Nice hotel but has faults -such a shame
Pros:

Location was great, the building has great architecture. It right round the corner from Amir Temur’s mausoleum. So very central. 24 hour reception is good if you get the train and it arrives at 4am like ours..do get them to book a cab if that’s the case.

Cons:

It was odd, breakfast was poor, we had to constantly ask for items to be refilled - butter, bread, yogurt, glasses you could order eggs but they didn’t tell you etc the food was good but let down by a lack of initiative. A pet hate of mine is no toilet bush, only one toilet paper we had to ask for water each night. The hot water wasn’t hot..and it was old fashioned plus cost more per night than our other uzbeck hotels

Centraal gelegen hotel.
Pros:

De ligging was goed, centraal en stil. Het is enigszins gedateerd. Dat zie je aan alles. Maar gewoon een prima hotel. Mooi gelegen dicht bij een park en het mausoleum van Temur op 2 minuten lopen. En je loopt ook zo naar Registan.

Cons:

Een beetje gedateerd. Dat zag je niet op de goto’s.

Er zijn betere plekken!
Pros:

De locatie is op zich wel okay. Op loopafstand van het plein.

Cons:

We sliepen 2 nachten in L’Armarak. Ik had dit geboekt omdat ik dacht dat we hier wat luxe zouden vinden. Maar nu bleek dit ons duurste hotel voor de minste comfort. De kamer was vreselijk smal en de badkamer nog erger. Er zit schimmel aan de badrand, een smerig douchegordijn moet de vloer droog houden maar door lekkage was alsnog de hele badkamer drijfnat. Er was geen warm water, nadat ik 15 minuten had gewacht wilde ik naar beneden bellen, maar de telefoon was stuk, dus moest ik mij aankleden om beneden te vertellen waar ik tegenaan liep. De receptionist stuurde mij weg met een “hij doet het wel, je moet gewoon wat aan de knoppen draaien”. Dus uiteindelijk een koude douche gehad. Er is geen haakje voor de douchekop, dus je hebt een tweede persoon nodig om de douche vast te houden als je je haar wil wassen. Toen ik na de onaangename ochtend bij de receptie aan een tweede jongeman uitsprak dat de douche koud was, beweerde hij weer dat ik 5 minuten had moeten wachten - wat ik had gedaan. Het irriteerde me dat er niet met me meegedacht werd. Ik heb de eigenaar gemaild en die zei dat het water inderdaad koud was en dat het gefixt zou worden. In de avond was het water idd warmer. Helaas hadden ze niet even twee nieuwe flesjes water neergezet bij het opmaken van het bed. Het zit em in de kleine dingen en daar slaat dit hotel de spijker mis. Al met al een teleurstellende ervaring in dit hotel, nadat we veel mooiere en goedkopere hotels bezocht hebben in Oezbekistan. Onze buren klaagden ook dat het bed te hard was en de douche koud. Ik raad dit hotel niet aan. Er zijn echt veel leukere en betere plekken in Samarkand. Ik heb er spijt van dat ik voor dit hotel gekozen heb.

Attempted scam, poor ventilation
Pros:

The majority of the staff were pleasant, it is in a very walkable location and the garden outside is beautiful. The breakfast spread was good and service was attentive.

Cons:

The reception staff attempted to scam us at reception by overcharging 20% and hoping we did not notice. When I pointed out the error he incorrectly pointed out that he had converted from euros not USD, which still would have been 10% overcharged. See previous reviews where they have tried this before/used the exact same excuse and be vigilant when paying. I am 99% sure we were still overcharged the tourist tax even after this.

Reception staff were pleasant to my partner but rude to my throughout/never really made any attempt to apologise for either the room or attempted scam.

Ventilation was non existent in the bathroom so we were forced to open both the hallway door and window to clear smells / humidity.

We were given a room on the ground floor facing a brick wall (under one metre from window) so there was zero natural light. When we asked to move we were only offered the chance to pay 50 extra a night for a more premium room despite the previous guests in our room having been moved to a better view while we checked in (we overheard them complaining about the room as we waited and which we were subsequently given).

Check in was delayed by 30 minutes due to the last minute room shift.

