A wonderful, laid back hostel close to the main attractions of Samarkand. Communication prior to our stay was good, our room was very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. A varied breakfast was a good way to start the day. Very reasonably priced.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. Really cheap, helpful staff and comfortable beds. The location is fantastic as you’re right in the middle of all the biggest spots. A nice courtyard for the common area which brings people together. Highly recommend it here if you’re visiting Samarkand!

Pros: super great location, super nice staff and helpful l, really beautiful hostel, the breakfast is really good. Cons: I stayed in the 8 mixed bedroom, the door of the room doesn't close and it's just loud ( I am a light sleeper), and the beds are too hard.

The location was great as it was super close to all the attractions - it took me maximum 10 minutes to walk to them. It had a really cool decor, perfect for those who like vintage stuff. The hostel was clean and the breakfast was tasty and generous. Also, Sherzod was always ready to help with anything you needed. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Samarkand.

Great location. Lovely staff. Dorms have lights, shelves, outlets, hangers, curtains for every bed. However top bunk is harder than usual to get up to. Staff was kind enough to let me move beds after a few people checked out.

Great time at this hostel. The hosts were very kind and helpful with anything I needed. There is a single outdoors common area which we used to congregate but it was a little chilly at night and I imagine it gets hot in the summer. The dorm has high ceilings but can get hot at night.

In terms of atmosphere this is the best hostel we have stayed in since we started our travels 3 months ago. We got to meet lots of friendly fellow travellers here in Samarkand. The location is excellent, you can easily walk to food and attractions. The beds were changed once during our week-long stay which is great. Only a couple of small inconveniences. The shower pressure could be better. Also the bathroom can get smelly when the bin hasn't been emptied for a few hours.

Loved this place! Such sweet and helpfull staff. The only issue for me was that the bed was hard but they helped me make it softer, and also it was a bit hard to climb to the top bunk. But the location is unbeatable, the atmosphere is great, the people working their are the best and goes above and beyond in so many ways! Brilliant hospitality! Also I highly recommend the tours they offer! This was my favorite hostel in all of Central Asia 🌸

delicious breakfast and caring staff!! toilet is exceptionally clean and the location is unbeatable, only 10 mins walk to registan. will come back again. But the only downside is that the top bunk is way too high and the ladder makes it really hard to climb up to the bed.

Best location. Best breakfast. Rooms and toilets are clean and spacious. The quaint and cosy courtyard is a great place to hang and meet fellow travelers. They’re the best in the country for good reasons.
