    The toilet had problems with flushing. There was an unpleasant smell probably from another room, but they were trying to get rid of it.

    The accomodation is pleasant and the breakfast was excellent! The ladies working there were very kind and the owner was fair regarding the price and didn't try to charge more then expected (happened to me in two hostels before this one).

    The single room has a little hallway with three more rooms. Unluckily the other rooms were booked by a mid aged men group. When I arrived they already made some strange talks and at 4AM in the first night they were very loud in front of the door, so I got very scared. While I was asking for changing the room the staff told me they are fully booked and that I should lock the door… As a single traveling woman I wished the staff checkt earlier where to put who.

    The single room was amazing for the price. They also offer breakfast that looked great! The staff is so nice and they offer a laundry service.

    It was quite noisy, whenever someone entered or left the rooms nearby or spoke in the courtyard. No kettle, no hairdryer, no opportunity to buy water bottles in the hotel. The bed was quite hard, I didn't feel comfortable in my room and couldn't sleep well.

    It's located in a really nice area, right next to the mausoleum of Amir Temur. The owner is friendly and let me store my luggage in his office. The ladies working in the kitchen were very warm-hearted and kind.

    Despite the name of the property, the breakfast was so so. Also it was cold at night in March. There was opportunity to turn on a conditioner but the air became to dry.

    The stuff in this place is hospitable and warm-hearted. The location is perfect for tours by foot (if you travel by car the curvy and thin streets may be an obstacle in this part of city). We were given a tea when arrived.

    Rooms were a bit run down, ants in the room and the waste was not emptied daily despite it was requestet to put the toilet paper in there. Manager was the only one who speaks english but was often not at hand.

    A small hotel in walking distance to some of the greates sights in Samarkand. If you do not mind a longer walk you can visit the main sights one way and get back by taxi.

    Girls watch out: After going out with friends for drinks, I came back to the hotel around 1am. As requested in the guest information letter, I had texted them before on WhatsApp, telling them I would be back late (in the guest information letter they ask guests to let them know if they get back later than 11pm). They had not reacted to my text, though, and the door was closed, so I had to knock. An older man (the boss, as I was told later) opened the door and actually scolded me (!) for being back late, as if I was some minor girl that had violated his house rules. I found that really inacceptable. When I checked out, I left my key in the room, as I had agreed with one of the younger guys there, because I had to leave before 6am and thought that probably nobody would be at reception at such an early hour. However, the old guy was there and made me (in a very unfriendly manner) go back to the room and fetch the key for him, even though I told him I had agreed to leave the key at the room. Sorry guys, but that's not how you treat paying guests.

    Everything was amazing! Katta rahmat!

    Location is excellent, just near to Gur Amir and other historical places in the City. Breakfast with Samarkandi hospitality was very delicious and staff were highly professional and best in their work. I appreciate and highly recommend this place especially for those who want to feel historical spirit of the most beautiful City and the Heart of Uzbekistan, ancient and Great Samarkand!

    This is truly a budget place: cheap, hard mattress, in a pealing plastic cover. Thin towels. No hairdrier. I don’t mind putting used toilet paper into a bin but I do mind when it is not emptied for 4 days - did it myself in the end. Breakfast meagre, unappetising and unvaried, in a very cold dining room (still asked to take shoes off). Very poor internet when it works, and it didn’t work for 2 days.

    Good location, right by Gur-Amir. Easy to get around on foot. Umbrella provided when asked for. Polite staff, but place not geared to winter tourism.

    This B&B isn't great for families however. Beds were very-very stiff, the restroom smelled pretty bad, and the breakfast was quite limited.

    B&B Emir is located right next to Amir Temur's masoleum. That's certainly helpful if you want to go around the historic sites on foot.
