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
The staff are very friendly. From the moment we walked in, they gave us their full attention. They gave us a tour of their beautiful museum display. Elegant! In the evening were were treated to a free glass of wine. The breakfast had a wide variety to select from. The coffee was good. We were given a free ride to the train station. Very clean hotel. Our room was big. The bed was soft(they ask you in advance if you would like a soft bed or more firm. This is a high level of detail for me! Nice!)

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 located in an excellent location. We wanted to book a double bedroom, but at the time of the booking it was not available, so we went for a family room. The bedroom was exceptional: beautiful, curated in every detail, modern, new. The hotel itself is amazing, I think it has been recently opened o renovated in a old building. I had the feeling of being in a beautiful museum. The staff was super kind and polite and prepared for us a box with some food since we were leaving very early in the morning. We didn’t ask for this and it was a pleasant surprise. It’s the best hotel were I stated during my trip in Uzbekistan.

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.

If you would like to experience a unique cultural hotel, this is the right chose. Beside this the hotel was near the city centre and most of the city sightseeing. The staff was very helpful and polite and regard their guest as part of their family. They have extended our checkout for 3 hours without any extra amount to be paid

Guest review
After an exhausting train journey and the stress of navigating the city to finally reach the hotel, we couldn't have wished for a better welcome. It all started with the relaxing and fragrant atmosphere of the lobby, followed by a reception that was not only professional but also incredibly kind and genuinely warm something we had never experienced before.
We travel a lot, but we truly can’t recall receiving such thoughtful and exceptional treatment. Temur is amazing you’ll feel that for yourselves! An excellent communicator, with perfect English, proactive, and always willing to help.
We must also mention Chaqr (apologies if that’s not the correct spelling) and another staff member (sorry but dont remember the name)who kindly offered us tea well after we had checked out, when we returned to pick up our luggage. Truly exemplary staff unmatched, really.
And finally, we must highlight the breakfast: unique, unlike any other we've had so far, served in a space that would make many restaurants jealous. It far exceeded our expectations, even compared to stays around the world.
A heartfelt thank you.
