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.

Hotel is very well designed and looks very new. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was also very good. Just a walk away from the main attraction of Bukhara. It might be the best hotel I stayed in while 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
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.

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.
