A cozy hotel, it seemed to us, in an oriental style. Good breakfast, friendly staff. It's a long way to the center, walking through not very picturesque places. Food outlets and shops are also not nearby.
Malika Classic is a very wonderful, cozy and clean hotel. The staff is very polite, the kitchen is delicious. Words cannot describe the beauty of the hotel, it needs to be seen in person. Score 10 points out of 5 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A CALM, CUTE LITTLE HOTEL TO VISIT...
the hotel left a pleasant impression and really decorated our vacation. A cozy spacious room, a clean bathroom with a bathtub, a cute green courtyard, a separate respect for the administrator Hovayun and the girls who served at the hotel.
The yard is designed so that shade and at least some coolness can always be found during the day.
The hotel is not in the very center, near the busy Uzbek street, but Registan, for example, is about forty minutes on foot. 20 minutes to Navoi Park. Taxis are very cheap in Uzbekistan in general, so any point in Samarkand was quite accessible from the hotel quickly enough, even from the airport (a beautiful new building in the form of an open book, showing all the constellations of the Zodiac from above at night) only 25 minutes away. From 8000 to 25000 SOM in any direction by Yandex Taxi!
The only thing in the hotel is, in fact, there is no functioning restaurant (breakfast is, of course, but the same and not very diverse, at the same time sufficient, boiling water was provided almost around the clock). Within walking distance there is a barbecue courtyard, Fedya shashlik (teahouse), a cafe-pastry shop, a mantyshnaya and a supermarket Optovik.uz , which contains a lot of food, including from Russia. There is a pharmacy nearby, to the left on Uzbekistanskaya Street.
The ruble / dollar exchange rate is about 63.30. For 1 ruble they gave from 160 to 170 som, for $ 100 - one million fifty thousand som. The Visa card almost does not work anywhere, the WORLD is in places. There are money changers who take rubles well, near the bazaar station and the Siab market, there are ATMs that issue som cash from the world.
The Mobiuz SIM card was bought at the airport and we are happy with the connection / Internet - it worked without any roaming in Tashkent and Bukhara.
We flew to Tashkent, but if we had tickets, we could take the Afrosiab high-speed train (only 2 hours conditionally, and Tashkent). That's exactly how we went to Bukhara on high-speed (1.5 hours) - a buzz.
The hotel does not have a swimming pool, it is in the Uzbek style, but we visited the country Babylon water park (three for him, the pool is opaque, a lot of pampering youth and as a water park zero in fact) and the Marokand spa near the airport (four points, but five points to the hamam Ulugbek, a Turk from birth).
In general, the hotel itself, I repeat, decorated our time in Uzbekistan.
