Ulasan Shohjahon Palace Hotel & Spa

We were very satisfied with our stay at this hotel. Although it’s rated 4 stars, it offers amenities and service comparable to some 5-star hotels. Our room was spacious, featuring a balcony, a spotless bathroom, and four complimentary bottles of water although we are a couple. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, arranging our private visit to the SPA and swimming pool, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Breakfast was delicious, with a wider and better selection than some nearby 5-star hotels. The only downsides were the location of the rooms, which are separate from the main building, the absence of an elevator, and open-air corridors connecting the rooms to the dining and SPA areas. This can be uncomfortable during colder months like February, so dressing warmly is advisable. This hotel is definitely THE BEST DEAL you can find in the area and it's just 10 minutes walk from the main attraction in Samarkand.

We really liked the hotel, it is not big, but very cozy with high-quality repairs. It is conveniently located on a quiet street. A 10-minute walk from Registan. Our room was spacious, two-room with a beautiful view of the courtyard. The administrators were friendly, they were in touch before the trip, clarified the details of the arrival. On the day of arrival, we ordered a sauna with a pool for an hour. The water is cool, you can’t swim for a long time (we were there in January). The sauna is paid 100 thousand soums per person per hour, you can use the pool for free. After a long journey, we liked this option. We met other hotel guests only at breakfast, and otherwise we could not hear anyone, which personally pleased us very much. We really wanted to take a break from the hustle and bustle. Another plus of a vacation in the off-season. Breakfasts are served in the neighboring building on the ground floor, in the form of a buffet from 7 to 10 in the morning. Everything was delicious. Lots of pastries, fruits, yogurts, pancakes, cheesecakes, sausages and cheese of several kinds, dried fruits and nuts, fried eggs on request and made coffee. After such a hearty breakfast, we had our second meal only in the evening. Special thanks to Dilya, she cooked everything with soul and home-style. She packed us lunch boxes, because on the day of departure we did not have time to have breakfast (there was an early flight). We were pleased with the trip to Samarkand. I recommend the hotel.

The room is small, the bed is small (is there a 1.2m one?) The bathroom is small, the toilet is the most basic one, and there is not even a toilet seat lid that can be lowered! The bathroom toiletries, bath liquids, and soaps are packaged roughly, and are three-no products. The bath towels are small and very hard! It does not meet the 4-star standard at all! The building we stayed in had no elevator! It's really confusing - how did it get 4 stars! Is it because of the swimming pool and Turkish bath? We did not experience these two items and cannot comment on them.

The room is spacious and the breakfast is rich. The hotel is located in the old city. There is a small courtyard inside the hotel, which is suitable for taking photos and checking in. The taxi map can locate the hotel. It is very convenient to take a taxi for shopping and eating in the surrounding area. It takes a few hundred meters to walk or take public transportation. The room furnishings and decoration are very new, and the service is also very good. They will take the initiative to help open the door and take the box. Overall, it is not bad, five-star praise!
