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.

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 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
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
Generous breakfasts, beautiful interior with rugs made by the grandma, and the best personal family-like care I’ve ever received! I got sick one of the nights we stayed there and the very kind son looked after me and checked with my partner to ask if I needed any medicine or food or if he could help in any way. We had a long train ride to Bukhara the next day, and without asking, he made me potato pancakes so I’d have something to eat on the train if I felt better. It was incredible to be so well taken care of in a foreign place! The location was also incredibly close to everything, the beds were comfortable, the shower was delightful. Highly recommend!

Kamil of receiption followed us as a tour guide and it was very interesting to have somebody to explain the culture and heritage sites, so in short time we could make a good view of this wounderful city. He also arranged the food and car and recommended nice restaurants.
To be recommended.
