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.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel! From the very beginning, I was impressed by the polite and helpful attitude of the staff—they truly care about their guests. The hotel’s interior was beautifully designed in a national style, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Guest review
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.

It completely exceeded our expectations and was by far the best hotel on our trip. The staff are so friendly and courteous and helpful. The room was large, comfortable and spotless. The bathroom was great, the shower perfect (especially for someone tall!). We will happily be coming back next time we're in Samarkand.

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.
