Hotel Zarina is an excellent hotel right in the center of Samarkand just opposite to the Registan. It is very clean and calm and the stuff is extremely friendly and helpful (especially Sanjar gave us very good recommendations, prices were really appropriate and the drivers he recommended were reliable and cautious). We enjoyed the 5 days there and would definitely... More

The hotel is located near many of the local sites to see. It is 1/2 block to a local restaurant Levi-Gor where you can get food and drink upstairs overlooking the main street. The hotel requires all patrons to remove their shoes when entering. They have wood floors and the hotel itself is very clean. It even has a small... More

The hotel location is very nice, close to the famous Registan and Gur Emir mausoleum ... However the neighborhood is not that nice. The staff are very nice and helpful, the breakfast is alright, there is a nice swimming pool in the yard. The rooms are correct with air conditioner, except unpleasant smell was coming from the bathroom (at least... More

I describe the hotel as average. The rooms are ok, but the bathroom is old and not very big. There is no showercurtain, so you must put away for example the toiletpaper when you take a shower. There was no possibility to have dinner. (however the breakfast is ok and served in the restaurant). Service is ok and the courtyard... More

We stayed here at the end of the summer. Yes it was still hot, but the room we had was lovely, overlooking the small pool, with a small balcony. You have to bear in mind that this is supposed to be a BUDGET hotel, and in our opinion it is much more than that. Definatley Three Stars. Helpful staff, the... More

Its a nice hotel, 3 minute walk to Registan. There are all sorts of rooms here, as its a converted house. I stayed in the biggest one, which was huge, and cool retro furniture. But the bed was very short. (I also never get that in many countries, they leave the sheet folded and you have to do something with... More

Walking off the main road to get to this hotel it looks a bit of a dodgy area, but actually the whole town is really very safe and once you get inside the Hotel Zarina the place is very well-kept. The courtyard is pretty with plenty of shady seating and a shallow pool. The staff were helpful, although a couple... More

The central location - five minutes from the famous Registan square - is definitely the main quality of this hotel. On the other hand, please note that Hotel Zarina is hidden between rather uninspiring flats, that were probably erected under Khrushchev. Centrally located, but not in a nice neighbourhood. The staff speaks hardly no English. Its French is better (though... More

Liked: location (town central), great view of the Guri Amir mausoleum from my room. Disliked: value for money. EUR40 for a single room at the end of the season, with no telephone or TV (and an iffy smell from the plumbing) was overpriced. Also disliked: the sudden demand for full payment after 1 night of a 2-night stay, delivered not... More
