Stay with History – Bibikhanum Hotel
-
During my stay in the Blue City of Samarkand, I stayed at the beautiful Bibi Khanum Hotel, located right next to the Bibi Khanum Mosque.
Whenever I opened my room door, I could see the mosque's sparkling blue tiles, and I felt as if I was immersed in history.
The hotel itself was beautiful, with its carved woodwork and courtyard. The breakfast in the breakfast room, where light poured in through the large windows, was truly luxurious. Of course, I could enjoy my meal while looking out at the Bibi Khanum Mosque across the street.
The dishes were simple yet colorful and fresh, including bread, cheese, and fruit. It was the perfect morning to start my trip.
The interior of the breakfast room was also just as beautiful as the Bibi Khanum Mosque across the street. The ceilings, walls, and chandeliers were all ornate, typical of Central Asia.
Please note that breakfast times differ between weekdays and weekends.
I was able to use the bathroom in my guest room without any problems. All the amenities are well-equipped.
The staff takes turns cleaning the room every afternoon, making for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is located in the heart of the Old City, within walking distance of the Registan Square, Shah-i-Zinda Mausoleum, and Siyob Bazaar.
I visited at the end of August, and the sun was strong and hot during the day, so returning to the hotel to rest between sightseeing was the perfect way to relax.
Due to its convenient location and beautiful scenery, the hotel is very popular with many foreign tourists. When I stayed there, there were several Japanese guests there as well.
If you are taking a taxi to the hotel, you will be dropped off just before the alley, so the entrance may be a little difficult to find. Follow the narrow road next to Bibi Khanum Mosque and you will see a small sign that says "BIBIKHANUM."
Many tourist attractions are within walking distance of the hotel, making it convenient for sightseeing, and the views are amazing!!! I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.
This hotel made my trip to Samarkand even more memorable.
Payment is made on site, so be sure to have Uzbek or US dollars ready.
