4-Star Hotels in Bukhara Region, Uzbekistan

The hotel is located north of Bukhara's Old City, with most attractions within walking distance. The Saffron Restaurant on the 3rd floor serves excellent food, especially the fried eggplant. However, the spa service was absolutely unacceptable. The therapist had an awful attitude and poor technique. Anytime we moved or were too tense during the massage, she would reprimand us with incredibly exaggerated, disgusted exclamations, completely ruining our day. On top of that, it didn't even provide the relaxation we sought. What's more, the time spent changing clothes was counted towards the massage duration, which would never happen in China. After writing a two-page complaint letter, the hotel offered a fruit platter as compensation and provided a written response stating that ”other guests in our tour group” were satisfied, implying the problem was ours. Yet, we were independent travelers who checked in alone, so the mention of a tour group was completely fabricated. Naturally, this was unacceptable. After a 30-minute standoff at the front desk, the final solution was a 30% discount, but then the fruit platter was withdrawn. As an incredibly arrogant hotel, I do not recommend staying here. They didn't even replenish toothpaste during daily cleanings. However, the rooftop restaurant is still recommended, with an average cost of around 200 CNY per person.

The hotel could be much better if they improved their service! Overall, it's pleasant with a nice design. Let's start with the pros: + Great location, with a bank nearby for currency exchange, a coffee shop across the street, two decent fast-food places, and a small supermarket next to the hotel selling nuts, dried fruits by weight, and tea (prices are generally like a market). Tourist attractions are only 100 rubles and about 5-7 minutes away by taxi. + Good breakfast with a wide selection, almost everything you could want, and tasty. + The room was clean. I can't comment on regular cleaning as I requested it at reception for a specific time, and they accommodated me. + The indoor/outdoor pool is clean, and there's nobody there in the morning. Cons: - After 12 PM, the pool gets crowded. Local guys were smoking right on the sun loungers, and no staff member said anything to them. - Upon check-in, the administrator gave me a room that didn't match my booking. I booked an upgraded room, but I was given a 'budget economy' room on the first floor with a view of a concrete wall and absolutely no natural light! (Photos attached). The administrator refused to give me another room for free, claiming they had no rooms. However, after I contacted Trip.com support, he miraculously found another room category for me without any extra charge! A woman before me had the same situation, so it seems they try to scam guests by initially giving them a bad room and then charging extra to upgrade to the one they should have had in the first place. It was a bit stressful, but the issue was resolved in the end. - The shower barely worked; you could only wash under the tap as there was absolutely no water pressure in the showerhead. - The air conditioning only worked on maximum power; it didn't work at all or would switch off on the lowest setting, which was inconvenient. Hotel management needs to control staff who are ruining the hotel's reputation by assigning rooms that don't match bookings, thus spoiling the mood of guests who paid to relax! I also recommend partial renovation or replacement of the plumbing. The hotel looks solid from the outside, but there are clear management shortcomings internally. Fix these issues, and it will significantly improve occupancy and the number of positive reviews! It's all in your hands! I've also included photos of the room I eventually received after the dispute.

The sanitary conditions of the hotel are good, but it is far from the ancient city, especially the battery car in the ancient city of Buhari. At night, you have to go far to take a taxi outside the martial law point. There are many types of breakfast, but they are all cold food. Some hot food, I feel that the heating is not strong, they are all cold, and the taste is average.

Stop for two nights. The size of the hotel, room and the presence of the balcony played a significant role in choosing. No big claims for accommodation. There is a decent breakfast. The room is large, the balcony was present. However, the room is somewhat unthinkable and not too comfortable, as if under the hotel had been remade the room originally designed for something else. The furniture is modest. To the main sights you will have to walk on the not most scenic streets - no pleasure, especially at night ) Of course, it is always possible to call an inexpensive taxi. In general, the KMK price of $100 per night for this hotel is heavily overstated, Especially according to the measures of Uzbekistan.

The guesthouse has about four rooms centered around a shared courtyard. It's located in the heart of the residential area in the northwest of Bukhara's Old City, within walking distance to Lyab-i Hauz, the Ark Citadel, and other major attractions in Bukhara. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and I personally loved the decor. If you plan on cooking your own meals, I recommend choosing the 'Honey Moon' room type, as 'Bachelor' rooms don't come with an induction cooktop. The owner is incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. They're happy to provide information about Bukhara's attractions and communicate fluently in English. Breakfast needs to be pre-ordered and reserved the day before. There's a wide variety of choices, and staff deliver it to your room at your chosen time. It's very hearty and features local specialties – highly recommended. Overall, this guesthouse will be an integral part of your Bukhara trip. It's truly an unbeatable choice.

Highly recommended. The owner's photos aren't edited; what you see is what you get, with minimal discrepancy. The location is perfect, a 2-minute walk from Afanti Square, and within a 5-minute walk of various popular restaurants like Ayron, Joy, Amulet, Bon!, and Bella Italia. The rooms are clean, spacious, and the service is excellent and quiet. Highly recommended, better than the Wyndham and many hotels listed as 4-5 stars here. A word of caution: many hotel photos are misleading, and don't rely solely on ratings; focus on the reviews before booking.

Excellent stay experience. Jasmine Gevinch, the lovely lady at the front desk, helped me switch to a higher floor. Knowing I was traveling alone, she specially recommended the CHINOR restaurant, which is a local favorite with great value for money. When she learned about my habit of drinking a lot of water due to the hot weather, she had the staff send up 4 extra bottles of mineral water. Thumbs up for the attention to detail! Although the hotel is within walking distance of the old city, it's dustier because you pass by a construction site, so taking a taxi is more convenient. When using Yandex taxi, you need to set the pickup location to the hotel lobby level; otherwise, the car will automatically stop in the parking lot below. Joxongir, the concierge at the entrance, was super nice. He helped me carry my luggage from the front desk to the entrance and waited until my taxi arrived and the luggage was loaded before leaving. Despite the hot weather outside, he stayed to confirm the destination (the train station) with me and the driver before departing.

This B&B in the old city of Bukhara is nice, with ethnic decor, clean and tidy. It's a great location for independent travelers, within easy walking distance of various attractions. The two guys at the front desk spoke English well. They also provided a packed breakfast for us, especially since we had a 3 a.m. train.

This hotel was amazing! It’s in a perfect location, just a 2-minute walk from the main attractions. The breakfast is also delicious. Shax is an outstanding staff member who was always helpful and polite.

Очень красивый отель с прекрасным обслуживанием, в пешей доступности от старого города. Нам предоставили семейный номер, состоящий из двух стандартов, соединенных межкомнатной дверью, очень удобно для 4 человек! В номере есть все необходимое, хороший ремонт и удобная мебель. На ресепшн помогли со всеми вопросами - забронировать столик в ресторане, осуществить обмен валюты и проч. Единственное, что немножко огорчило - достаточно скромный по сравнению с Хивой и Самаркандом завтрак, горячих блюд было мало, выпечка в заводских упаковках, зато неплохой кофе.
