Top Samarkand Hotel Reviews

Mövenpick Samarkand

Mövenpick Samarkand

8/10 Good
"I stayed at Mövenpick Samarkand for two nights in July 2026 in a standard room with a double bed. The hotel is in a very convenient location, making it easy to get around Samarkand's main attractions. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. However, the water temperature of the shower was inconsistent, fluctuating between cold and very hot, with no way to regulate it using the tap. We informed the reception staff about the problem, and they said someone would come to inspect it, but unfortunately, no one ever did during our stay."
