Everything was good for us.

The hotel is connected to its own restaurant which provided lovely breakfasts for us. They also do some great food in the evenings. It’s a very pretty hotel with a lovely garden. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us sort out the local version of Uber on our phones which was amazing for helping us get around Samarkand and visiting the sights. The Registan is about a 40 minute walk through the city there or a short taxi ride. Everything was very clean and our room was very comfortable. Situated in a lovely leafy area of Samarkand.

The people in this hotel were the most welcoming and caring people we met during our trip. The room was so wonderful decorated and located to the garden sight. It was calm, very clean and very close to the center. The included breakfast was extraordinary. We chose of a menu all we wanted and it was fresh made and so delicious. Thank you for this wonderful stay.

everything was excellent

No lift. Bed very decidedly "firm" from a North American perspective.

Opted to stay here my last night in Uzbekistan purely because it's attached to one of the more highly rated restaurants in the city. The restaurant didn't disappoint. The room was also very spacious and impeccably clean.

The beds were SOOOOO uncomfortable that it made it difficult to sleep the first night. They really should get better beds in. I would pay more for that!!!

I really loved the friendly and knowledgeable staff. There was also one waiter who was exceptional and understood well how to cater to foreigners. The menu of the restaurant had a variety of good things to eat for reasonable prices. Also, the hotel itself was VERY well priced.

Although not the fault of the hotel, we did book a day trip with a driver which came recommended by the front desk clerk. The driver turned out to be a bit of a sleazy person and we ended up being ripped off for having lunch at a place of this choosing mid-way between Samarqand and Shahrisabz. We informed the hotel and they took note of this.

Super value for money! Great location not too far from the main sights, friendly staff, rooms are spacious and nicely decorated (ours had a view into the inner courtyard). Breakfast was also included and in terms of quality and quantity it was top-notch. The hotel also boasts its own restaurant which happens to be among the best in town; the quality of the food and the services justifies the slightly higher prices compared to other options around the touristic areas.

AC did not work in first room (we switched). Mattresses thin, hard.

Best breakfast ever! Great service. Nice neighborhood setting near shopping. Large, well-lit rooms.

Perhaps having one more person for breakfast.

Platan is a place where you can rest in a very peaceful environment. The staff is absolutely amazing and helpful and the rooms are very comfortable and clean.

Location, cleanliness, breakfast

Beautiful quiet and spacious room in the Russian quarter, the on-site restaurant is also one of the best in Samarkand, especially if you want some vaguely vegetarian/healthy food

Stayed in February 2023

The hotel is alongside the Platan Restaurant, which prioritises hotel guests. This is a real bonus as the restaurant is always overbooked. The food in the restaurant is superb, both at breakfast and in the evenings

One of greatest boutique hotel experiences. Amenities and breakfast are top-notch.

Only drawback is there is no commode shower in the toilet. A lift could have add more comfort and convenience, specially for aged travellers.

Everything, from location to service to food to comfort everything

Hotel Platan is very clean, comfortable and quiet. It has an exceptional restaurant for dinner. The breakfast was huge and very good. You can walk to Registan in about 30-40min. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was overlooking the courtyard/garden.

This was our most positive experience in Central Asia so far, that offered a hotel + restaurant combination! We highly recommend this hotel for those that want good rest, and want to eat gourmet dishes with high quality ingredients! Great place to bring guest and family members for a special meal. The best place for quality food in Samarkand. Nice and friendly service! Amazing restaurant team, we where very impressed. Keep up the good work!

We stayed in Platan about 4 years ago first time, and a few more times since then. There are only a handful of hotels in Samarkand we would recommend our friends and family. Platan is TOP on our list. Best breakfast in town! Uncontested in this! Best coffee, cappuccino! The secret is that this hotel has a huge restaurant, next to it, that is part of the Platan company. The restaurant has a huge selection of dishes, best salads in the country, I mean huge portions, we where very surprised by the quality of the food, and the amazing environment at their restaurant. Vegetarian options are plenty! Live pianist, saxophone, the whole works! Hotel was very nice, with their own unique designs very comfortable room. We got to make some product videos with my wife, for doTERRA, plenty of luxury backgrounds, nice tables, comfy chairs. Was treated well by the staff, all our wishes where fulfilled with our video needs, even got an extra table brought in for the room to have the full range of our products displayed. THANKS FOR THE ROYAL TREATMENT!
