hallway, which was a bit inconvenient. I enjoyed dining at the hotel, especially the breakfast, which was genuinely one of the best I had in Uzbekistan. However, it would be great if the hotel had better connectivity to tourist sites since it's somewhat far from them.

The hotel has a lot going for it, like a clean space and friendly staff, but the rooms are quite small and have some issues with early morning noise from the kitchen. The location is pretty far from the main attractions but has access to a fun club nearby. Overall, it's a decent choice for a budget stay, just be aware of the compact rooms and restaurant noise in the mornings.
