Colibri traditional hotel — Hotel in Samarkand City

Good choice!||We stayed two nights in the 12beds room. The room was nice and tidy, a.c. was working properly and everyone got a nice bed, with curtains to have some privacy. In the room there are two bathrooms, and both are clean and with functioning showers. There is wifi and you can chill in the courtyard, which is really nice and relaxing. ||The hostel is not too far from the center and you can reach the incredible Registan in 45 minutes walking. Bear in mind, in summer Samarkand is scorching hot, so it would be better to take a yandex or a bus, asking for Amir Temur. The starting point for the bus is very close to the hostel.||We didn't try the breakfast, so we can't comment about that.||The host is exceptionally clear and talkative, and can speak english at a really good level|He was keen to help us, underlying the main itinerary in Samarkand and suggesting us a really nice restaurant close to the hostel. Really, the host really knows how to make his job.||Now, two little notes, amongst all the positive things we mentioned, both notes are referred to the 12 beds room.||There are no lockers in the room, but the host was willing to help us, keeping in his office our valuable stuff. He also mentioned that there are plans of adding Lockers soon. The room is very (very) close to the street, so at night you can hear noises from the car passing by. You can sleep quietly with earplugs, but it's something worth to mention. There are plugs to charge your phone close to the bed, and that's nice.||All in all a...

Colibri Traditional Hotel blends warm Uzbek hospitality with tasteful design in a lovely courtyard setting. The charming family-run guest house is impeccably clean with comfy beds and thoughtful amenities. Each morning, guests enjoy one of the best breakfasts in Samarkand—homemade jams, fresh tea, and traditional dishes served under grape and cherry vines. Abduaziz and his family are known to go out of their way for guests, whether arranging vegetarian meals or offering insider tips for exploring. For solo travelers, couples, or budget-conscious visitors, this place offers unbeatable value. A short taxi ride brings you to historic gems like Registan and Gur‑Emir. While the Wi‑Fi is generally decent, expect occasional dropouts—especially if you’re in the dorms. Rooms away from the courtyard are quieter, and staff availability may fluctuate outside typical hours. Overall, Colibri offers a lovely balance of authenticity, comfort, and affordability.

This is a true hostel experience where you can feel the warmth of a local Uzbek family environment 🤗. The owner himself takes care of everything—guiding you about the city, food, and anything you need to know. The check-in service is available 24/7, but payment is only in cash 💵. The hostel is close to the city center, and if you’re arriving by bus or train, taking a taxi is easy and not expensive 🚖. I didn’t use much public transport during my stay.

They also provide laundry service 🧺, and the rooms are clean and very spacious. It’s a mixed dorm (male & female). If you’re a cat lover 🐱, this is the perfect place—the owner loves cats and you’ll surely enjoy their company.

Another good thing is that if you arrive late at night and want to eat, there are many options available until midnight 🌙🍴. The area is very safe, and I even walked alone on my first day without any problem 🚶‍♂️✨.

Note: Outside, there are a few street dogs 🐕, but they’re very friendly. Just don’t try to become too friendly...
