Hotel Soro

We stayed at a small family hotel that was spotless, and the staff gave us personal attention and helped with everything we needed. It sits close to Samarkand’s main tourist sites and the big market. The breakfasts were plentiful and satisfying. Overall, we really liked the place and would highly recommend it, especially considering the price and great value.

The hotel is a 10‑minute walk from Registan Square, surrounded by many shops and restaurants. It’s small but clean. The only downside is that there are no windows.

The breakfast was generous, and a young man at the reception was very helpful. We chose a room with a window over a larger windowless one and initially struggled with street noise, but we eventually got used to it. The mattresses were firm, which we prefer, and in Uzbekistan we generally find mattresses to be extra hard. We would have appreciated a small table to set our luggage on.

“Nice family hotel with a great location”

This cozy family hotel is just a 10‑minute walk from Registan Square, with a great location that’s easy to reach. The breakfast was rich and delicious. Our room had no windows, so book one if that matters to you. The price was very good.

“Как бы теперь забыть это”

The hotel is centrally located near attractions, and the breakfast is decent— the owner’s wife cooks with whatever she has. The price increased by 15% at check‑in under the pretext of a mandatory registration fee, yet no registration documents were provided; the owner claimed it’s normally free. I was told this by another hotel on the same route in a different Uzbek city, where registration never cost anything. The owner is a scammer! I booked a double room but arrived alone, so I was first assigned a triple room. The bedding on all beds had visible stains from human activity; it seemed very old and washed only in water, which was unpleasant given it was originally white. The bathroom fixtures were adequate, but the faucet wasn’t initially attached to the sink and hung only on hoses. The shower head was completely clogged, water leaked over it and ran sideways, risking a full tear and falling on your head. The beds were narrow and tightly packed under high nightstands, so you’d hit your head and arms all night. The large panoramic window on the first floor meant you’d be living almost outside, with street noise from a main city street. After a day, I was asked to move to another building’s double room. It turned out to be a different hotel, but apparently owned by the same person. The bedding was the same, stained with all kinds of human marks. In that room the faucet was attached to the sink but there was no water pressure. The shower existed, but the shower head was clogged like the first room and water didn’t flow through the holes; it leaked over and sideways. That room also lacked cleaning supplies, even soap. After this experience I was deeply disappointed with Booking reviews—I was the only one to see this nightmare, so the reviews must be wrong.
