I just returned with my husband from a trip to Samarkand, and we stayed at the Rabat hotel. Fantastic, indescribable impressions of two hundred years of antiquity (the hotel is located in the historic district in a building protected by UNESCO). Friendly, welcoming and deeply erudite staff, creating the feeling of an oriental fairy tale filled with customs, legends and historical facts. Many thanks to Firdavs, Vlad, and Jihangir for a wonderful stay and a warm welcome! We're going to go back there again and again!

"Rabat is not just a hotel. It is a living house in which a century-old history breathes." If you are looking for a real, authentic place, choose this hotel in a historical corner of Samarkand. Everything here — from the convenient location to the delicious breakfasts and the warm, family-like staff — creates that magical atmosphere that catches the heart at first sight. My daughter and I were incredibly lucky: we got a two—room suite on the second floor with a veranda facing the dining room and ceiling beams that have been preserved since the original construction of this house. We fell asleep to the whisper of the wind in the leaves of a spreading tree in the courtyard, and woke up to the aromas of cooking breakfasts. And this courtyard! It's big and cozy, with a sprawling tree casting a lacy shadow in the summer heat. A parrot in a cage chirps merrily, turtle doves come to visit, and it's tempting to stretch out on a cot and wooden benches with a book or a bowl of fragrant tea. Warm bricks underfoot, carved doors creaking like in oriental fairy tales — it seems like any minute now, and you'll run barefoot through this courtyard, feeling every unevenness of the ancient masonry... The staff here is the very embodiment of cordiality. They respond immediately, with sincere willingness to help: they will tell you where to find the most delicious cafe with dishes of national cuisine, they will conduct a mini-tour of the house after breakfast (By the way, breakfasts are beyond praise: fresh, delicious fruits, homemade cottage cheese, sour cream, fragrant tea, nuts and dried fruits, fried eggs with herbs or omelet ...). The dining room is a separate story. Tall arched shutters, murals in which you can read like in a book, a carpet on which you walk with your bare feet, a massive chest with a barn lock... It seems as if the ornaments on the walls come to life and whisper mystical stories: a lot of signs in the wall ornaments that can be viewed for a long time, revealing something new, plus the mystical stories of the guests who visited here and felt the "place of power", told by Vladlen, will not leave anyone indifferent. The line between the hotel and the hospitable house of the old town is truly blurred here. Samarkand may change around you, but Rabat is like a drop of frozen time, carefully preserving the traditions and soul of the place. The only thing you regret is that time is running too fast here. You don't have time to absorb all this charm, to feel every corner... But maybe it's for the best? Now we have an ironclad reason to come back again. P.S. If it were possible to put a 5+, it would be a correct estimate.

The staff is very hospitable. We arrived late in the evening, froze in the rain. We were given tea and sweets. The rooms are cozy, not small. The beds are comfortable, the bed linen is fresh. A persimmon tree with fruits can be seen from the room window. The breakfasts are hearty and delicious. The location is excellent, Registan is a 10-minute walk away.

Lovingly restored old house in the center of Old Samarkand. The main attractions are within walking distance. Friendly hosts who solve all the problems that the guests have. It's like visiting your beloved relatives. Delicious, large breakfasts, excellent coffee from the coffee machine. Good wi-fi. The room is very clean, cleaned every day. I want to come back again. The hotel is much more interesting in its interior than in the photos presented in the account on booking.com ))

An authentic place with its own interesting story, which the owner will definitely tell you over a delicious breakfast. Quiet, calm, cozy. Clean rooms with all amenities, mini bar and regular cleaning. Good Wi-Fi, I had to work via video link. The kindest, caring and attentive staff. The place that you will definitely remember against the background of all the same type of hotels and apartments.

The location is the best to the historical monuments of the city. The hotel is located in the old town. The hotel itself can be called a museum. The manager kindly told the story of this house-museum, it was interesting as in a history lesson. The room itself is fresh and cozy. The staff is just gold. The breakfasts are great. I highly recommend this hotel. I felt like I was visiting friends, not at a hotel.

The best hotel I've been lucky enough to visit! Yes, and this place cannot be called a hotel - it is a house that you want to return to. A very cozy courtyard with tables and a cot that we loved so much. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, everything is clean and smells nice. The ornaments on the walls are incredibly beautiful. Special thanks to Vlad for an interesting tour of the history of the house. And to all employees for their cordiality, hospitality, for tea with sweets at any time of the day, etc., it's impossible to list everything. It's a wonderful place. We will definitely come back!

A place with an amazing atmosphere and energy! We had traveled to Uzbekistan for a week before, but this hotel overshadowed everything. A place where you feel not like a tourist, but a guest: carefully preserved historical interiors combined with quite Western comfort and true Oriental hospitality. Yes, this hotel is not only the walls, but also the people who put their soul into their work. My compliments and best wishes to the staff!

A great place with a convenient location and hospitable hosts. Here we were deliciously and nutritiously fed breakfast, given tea, given advice on where to eat shish kebab and shared other useful life hacks of Samarkand. I recommend it, the score is 10 out of 10. Rabat is the best modern caravanserai in Uzbekistan!

A great place with an interesting history. The rooms are very comfortable and I especially note the soothing and delicious breakfast. The hotel is equipped with two independent power supply lines, so if you were swinging in the dark, then this did not concern the hotel. And blackouts are a common practice in the city. The location is right next to the Registan and the market. Any attraction can be reached on foot.

We arrived at night, slept until lunch, but when we woke up we were offered our breakfast! It's nice! Hospitality and home comfort at the highest level! Guests are accepted there as relatives! We spent the whole day walking in the cold, and when we returned they brought us hot tea! Any questions, from the exchange of money to the appearance of a guide on the doorstep at the right time!

It's an amazing place. To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered such hospitality. Indeed, it felt like you had come home to relatives who were waiting for you. The warm welcome, politeness and correctness are beyond praise. Convenient location on a quiet street, a 5-minute walk from Registan Square, Bibi Khanum Mosque and the market. The rooms are clean and cozy. The bed is comfortable. The breakfasts are hearty and delicious. Pancakes with cherry jam are just fine. In the evening, you will be treated to tea with oriental sweets and will tell the story of this house. The historical interior of the room will not leave anyone indifferent. 100 points out of 5.

On New Year's Eve, the owner of the Firdavs hotel set a festive table and invited all the guests to the table.Many guests come here not for the first time. New Year's Eve was celebrated at a large New Year's table in a circle of good people. Thanks to Firdavs and his wife, Vlad and his mother for a good vacation in Samarkand.

I've been to an oriental fairy tale! A hotel with a history! Part of the building is protected by UNESCO, and has historical value! When you have breakfast in a hall that is more than 300 years old, it's just an indescribable feeling! Special thanks to the staff! The guys are just at the highest level!!! They know their business!! The lobby bar free is served with cold melon and watermelon when you return from a walk! Thank you very much, my journey would not have been so colorful and soulful without you!!! I wish you prosperity and peace in your exclusive hotel!!!
