The courtyard makes the trip
We came for the monuments and remember the breakfasts. Rustam met us at the airport at 3am without being asked twice, and the room stayed cool through a 38-degree day.

Ten minutes from the Registan on foot but completely quiet at night. The hosts organised train tickets to Bukhara when the website would not take my card.

Small, honest, well run
Eleven rooms and someone always at the desk. The Thursday plov is worth planning your week around, and they let us keep the room until the evening train.

I brought my parents for Navruz. Real Samarkand hospitality, and the courtyard concert was the part they still talk about.

Travelling alone as a woman I felt completely at ease. Good wifi, laundry back the same day, and the walking tour with Aziz was better than anything I booked online.

A real house, not a hotel imitating one. Breakfast on the low table, apricots from the bazaar, and hosts who speak four languages between them.

The Afrosiyob from Tashkent takes two hours and sells out. Buy early; here is how.

When to come to Samarkand, month by month
April and October are the honest answers. Here is what the other ten months are actually like.
The neighbourhood
Getting here
Ten minutes on foot to the Registan, five to Gur-e-Amir, and the airport is a twenty minute drive.
