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.

Set in Tashkent, Home Boutique Hotel features a shared lounge. The hotel offers city views, a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property.
Guest review
I selected the property based on numerous reviews and am happy to admit they were very accurate. Located on tiny little street runing perpenecular one of the busiest one, the hotel provides enough seclusion and quiteness for a good rest. It is fairly small, with a lovely courtyard where you can have an undisturbed breakfast.
The check-in takes literally seconds and the recption team is great and momentarily gives you a home-away-from-home impression, which is outstanding even for the city famous for its superb hospitality.
The room is spacious enough for 1 person and may prove a bit tiny for two pax but never mind. While there is no elevator in the hotel, the receptionist will surely give you a hand with the luggage. The room is well equipped and the only amenity missing is an ironing board but one can find it right in the lobby right next to the room.
The bed is huge and supercomfy, with bed sheets being new and fresh.
The bathroom is very spacious and the shower cabin is really huge, and the water supply is just great.
The A/C is quiet and works perfectly, so you are safe even at the peak of the hottest season (like I have just been).
The room seems to be soundproof enough (but this needs to be furthertested as I was in Tashkent at the peak of the low season).
The hotel team has been superattentive to all my needs: e.g. I had received a welcoming email prior to my departure for Tashkent inquiring any special requests, and as I have diteray restrictions, I was happy to share ones. Upon arrival, the team was quick to let me know they all were met, and indeed my breakfast was superb and fully reflected my requirements.
The team was also helpful with taxis and a free transfer to the airport in a spacious car was yet another commitment they were happy to fulfill.
I also had a couple of other minor asks and they were met with much gusto.
While serving breakfast only, the hotel can boast a number of eateries just a block away.
