Arba Hotel

Гостиница расположена, в центре города. рядом с Университетским бульваром, что делает его расположение очень удобным по направлению к туристическим местам города.

Thankfully, the bed was very comfortable (reviews state that beds in Uzbekistan are mostly hard . Good room, decent space and english speaking staff were available as well. Got a room with a second door that opens to the balcony. Tourist spots are a bit far, but taxi is available. There is a restaurant by them downstairs as well. They did consider my requests for iftar and suhoor, although they end up packing more non veg (I guess - I prefer to be vegetarian.. was missed out). Staff did help with lifting the luggage up and down the stairs, which was a relief. They do accept USD. They do have kettle and iron box. Few other restaurants are nearby as well.

Poor wifi connection - especially at night. There was no lift (just letting you know) The room service staff didn't pick up the garbage from the room the first day. Probably missed out since they did take the washroom trash out. I wasn't aware of the room service time, and the staff opened the room while i was in the room. Despite saying, give me a minute to change. Since the staff was a lady, i wasn't horrified, but still, they need to be patient if they realise someone is inside. Food needs to have better options for vegetarians since there are a lot of tourists who are skipping the country since veg options are not easily available. There was a smell inside the washroom whenever the toilet exhaust was kept off. Once you start using, it's okay as well.

Beautiful rooms, centrally located… near to almost all the historical monuments, 12 minutes from the Samarkand railways station… The interiors are very beautiful….

In a day twice of thrice the electricity would go off, no one bothered to turn on the power backup or generators.. it happened during the night also making it very uncomfortable for us to sleep….

Breakfast included in the hotel stay was good, room was clean, AC worked well, wifi, towels, hair dryer, water bottles, etc.

The breakfast schedule should be posted more conspicuously or clearly communicated to guests.

The location of the hotel was fantastic, right next to the Orthodox Church, the park, and only 20km a walk from Registan Square. Getting around Samarkand on foot is easy, even in hot weather! The restaurant (Istanbul) does excellent kebabs and coffee, and was very much appreciated by me after a long hot drive from Tashkent. The staff were also brilliant. I had a problem with the air conditioner (which turned out to be broken) on my first night. The staff kindly gave me a room upgrade as a result, and as a result I slept better, and felt great. Breakfast was great too - the spread is very large, well-prepared and tasty. There’s free water available as well, a blessing in temperatures of 40 Celsius and over.

Only the problem with the air conditioner on the first night, but that was sorted out quickly, and then some!

super clean and comfortable, with awesome view, would stay again
