Having gained independence in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan is a young country. But the roots of this vast land are ancient.
For centuries, this area of land was a major crossroads along the Silk Road – an age-old trading route that stretched all the way from China to the Mediterranean. Samarkand, one of three major cities dotted along the road, contains so many architectural feats from this period that it has been classed entirely as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See for yourself at the Registan, a wide plaza bordered by three mosaic-covered madrassas (religious schools) with bright turquoise domes. To the west, Bukhara offers similarly impressive landmarks, including the ruins of a 5th-century royal compound known as the Ark, while the walled city of Khiva further north is the most remote but best-preserved of the Silk Road cities. Here you’ll find stunning mosques, mausoleums and palaces towering over a labyrinth of streets. But there’s more to Uzbekistan than ancient history. Tashkent, the urban capital in the eastern region, is refreshingly cosmopolitan, while in the far north you can visit the Aral Sea – formerly one of the world’s largest lakes now on the verge of disappearing completely.
Hotels and guesthouses are aplenty in the capital, as well as in the Silk Road cities. Accommodation is quite limited elsewhere.

Guest review
An amazing hotel. The management were extremely attentive to our needs throughout, including little touches such as organising free transport to the station and, in the evening, a free glass of wine. The museum decor is unique and nice to see. The hotel is in walking distance of most sights as well as some nice bars (try Blues Bar). Highly recommended if visiting Samarkand.

Sarhad Hotel offers accommodation in Bukhara. Featuring a terrace, the 3-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom.
Guest review
The hotel is located in an excellent location. We wanted to book a double bedroom, but at the time of the booking it was not available, so we went for a family room. The bedroom was exceptional: beautiful, curated in every detail, modern, new. The hotel itself is amazing, I think it has been recently opened o renovated in a old building. I had the feeling of being in a beautiful museum. The staff was super kind and polite and prepared for us a box with some food since we were leaving very early in the morning. We didn’t ask for this and it was a pleasant surprise. It’s the best hotel were I stated during my trip in Uzbekistan.

Located in Bukhara, Hotel Times offers a bar. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property.
Guest review
This charming, family-owned hotel exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with an incredible level of warmth, care, and genuine hospitality that’s hard to put into words. Every time we passed through the reception, a member of the family would greet us with a smile and ask how our day was going.
We spent many memorable moments chatting with one of the owners about Bukhara, local restaurant recommendations, and even about our respective countries. These conversations felt sincere and personal — a rare and beautiful experience.
Breakfast was another highlight of our stay: homemade, using fresh local ingredients, and absolutely delicious. It felt like a true taste of the region.
Beyond the wonderful hosts and breakfast, the location and rooms were also perfect — comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed.
In over 30 years of traveling, this is truly one of the best small hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommended!

Featuring a bar, Khiva Siyovush Hotel is situated in Khiva. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
Guest review
This is really 10+ out of 10. Not only was this hotel the nicest I stayed in during my Uzbekistan trip (and with the nicest breakfast), but what Siyovush and his family have done in terms of arts and crafts with this place is beautiful. Due to a delayed flight I received lots of tips and advice, actually he went above and beyond in getting me back to Tashkent and still enjoying my stay. Clean everywhere (with a "shoes off" policy beyond the reception desk, nice balcony and the bedsheets were especially clean and freshly scented.

Clean, the room is big, walkin distance to everything. Quite neighbourhood. The staff is super nice. So much selection for buffet breakfast. The bed is comfortable. The room is exceptionally clean, and its generous size provides ample space. Being within walking distance of various amenities adds significant convenience.
