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.

Everything was perfect! Great breakfast, lovely rooms, wonderful central location. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful and very attentive to all details of our stay - the complementary fruit, wine and even the transfer to the airport on our day of departure. I can thoroughly recommend this hotel and will certainly book here for all future trips to Samarkand!!

Guest review
We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay in Bukhara. The hotel was in a very central location, the room quite spacious and clean, and the breakfasts AMAZING. The best in our trip by far. Most importantly, our hosts were extremely warm, hospitable, and helpful. From lending us umbrellas to finding us a great local tour guide, to providing tips on local restaurants. We fully recommend Times Hotel without any hesitation.

DUSTON Boutique XIX century rooms provides accommodation in Bukhara. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace.
Guest review
Location is perfect, on quiet street but just a few steps by walking to all the places and restaurants. The Google shown us longer route everyday, before we left, we realize the short way, however on Google it's a deadend road. We should have asked the staff. Variety of breakfast, but if make some changes each day would be perfect. Room is spacious, could consider to sofa to make it more comfortable. There is sitting area outside room but could be too could I beginning Of November. The house itself was very beautiful. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. We love the stay.

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.

Set in Tashkent, Home Boutique Hotel features a shared lounge. The hotel offers city views, a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.
Guest review
The place is significantly better than what I expected. New, clean, modern place with a small outdoors area for breakfast (which is great). Close to metro, restaurants, but it is in a back street so it is quiet. The staff is the nicest I have met in the country (and that says something as everybody is super nice), very professional and helpful beyond expectations. Very strong recommendation.

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. The neighborhood's tranquility is certainly a welcome aspect for a relaxing stay. Furthermore, the staff's kindness and helpfulness enhance the overall experience. The wide selection available for buffet breakfast is definitely an added bonus to this great place.