Breakfast is served outside which would be lovely in summer but in 10 degrees it was odd wearing winter coats to eat cold - albeit high quality - food.

Given the above we do not recommend and regret booking. It was the poorest value hotel of our two weeks in the country. Reading all the other reviews, it is clear that those in the same room as us had different experiences to those assigned garden facing ones/are being significantly overcharged.

A good hotel in a great location with very friendly staff.
Pros:

Staff were brilliant and able to give us all the advice that we needed to make our visit most enjoyable.

Location is good for visiting some of the major cultural and historical sites in Samarkand. In particular, the Emir Timur Mausoleum and Registan Square can be reached by foot. Other sites may require short and inexpensive taxi rides and hotel staff were always happy to book these on our behalf on a fixed price basis.

Nothing was too much trouble for the superb front desk team.

Cons:

The indoor dining room that is used for breakfast (when it’s too cold to sit in the delightful courtyard), needs upgrading and improving.

Однозначно, если будем в Самарканде, то вновь выберем эту гостиницу и будем советовать друзьям.
Pros:

Отличная небольшая гостиница, в сердце Самарканда, где чувствуется трепетное отношение как владельцев, так и сотрудников к своему делу. Спокойно, красиво. Уютный дворик, утопающий в зелени, возможность воспользоваться террасой и посидеть с видом на старый город. Вкуснейшие завтраки!
Спасибо всем сотрудникам за заботу, гостеприимство м помощь во всех вопросах! Отдельное спасибо Тимуру и Максиму!

Cons:

Замечаний нет

Beautiful and homey stay in the heart of Samarkand
Pros:

Centrally located and a walking distance from the main attractions. The hotel gives a homey feeling and is very artfully decorated. The breakfast is superb.

Cons:

Not the best option for people with a walker or with any disability. There are no lifts and there are no walking showers.

Genteel and lovely hot Ed l in a brilliant location
Pros:

Very peaceful hotel but in a very good location to walk to the main sights. Although relatively newly constructed, l’Argamak has a very old-fashioned charm. The team are very helpful though out our stay. Everything was b ‘n There are a few excellent restaurants within a short distance.

Cons:

Beyond bedrooms and a lovely central garden there seemed to be few other activities for guests in the hotel.

Prima hotel, jammer dat ze rommelen met de afrekening.
Pros:

Hele goede locatie in het centrum.

Cons:

Pas op met dit hotel. Ze rommelen met de wisselkoersen en de lokale belastingen. Een en ander resulteert erin dat er aanzienlijk meer wordt afgeschreven van je creditcard dan Booking aangeeft. Je krijgt dan een verhaal dat dat ligt aan de wisselkoersen, maar een verschil van 10% of meer ligt natuurlijk niet aan wisselkoersen. Let ook op dat je geen kamer op de begane grond naast de receptie krijgt. Die kamers zijn zeer gehorig. De kamers op de eerste en tweede verdieping zijn prima.

Персонал сгладил все минусы своим вниманием и заботой
Pros:

Прекрасный, радушный персонал, симпатичный уютный дворик - сад, где проходят завтраки. Завтраки прекрасные. Расположение хорошее, до всего главного пешком можно дойти

Cons:

Комнаты были перед кирпичной стеной, в них не попадал даже свет, не то что солнце. Приходилось с утра сразу включать электричество

Pros:

The location was great, very close to Gur-i Amir Сomplex and within walking distance to Registan square. The outdoor sections of the hotel are quite aesthetically pleasing. Were also brought complimentary fruit when having a midday rest from the heat.

Cons:

Our bathroom was disappointing. The shower and the sink tap were borderline unusable. The water pressure, and volume that were coming out were really poor. The shower was lukewarm to cold. I discussed this with the staff and they said they would look into it, but never did. Considering the price, I would have expected more. Due this, I would not return to the hotel.

Staff here were very helpful and charming. Strong recommend.
Pros:

Great location, just a walk from Registan. I liked being next to the Amir Timur mausoleum. Lovely courtyard with fruit trees, where delicious breakfast is served. Comfortable room.

Cons:

Don’t be put off by the entrance being on a small side street, it’s a residential street and a very short distance to the entrance to Amir Timur mausoleum.
