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.

Amazing hotel staff were very accommodating giving us somewhere to store our bikes and then helping me when I had an issue with my bike.
Meros Hotel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Bukhara.
Guest review
The hotel has an excellent location — close to everything you need. It’s newly built, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well maintained. What really makes it special, though, is the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hotel is small, with only seven rooms, which gives it a cozy, family-like feel — and perhaps that’s why the staff are so exceptionally kind. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. One of the ladies even gave us a gift — fresh melon — and often brought little treats during our stay. Their hospitality is truly remarkable, far beyond what you’d normally expect. And again, the cleanliness is outstanding — everything is spotless. You can really feel the care and heart they put into this place.

Featuring a bar, Khiva Siyovush Hotel is situated in Khiva. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.
Guest review
This hotel was by far the best experience I had in Uzbekistan. The owner was so friendly and polite. He helped me with many things including making reservations in some restaurants. The house itself is gorgeous and it’s like stepping back in Uzbekistan history. The whole place was beautifully decorated full of charm. The breakfast was also superb. I loved everything about this place and would definitely recommend to anyone.

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
I recently stayed at Sarhad Hotel in Bukhara and had a very positive experience. This is a new hotel, managed directly by the owners, who clearly take pride in providing excellent service to their guests. The staff were attentive throughout our stay (there were 5 of us in two rooms) and always did their best to ensure comfort and convenience.
Breakfast was a highlight, with a generous and tasty selection to start the day. A particularly thoughtful gesture was on the day of our early departure for Khiva: the hotel kindly prepared a takeaway breakfast for the train journey, which we greatly appreciated.
Overall, Sarhad Hotel combines modern comfort with genuine hospitality, making it a very good choice for anyone visiting Bukhara.
