OUTSTANDING. Great location, wonderful people, delicious plentiful breakfast ( one of best meals I have had in Uzbekistan).Giant Room Timur and his wife were fabulous— almost as if I had family in Samarkand.

Can you imagine someone with a vision to combine a luxury hotel experience with an atmosphere of staying in a local family home? Timur and his family largely succeeded to do just that. They live at the adjacent house that you can always reach by crossing the inner garden. They were always on call, readily accommodating every crazy request of ours. Location is literally minutes away from Registan on foot.

United States of America

Location was excellent - very central and easy to access all the historical sites by walking. Really delicious breakfast and easily one of the best I've had in Uzbekistan! Timur and his family are very kind and I was treated like family instead of just a guest - Timur even let me stay until my train was leaving at night even though I already checked out! Definitely one of the best guesthouses in Samarkand if not Uzbekistan!

The owner couple are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was the best during our 3weeks stay in Uzbekistan. The location is great.

Lovely people who could not have been more friendly and helpful. Great location as you’re only a couple of minutes walk from the Registan.

Wendy

Fantastic staff and service. One of the most friendly places we have ever stayed. They let us stay late and leave our bags for a midnight train. Breakfast was amazing too.

Katherine

United States of America

Location: The location is prime (10/10) and quite authentic. Perfectly situated between Registan the other sites. The owner and his family: A genuine man who is so friendly and goes out of his way to help you and make you feel at home. Rooms/facilities: clean, spacious, and quiet. Much more modern than the pictures show.

Bennett

United States of America

Excellent host, super funny and made us smile a lot. The best location, quiet but really close to the Registan which is the top site in all Uzbekistan. Everything was lovely.

Cosmo

United Kingdom

Excellent stay . The place seems in an interior and quite shady Lane but thats a blessing because it's close to all the monuments and is in fact a great location. We got upgraded to a room in the new suite and it was swanky!!! Nothing like the pictures. It was way better . The Owner Timur was amazing and charming and the breakfast was huge and quite tasty. Very helpful warm people.

No complaints!
Timur the Great was my favorite guest house on my trip! The family were the most amazing, generous, and welcoming hosts. I felt so well cared for, and they greeted me with a smile every time I came in the door. Breakfast was incredible - a huge a delicious array in the cute courtyard. They were also so helpful in showing me where to catch shared taxis and buses to the border - I could not ask for kinder, more gracious hosts. Highly recommend! The rooms as well were very spacious and comfortable, and location is truly ideal for sightseeing. Walking. Distance of everything!

Absolutely great place with fantastic, humble and helpful owner. The rooms are much better than the ones currently displayed on google maps as the guesthouse was recently renovated. Cheap laundry, nice breakfast and the best location you can imagine: within a few minutes from Ragistan

Nice well located and safe place. Big breakfast. Timur the owner is super helpful. He arranged me the smoothest possible taxi ride to Tasjkent. One remark: there are two types of rooms, old style and modern. Would stay here again

Everything was excellent and we really enjoyed our time. The only thing I would like to highlight is we booked a triple room, but the additional bed we had for our daughter was a fold-out bed. It was fine for her but for an adult it would not have been that comfortable.
Great owner and breakfast. Awesome location. We could walk to all the major attractions.

Beautiful brand new, spacious rooms, very comfy bed and wonderful bathroom. Wifi works great, aircon is spot on, free drinking water and the breakfast in the courtyard was splendid! The location is great for an easy quick walk to the Registan etc. The family that run the guesthouse are wonderful! They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, they are very kind and thoughtful, they even booked a taxi for us to the train station, which had a meter, meaning we didn't get ripped off and paid the actual rate (1600som, unlike our taxi on the way to the guesthouse..). So far this was the best place we have stayed in Uzbekistan, highly recommend!

Bed broke on my feet almost cutting my toe. It was an accident though but still the bed was obviously just too old and not safe. Water was cut off for one night (not the guesthouse fault though, as the whole city was affected). Just improve everything a little bit more and it will be a great guesthouse.
Awesome location. All in all very good.
