Large hotel with excellent location near major sites. Comfortable place with friendly, helpful staff. We stayed during independence holiday and the shops, internet and food service was minimal. The staff however cared about our needs and ordered food for us and delivered to the lobby. They tried hard to provide care and attention.

The Hotel is in a very good location for visiting the town. The rooms are good and clean and there is a good big hall. The breakfast isn’t very good. The Hotel has a lots of rooms and usually the guests are of organized groups. The price of the Hotel is due to the location.

Can't complain. Everything ran smoothly. Staff friendly enough. Breakfast buffet decent. Just a couple of minutes walk to the great sights of Samarkand.

On entering this hotel now under the name of Registan Plaza Hotel - you felt like you were on one of those big cruise liners whose pictures are sometimes on the TV - a big atrium. Rooms up to 7 floors high - it was more than hot enough on floor 3 - goodness knows what temperature the upper rooms... More

This is not a 4 star hotel, the staff were most unhelpful and food was awful, the room smelt stale, the toilet was broken, the bath towels had holes in them, the bedding also had holes in it. Internet is $6 an hour and did not connect in the room had to go to the reception. They turn the interiors... More
