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.

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
Hotel Times is a home away from home. You are treated like family and the wonderful owner Gulya, her husband Shukrat and brother-in-law Erkin give a gracious and warm welcome. The rooms are spacious and spotless and very quiet. The hotel is just a three minute walk to the main sights, just perfect. The breakfast is amazing as Gulya makes sure to include some traditional Uzbek cuisine. Hotel Times is the epitome of Uzbekistan hospitality. It is a very very special place.

Guest review
The hotel is very new. The design is modern yet with local flair, and makes for a very attractive aesthetic overall. Room itself was large, clean and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond providing incredible personal service throughout my unfortunately short stay, setting up a wonderful breakfast spread. All staff involved were attentive, considerate and kind. Value for money is unmatched here. This hotel is a main attraction for my return to Bukhara.

Guest review
One of the best hotels I stayed at in Uzbekistan. The owner was present and went above and beyond to create a warm, friendly atmosphere. He even helped us find amazing local cuisine, steering us away from tourist traps and into authentic dining experiences. Thanks to him and the entire team, we had unforgettable memories of Bukhara and Uzbekistan. Hope to return one day!

Guest review
Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful — fresh, varied, and delicious every morning. The staff were incredibly attentive and caring, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a lovely complimentary fruit plate, and fresh bottled water was provided daily. The furniture throughout the hotel is brand new and modern, and a pleasant, subtle fragrance fills every space. The rooms are bright and airy with very comfortable mattresses, making for an excellent night's sleep. The lobby is spacious and impressive, and the cozy inner courtyard is a perfect spot to relax.

Hotel B&S Samarkand Boutique has free bikes, seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a garden and bar in Samarkand. This 3-star hotel offers room service and luggage storage space.
Guest review
We had a wonderful stay at BS Billuri Sitora in Samarkand and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
The room was excellent — clean, comfortable, and well presented — and the bed was very comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a long day exploring Samarkand. The staff were lovely throughout our stay: very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, always happy to help and make sure we had everything we needed.
Breakfast was also a real highlight. There was a very good spread with plenty of choice, including pastries, sweets, fresh fruits, eggs, sausage, egg bread, somsa, and other options. It was a great way to start the day.
Overall, BS Billuri Sitora offered excellent comfort, warm hospitality, and great service. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Guest review
This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. All the facilities are new and of very good quality. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, especially Fredie, and the location is actually very close to some major historical sites: Hazrat Khizr Mosque, next to which is the tomb of Uzbekistan's first president, the mausoleum complex of Shah-i-Zinda, and the Bibi-Khanym Mosque (one of the largest mosques in the world at the time of its construction over 600 years ago). From the Bibi-Khanym Mosque, there is a pedestrian road to Registan Square, which is a 10-minute walk.
