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 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.

DUSTON Boutique XIX century rooms in Bukhara has 3-star accommodation with a terrace.
Guest review
Room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was good. The best part of the stay was the receptionists Beck, Jacob and all the others. They were extremely helpful and thoughtful, always asking how our stay was doing and if we needed anything. For sure this is a place I highly recommend, not only for the great location and comfy rooms, but mainly for the top tier service they provided.

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.

Featuring a bar, Khiva Siyovush Hotel is situated in Khiva. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
Guest review
The hotel owner was incredibly kind and always available at the front desk, whether it was morning or night. Their thoughtful gestures made our trip truly enjoyable and fulfilling. They were happy to assist with requests such as arranging taxis to other areas, and the rooms were impeccably clean. The owner frequently checked in on us and was consistently friendly and helpful.
The complimentary breakfast was also excellent, and when we couldn’t have breakfast before our Aral Sea tour, they prepared a lunch box for us. Even when we caused a bit of inconvenience, they responded graciously. This is truly an outstanding hotel, and I highly recommend it.
