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.

The best thing about the hotel is the hostess Gulya. She serves a delicious breakfast. She recommended a number of very good restaurants to us. She is a very caring hostess and arranged both an early check in on arrival and a late check out on departure. The property is close to all the historical sites

Arriving in Khiva is already a special experience, but this family hotel tops it off. I loved my beautiful room and everything was great. The host spoke English well, breakfast was very elaborate, the location of the hotel hardly could be any better. A true recommendation!

Kohinur Plaza has a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Samarkand. With free WiFi, this 4-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk.
Guest review
The friendly staff was the highlight of our stay. Freddy and his colleagues went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The hotel is very new and spotless. We did not have a chance to try the pool or spa facilities, but we did enjoy the complimentary bikes for exploring the sites. The hotel is located on a very busy road, but within a short walk or bicycle ride, you can reach the quieter main walking path that connects all of the major sites of Samarkand.

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
The staff was friendly and pro-active. Great team!
This was the second time we went to the hotel and the staff remembered how we liked things from the first time and made similar arrangements. Other examples they arranged without us having to ask or pay for included arranging breakfast options complying to our kids dietary requirements, arranging coffee and tea as per our likings with the wake-up service for our night flight, etc., etc. Also, not uncommon nowadays but still appreciated: the reception is 24/7 available on Whatsapp for all sorts of questions. Response within seconds.
Reception team spoke English very well.
All other basic things were in good order, such as: breakfast, cleanliness, location (near airport, train station, metro, shopping street), service. The room we stayed in was apparently very new or newly renovated and very tidy.
