If you're for short-term visit in Samarkand and have lack of time for gastronomy researching, you can visit this place. Very big assortment of local and foreign foods. Pretty average kitchen, not the best tastes, very poor service.
Nice place to stay if you've been in Samarkand before, or visiting it not as tourist, but for other issues, kinda business. Pretty far from historical places of interest, located closer to native people living regions. Nice guest house, comfortable rooms. Of course less service than in hotels. But good enough for couple of days stay.
Very close to biggest retail stores
Higher than average staff, trying to do best for clients. Good Korean food. Not the best design and atmosphere. But still it's the place i always go at my every visit to Samarkand
