Fantastic little hostel. It’s got an amazing location. I had a solo room which was lovely. Had to share the bathroom with another room but that was no big issue. Amazing host! Best ever.

The hotel is located at the centre of the city of Samarqand. The Registon, Siyob Bazaar, many restaurants and stores are all within a walking distance. Very convenient. There was a patio at the centre of the hotel where I enjoyed breakfast. It was quite nice place and the meal itself was also tasty. The only thing I didn't like is the ladder of the bunk bed. It would be better to have one more step at the bottom of the ladder.

かなり上位のゲストハウス

一泊だけだが、総合的にとても良い宿だった。 良い点。 立地がとても良い。ビビハニムスクやバザールまで歩いて3分ほど。 とてもリラックスできるパティオ。 ホストの英語が流暢で、相談すると全力でサポートしてくれる。 マットレスがしっかりとした固さ。 部屋も広々としている(ダブル) お茶/コーヒーのウェルカムドリンクあり。 悪い点。 ダブル/ツインルームが二つあり、トイレとシャワーはその二部屋での共同なので、使用したい時間がかぶると大変。 トイレとシャワーの下水の匂いがややきつめ。(自分の部屋の中までは匂ってこない) 部屋の窓はすべてパティオに向いているので、宿泊者の質によってはうるさいかも?(自分の時はそんなことはなかったので、あくまで推察)
