Location, staff, modern rooms

Stayed in April 2025

Staying at the Zarafshon Parkside was a delightful experience. The location couldn’t have been better— close to Central Park and Registan Square. The hotel is a heritage property that has been continuously renovated and updated since 2022, so it felt both historic and modern. Our room was incredibly comfortable, and the highlight of our stay was relaxing at the pavilions in the charming garden. The breakfast was also delicious, and the staff were some of the warmest and most helpful we encountered on our trip. It was the perfect place to soak in the magic of Samarkand!

It is a dry hotel. A few bus tours coming through

We had a suite that had a fabulous balcony - lots of space to decompress! Lovely swimming pool although the water is a touch brisk!

The Hotel was amazing, very kind and helpful staff, transfer from the airport was great and free, delicious breakfast, clean room, people at the reception always ready to help with any questions: to prepare lunchbox, call the taxi etc. Hotel exceeded my expectations. Very convenient location in the centre. Next time we will stay definitely there!

The swimming pool was not working and we didn’t know about it, I would suggest to the hotel to mention this in the description during the bookings,

The overall experience at this hotel was great, loved every bit of it, the staff members were super friendly and helpful, the hotel feels like a palace and it’s relatively near to important places and restaurants

The air conditioning wasn't turned on in the hotel even when it was very hot. My only recourse was to leave the windows open.

Superb location. Spacious, comfortable, clean rooms. Very helpful reception staff.

Not much to do at the hotel. The pool is seasonal, so in March it is not in use . Wish there was a hammam/sauna to relax after a long day of sightseeing and a bar, another restaurant for more lively ambiance. Given the room rate and the size of the property, you will expect more facilities.

Large and comfortable bedroom, great balcony with nice view on the garden. Very clean and with attention to detail. Calm neighbourhood. Breakfast was good.

It’s funny but while mini bar is free but you have to pay for water bottles.

Great location, great staff, kids friendly.

"Zarafshon Parkside has an excellent location, and the hotel itself is both clean and elegantly designed. In terms of price-performance, it’s truly outstanding. A special mention to the hotel manager, "Can Bey", for his warm welcome. We were greeted in our room with a thoughtful gift of Uzbekistan’s legendary fresh nuts, which was such a lovely touch. Additionally, since our flight to Turkey was at 6 AM, the hotel arranged for our last day’s breakfast to be provided as a takeaway lunchbox—a very considerate gesture that we deeply appreciated. Highly recommended!"

Nothing. It would be good to have a sauna or hammam.

The staff both at the hotel and restaurant are wonderful. They enliven the place!

We loved our stay at the Zarafshon. Located a bit outside of the old city, the hotel is quiet with a very nicely landscaped space in the back for reading, sitting, and swimming. We enjoyed our breakfasts each morning, and also made use of the nice gym. Our room was comfortable, clean, and had good wifi. Staff were very helpful, accomadating, and friendly. When we were accidentally overcharged for dinner, they saw to it that everything was resolved over email including covering me when my card was charged for international money transfer. There are some good restaurants and cafes near by and the walk to downtown can partially be made via a nice long tree-lined route.

Calm, cool, clean

The air conditioning cut out one night, but this was fixed relatively quickly.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Zarafshon hotel. The property looks grand, from the entrance to the rooms. Our room was sufficiently large, with a large and comfortable bed. Despite the summer heat the air conditioning worked well and we had a good night's rest. The bathroom was large and clean, with a good working shower. Breakfast was comprehensive. We also had a wonderful time at the pool, where we were served delicious non-alcoholic cocktails. All the other staff was helpful as well. The hotel is close to most attractions in Samarkand and several restaurants, and the city is quite walkable.

The no alcohol served on the property came as a surprise. But, we bought our own and stocked the fridge in pur rooms. It did mean we didn't use the restaurant at the hotel for lunch or dinner though.

One of the best hotels I have even stayed in. Everything is exceptionally good. The rooms are outstanding. The terraces of the rooms are huge.

The swimming pool is quiete cold. The price is a bit expensive, for me 20% more than what it should be
