WELLFORT HOTEL — Hotel in Samarkand City

Just got back from Samarkand where we stayed at the WellFort Hotel for almost a week, and I honestly can't say enough good things about this place!

We were traveling with my mom who uses a wheelchair, so I was pretty nervous about accessibility. The front desk staff were amazing from day one - helping with our bags, always making sure my mom could get around easily, and even giving us free spring water bottles all the time (we drink like a fish, lol).

The rooms were way better than I expected. Super comfy beds and pillows, and they had tea setups and mini-fridges which was perfect for late-night snacks. During our stay, the power went out twice across the whole city, but we didn't even notice because their generators kicked in immediately.

Breakfast was INSANE. Seriously, we've traveled to 15+ countries and this was hands-down the best hotel breakfast we've had. Different options every day and everything was so fresh and delicious. We'd finish breakfast and already be excited about what they'd serve the next morning!

The kitchen staff deserves special mention too - whenever we wanted to eat outside, they'd set up a separate table just for us without any fuss. And instead of just handing us tea bags like most hotels, they'd bring full teapots when we asked. It's those little touches that show they really care about guest preferences rather than just doing the minimum.

One night my mom's wheelchair got a flat tire and we were panicking because we had tours planned for the next day. The maintenance guy (didn't catch his name) actually fixed it for us on the spot! Completely saved our trip.

The pool setup was a really nice surprise - you can reserve it just for your family at no extra cost. With the heatwave happening while we were there, they converted their hot tub into a cold plunge pool which was PERFECT after sweaty sightseeing days.

While it's not right in the center of the tourist area (which was actually great because it was quieter), there were tons of restaurants and shops nearby. We loved being able to walk to the folklore theater, the big park, and even a Pub Street with tons of bars and clubs that we enjoyed (about 15 min walk).

The front desk was incredibly helpful with arranging reliable taxis whenever we needed them and recommending/booking excursions that worked well with my mom's mobility needs. This saved us so much stress trying to figure out transportation in an unfamiliar city.

I was impressed that the owner was always present, working alongside the staff and personally making sure everything from cleanliness to service quality was top-notch. You don't see that kind of hands-on management very often.

One night we were really craving some beer, and even though it wasn't something they normally stocked, the staff somehow found some for us! It honestly felt like we were in some magical place where every random request was met with "no problem" and a genuine smile.

Not trying to sound over-the-top, but this place genuinely made our Samarkand trip special. My husband and mom keep talking about how we...

Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 and enjoyed it, would stay again given the good value for money.

PROS -15min taxi from the airport, it was practical as we arrived in the middle of the night and were able to quickly check-in (download Yandex for cheap taxis) -great A/C and amazing WiFi (managed to stream flawlessly) -comfortable beds and even more comfortable cushions -great shower -2 complimentary bottles of water per day per room -close to Pub Street which has a bit of nightlife (5min walk) -ATM around the corner but hotel takes credit card -breakfast was decent but got repetitive -Samarkand restaurant which is great is around the corner -English speaking staff

CONS -I like a pitch black room and here there was a lot of light arriving in the morning -didn't manage to get the TV to work (but also didn't care) -pool needs to be booked in advance for 1h slot, sauna needs to be paid for and it's in the lower ground. Didn't end up using. -it's a 40min walk to Ragestan, 25min to Amir Tamur's mausoleum so not that close but also not far either. We didn't mind the location as we like walking and taxis were...

🌟 Excellent Stay at Wellfort Hotel – Highly Recommended! 🌟

I recently stayed at Wellfort Hotel and had a truly fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect throughout my stay. Check-in was smooth, and I immediately felt at home.

The room was spotless, modern, and very comfortable, with all the amenities I needed — including fast Wi-Fi, a great shower, and a super comfy bed. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in the design and cleanliness.

Breakfast was another highlight — fresh, varied, and delicious, with both local and international options. The location of the hotel is also very convenient, close to shops, restaurants, and public transport, yet quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.

Overall, Wellfort Hotel exceeded my expectations. It’s a great value for the quality and service you get. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area — whether for business or...
