"5 stars: friendly owner and staff, attentive, helpful; good breakfast, good location; ping pong table & parrots. 2 stars: the room (hot water in the shower wasn't working so I couldn't wash my hair, a guy came to "fix it" but I only got a few drops of water and not enough for showering properly). The bed was also very uncomfortable. It felt like sleeping on the floor. I have never slept on a harder bed. Felt like it had no matress. Also no real blanket, so cold at night."

"First the positives: clean, spacious room, good AC, friendly staff, close walking distance to the Registan, 5-10 min depending on your walking speed.

"We had a great stay and can highly recommend to come here. The owner and the staff are super friendly, the room was nice and clean in the breakfast excellent and freshly made. The owner of the hotel speaks English very well. All sights are in walking distance. We highly recommend to stay here."
