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
I really like everything about the property, the location, the room with a courtyard, the breakfast and the staff! A wholehearted THANKS to Farrux, the staff who checked me in and helped me book the train tickets! And the other staff, quite young, helped guests with coffee and everything during breakfast. They are so kind, warm and helpful! I traveled alone but I really feel at home in this hotel. Will definitely come here again every time I come to Bukhara! Thank youuuuu.

DUSTON Boutique XIX century rooms in Bukhara has 3-star accommodation with a terrace.
Guest review
This is one of the most beautiful small hotel I have ever stayed at. It is located in the old city, restored with great care, but meets the requirements of the XXIst century. The rooms, the entire building amazing, the breakfast is plenty, delicious, freshly made eggs and pastries, fruits, jam, huge variety of teas, amazing.
What is also important is that the three young man managing it daily are extremely kind and professional. Anvar is especially great if you need to visit places outside of the old city: he is a great guide, a very good driver, and a super nice person. I will take the memory of staying here until I return - and I will for sure. Very highly recommended, 10/10.

Zumrad Boutique Hotel is set in Bukhara and features a bar. Featuring room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. Every room has a balcony.
Guest review
The owners and staff are really friendly, helpful and hospitable. Although we arrived in the morning, they allowed us to check into our rooms early to have an early rest after a red eye flight.
The rooms are beautifully designed and extremely clean. Do note that the hotel does not have a lift so if you have mobility issues, do request for ground floor rooms.
Request for transfer to the airport and train station were handled by them too and the vehicles provided were new and could fit our group of 8 pax and all our luggages as well!
Breakfast is local style and really tasty 😋 Do try the restaurant recommended down the road as it has one of the best skewers in town!
Rooms also matched with the photos on the website.

Guest review
Upon check in there was an issue with one of the rooms, and I had to wait in the lobby for it to be fixed. The staff was more than gracious with the compliments that they offered, including a free dinner and no supplemental charges for my son who decided to stay with me. Nothing more, or less to be said. Management knows what they are doing, and so does the staff.
