Samarkand Central Apartments

The location is within easy 10 minutes walk from Registan square city center. No breakfast provided but the kitchen is fully equipped, the hostess even leave some food to consume eg pasta and cereal and sauces on top of the coffee and tea. I would like to stress that the landlady is very attentive, knowledgeable and thorough with her informations. I feel privileged to know her as a guest in her apartment. She looked after me even before i reached Samarkand, booked my train ticket, collected me in the station and brought me to the apartment since she knew i travelled alone. I was touched by her kindness. Without any doubt i highly recommend the apartment for a stay in Samarkand. I definitely will be back. Thank you very much.

Nothing. I wish to stay longer.

Very spacious flat, recently renovated with excellent facilities and amazing location just opposite a park. The host is wonderful and has thought about every single detail to make guests comfortable.

I liked everything

Een ruim en modern appartement in een rustige flat op loopafstand van de attracties. Groot en stevig bed, goede inloop douche, goed licht. Svetlana, Dmitry en Lena zijn heel zorgzaam en communiceren heel goed. Het is fijn dat er veel producten in de kast staan om te koken.

Het appartement is in een oud gebouw en in het gebouw viel een keer het licht uit. Tip: neem een zaklantaarn mee.

The apartment is located quite centrally and close to all the tourist spots. It's clean and super nice with renovated modern interiors and with everything that you may need during the stay. The host doesn't speak English that well (as the case with most in Uzbekistan) but is able to converse using a translator app via WhatsApp and was very attentive.

The apartment itself is modern and nice, but it’s in a rundown 1960s Soviet-era building — a complete surprise because the apartment pictures looked so good and modern! I’ve stayed in many apartments worldwide, but this is the first time the photos looked so good while the building was this old. Definitely recommend taking a hotel at the same price! There’s almost no lighting in the complex (picture attached) — just a dim bulb outside each unit, and ours didn’t even have that (see photo). The motion-sensor light stopped working after the first night; despite daily messages, nothing was done. No elevator, broken stairs, and no lights — I nearly tripped twice. Alerted the attentive Host who just went on to complain about the building management and the city lighting instead of addressing the issue at hand. Payment was another hassle. The listing said “pay at property,” but they don’t take card in the normal way. They expected a transfer to their Visa card! The host’s assistant barely spoke English, so it took ages to sort out using Google Translate. Eventually, the host agreed to take partial cash which I had on me and settle the rest later when I would come back from the ATM— completely avoidable if they had just stated “Cash Only” upfront. The worst part came later — when we reached Tashkent, the hotel refused to check us in because the previous host hadn’t completed our mandatory registration (required for stays of 3 nights or more and within the first 3 days of arrival). Private hosts often skip this to avoid paying the tourist tax, even though guests pay it. We were sent to the immigration office (picture attached) across the city, waited two hours, and only after the officer intervened were we allowed to check in. This avoidable issue ruined an entire day in Tashkent. I was very disappointed with the way things turned out for us and wanted to write a detailed review so that others do not have to suffer like us.
