Malika Prime Hotel

An unforgettable stay in the heart of Samarkand! 🌟 Just steps away from a charming boulevard, stunning minarets, and a bustling local market — the perfect starting point for exploring this magical city. The room was perfect: cozy, well-equipped, and with a balcony offering breathtaking views of the minarets. The peaceful neighborhood made it easy to relax and recharge after each day’s adventures. Samarkand stole my heart, and this hotel was a big part of that. I’ll definitely be coming back — and when I do, it will be right here! ❤️

Breakfast average. Staff were friendly and helpful, although one of them preferred to keep laying on the sofa and sleep while we were checking out as if we were passing through his bedroom. There is no water boiler in the rooms. You have to call for tea and coffee if you want to have.

A cosy budget boutique hotel close to Gur e Amir Mausoleum. Simple but very large rooms with a beautiful and tasteful theme. Charming staff and a great breakfast. Alas we were only here for one night which was a shame as would have liked longer. It's in a great location for wandering around the city and plenty of restaurants and parks nearby and not far at all from Rajestan square which is a pleasant stroll away.

The location of this hotel is good being right next to the Amir Temur Park in Samarkand. It's also a 15 minute walk away from Registan square. The rooms were less spacious than what we experienced in other cities of Bukhara. They only have two rooms on the ground floor. All other rooms are on the first floor and one needs to climb stairs as there is no elevator. They have a lovely terrace on the 3rd floor. The breakfast served in the restaurant was average. There are no lunch options at this hotel. They have their own cafe next door which does not have any food and only serves canned drinks as we were told by the unwelcoming staff at the cafe. There is only one restaurant near this hotel which is a fine dining one and not for a quick bite. It's a decent place to stay but not a convenient one.

The location is excellent. Close to all the attractions. The road infromt of the hotel is picture perfect. Breakfast items are mix of local and intercontinental cuisine. Juice selection is limited. Hotel staff are well conversant in english which is rare in Uzbekistan.

Very well situated hotel - opposite the Rukhobod mausoleum and easy walking to the Timur mausoleum. Less than 30 minutes to the Registan. Lovely balcony at the front. Good breakfast and turned laundry round really fast. Only drawback is distance from any restaurants though we we walker to Old City which had the best plov of the trip.

On planning a recent trip along The Silk Road, we found most larger hotels in Samarqand already booked, so we settled on a rented apartment - which was absolutely awful. Imagine our delight when we stumbled upon the charming boutique Hotel Malika Prime, which was not only able to accommodate us almost immediately, but also arranged for a car and driver to help with our relocation. Our spacious and quiet room had the bonus of being located over the front door, so had a tiny balcony embraced by national flags, and boasted a view of the park across the street and the stunning Mausoleum of Emir Temur. While the beds tended to be hard, we found this to be a norm across Uzbekistan. Bathrooms were modern and had mostly reliable hot water. Just enough decor touches to remind us we were in Samarqand. Included breakfast was basic but so convenient. The whole hotel was as clean and tidy as a new pin; the shady rooftop terrace a great place to unwind with a cold beer; and at night it was possible to see both the gorgeously illuminated Gur Emir and the tops of the buildings in the Registan Ensemble. The location is wonderful - within walking distance of these big tourist sites, the entertaining bazaar, and a variety of restaurants. While the hotel is near a main thoroughfare, its leafy street is quiet and cool. Best of all? The friendly and ever-helpful front desk staff, who spoke fluent English and always had time for conversation.
