Hostel Muborak

Location wise it is located pretty nearby to most of the places of interest in Samarkand. Shower was clean and dry however the toilet paper waste bin had not been changed or emptied for three days during my stay. There is no kitchen facilities when I need hot water I just asked the host who was willingly boiling the water for me. Even though my stay was pretty decent I must say that the single room I stayed was too basic.Just beds and small cupboards.It would be good if some simple amenities such as hangers,bin or chair are provided.

The owner was friendly! and they have a small mini mart as part of the hostel building which is really convenient. The bed was comfortable, and bathroom and shower was clean at all times. The wifi was really good too. The location was average, it was about a 15 minute walk to Shah I Zinda and 20 to Registan. At night, it was through some dark streets but I always felt safe! It worked for my preference but keep it in mind :)

The room did stay cool despite higher temperatures but there was no AC in mine! so not sure how it would fare in summer

The mom working there was so kind. I didn’t have proper shoes and was only wearing Crocs. When she learned that I was going to Tajikistan, she kindly offered me trekking boots. I wanted to pay for them, but she refused. Thank you very much for your kindness. I hope people with kind hearts like yours have a wonderful future. Sincerely, Kai from Japan

The location was good and close to the main attractions. The bathroom was big and had lots of hooks to hang up clothes/towel which I find is lacking in a lot of accommodation options in Central Asia.

I had a triple room which was kind of small if there would be 3 people in the room. There were only 2 of us in the room and even then I thought there wasn't a lot of space. The bed was kind of hard and there was no charging socket near the single bed, only where the two bunk beds were. There was also no bin in the room which was kind of annoying because everytime I had rubbish, I had to go to the bathroom to throw it out.
