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
Well… our pre-arrival communication, offering meet and greet at the airport and complimentary transfer services, great tips for the main attractions in Samarkand and beyond, including local’s insights where and what to eat like locals were above and beyond our initial expectations. Muhammad (who happened to be hotel owner’s son) – a manager of the hotel did his best to simply offer an outstanding hospitality we could have for the first time visit to beautiful and historic city of legendary Amir Timur. Not by accident, the hotel is nicely located at the heart of the city on the street also named after the great warrior, next to Navai park, shopping center and easy to reach distance to the main attractions and historic sites. Rooms are nicely designed and decorated with historic motives, very clean and well maintained, with daily service available instantly at one’s phone call. Staff was always available, helpful and cheerful, helped us a lot with booking taxis, restaurants and providing guidance. Breakfast was really good, also including local delicacies, with fresh fruits and vegetables, even including specially delivered mountain honey and local walnuts / dried fruits. Sorfinaz (hotel’s chef) offered a great local dessert made of quince, topped with butter, honey and walnuts – an unforgettable experience. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for a great experience in 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
Everything was exceptional!
The decorations and ambience in the hotel and rooms are really nice, with everything needed. The breakfast was awesome and the staff was really helpful with everything - they arranged a pick up from the airport early in the morning, a transfer to the train station when we had to leave, and gave recommendations about some sights to see that we hadn't considered before. Last, but not least, the location is perfect - in a quiet street, right in the heart of the city.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, brand-new hotel. The staff were incredibly lovely—so kind and thoughtful, always going above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and had everything we needed. It truly felt like being in a warm family environment. The location was also perfect, just a short walk from the main historical sites. I’m really grateful for their generous hospitality!
