Jahongir

Jahongir Guest House (a minute's walk down the street from the main hotel) was well located to the old city in Samarkand (Registon was under a 10 minute walk).||SERVICE: I didn't encounter bad service anywhere in Uzbekistan. Everyone at the front desk spoke good English and was helpful and proactive, orienting me to the city, and chatting with me about Uzbekistan and the US.||ROOM: The house itself is large, built round an external atrium. My room on the ground floor had more character and local detailing than in the main hotel, something I liked. Most beds in Uzbekistan are quite firm, which I also happen to like. Complimentary water was provided. That said, decor and design in both places was reasonably simple, you aren't staying here for that.||BREAKFAST: Served in the dining area as a buffet, and was a little more Russian and less interesting than at other places I stayed. ||WIFI: No issues||PAYMENT: They say they take credit cards here, but my American one was denied. I needed to get cash at an ATM - but this is now not a complicated matter - there was one at Registon. Still, assume you will have to pay in cash.||LOCATION AND SIGHTS: All attractions are close by, including Registon Square, which is a must at sunset and nightfall. Best tip, I thought you would have to leave the square promptly at closing - 6 pm. People lingered inside longer, it seemed. The blue hour and illumination here was amazing, and less gaudy when I went then I have seen in pictures.

A great location close to many of the cities main tourist attractions. The staff are all friendly and wonderful, many of them speak enough English so we can communicate easily. The rooms are comfortable, quiet and clean, the beds are also comfortable. Probably the best breakfasts we have had in Uzbekistan as well. I would certainly recommend this guest house (not to be confused with the hotel with a similar name just down the street) if you are staying in Samarkand.

We stayed a night in this beautiful BB while visiting Samarkand. The inside courtyard is with a very peaceful and wonderful garden. The room was also very nice. The BB is also few steps away from the Registan square. But what the BB excels is in the services! Not only did they arranged us transport around the city but also a tour with a guide. Not only, we had a problem with train tickets (we had booked the wrong one) they accompanied us to the station and helped us to get a new one. Top service. Top hotel manager! The kindest people we ever met in hotel business. If you plan to visit Samarkand this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of March. Our room was on the ground floor in the corner. It didn't have much natural light but was lovely in terms of decoration, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was well appointed with a great shower and excellent water pressure. It also had pretty tiles.||We received a good welcome, and the ladies in the breakfast room were really sweet. Breakfast was great!||The WiFi in our room wasn't great (probably due to the location of the room). The TV didn't work. We told the man in reception who got a replacement tv box eventually. ||The location was great, being a short walk to The Registan.||We would probably stay here again.

We stayed in the hotel during our visit in Samarkand. It was a really enjoyable stay. The room was very comfortable and spotlesdly clean.|They helped us ib booking our train to Khiva and organised our transfer from the airport (when we landed at 4 am) and to the station.|Good and varied breakfast.|We also used their help to organise a day trip to Urgut Bazaar and Shahrisabz. Everything very professional.

The hotel is located in the most interesting place of Samarkand - old town. All interesting sights are reachable by foot. There are some nice restaurants around. By taxi it’s about 15 min from the main station.|Personnel is qualified and friendly. Card payment is possible but you’ll be charged about 1,5% extra on your payment. This is very often in Uzbekistan.|The room was well decorated quipped with everything including AC which worked for heating too. |Some bottles of complimentary water were provided. |Clean and quiet. The interior yard was nice also. |Breakfast is better than well.|I reduced the mark due to annoying incident happened to my card. I’ve been charged 700$ instead of 80$ apparently by mistake. And noticed that absolutely accidentally.|The hotel has returned the difference but I have lost about 10$ of commission taken by the the bank.|So check your bills after payment to avoid those problems. And pay by cash better.

The air in Samarkand, even in the low season, held a quiet magic. After the bustle of my usual routine, Jahongir Hotel became my haven. Just a five-minute stroll from the magnificent Registan Square, it offered a perfect blend of tranquility and proximity to the old city. The staff, with their warm smiles and genuine hospitality, made me feel instantly at ease. It was the ideal escape for a weary soul seeking to disconnect and recharge. The town itself, I imagine, must be a breathtaking spectacle in the vibrant hues of spring. I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting destination to anyone yearning for an unforgettable journey.
