The best accommodations Central Asia

Rather pathetic when you know that its rooms once gave the sea, but this is the only possibility of accommodation in Moynaq. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers are located in the hotel garden (avoid shower, fed by rain water stored in an old rusty bidon). For one or two more dollars, you will be entitled to full pension, only a restaurant solution in this city which has no restaurant (avoid soup and just potatoes).

Behind this singing name (Yangi Shamol literally translates into "new wind") hides the former Tara, very well known and popular holiday travellers and that taxi drivers will identify better under this old name. No air conditioning, no television, improbable bathrooms and sleeping beds to the point of reaching the ground, but a price that is challenging all competition and always so relaxed. Disadvantage: The hotel is located very far from the city centre.

One of these old, dilapidated and old hotels, typical of the country. It is the best in the city. For smaller budgets, you can turn to the Karchi Hotel on Mustakillik Avenue, which sometimes accepts (but rarely) payments by hospitals at local rates. For those who know to stay patient and kind…

The only hotel in Shahrisabz is now completely renovated and offers good quality accommodation, even if electricity and water pressure leave to be desired. The hotel retains its main asset: It is centrally located at the foot of the ruins of Ak Saraï Palace. For excursions around Shahrisabz, contact the Orient Travel agency in Samarkand, which manages the hotel.

The first luxury hotel in Samarkand in Samarkand dates back to 1997 but retains its freshness. It is great, it is luxurious, ideally located, with impeccable service. We'll spend almost its vacation if there's nothing to see around… The whole is very aseptisé, and it's cruelly lacking in local color.

Hotel Zarina is conspicuous by its situation, half way between the Gour Emir and the Registan. The rooms are arranged around a courtyard with a small swimming pool. View on the adjacent mausoleum and dinner under a large iwan closed one side of the courtyard. This one, like the dining room, is decorated with numerous antiques (radio or television stations in particular) for which Abduvakhid is passionate, owner of the hotel and also director of the Esprit du Temps agency with which you can schedule your trip in Uzbekistan as well as throughout Central Asia. In Tajikistan, Abduvakhid organizes in particular interesting treks with nights in the inhabitant.

The last one of the hotels in the Chaîne chain, with always the same standard and the same types of rooms, comfortable, soberly decorated and equipped with beautiful bathrooms. The location is impeccable, just a hundred meters from the Gour Emir on which rooms 15, 16, 22 and 23 have a nice view. For others, look for the panorama on the roof terrace under the pleasant shade of the iwan.

The hotel's two floors, decorated with marble and wood panelling, overlook a courtyard where many staircases are left to the rooms. In the last free corner of the court, a new 3-storey building with 7 luxury rooms was completed in 2009. These successive aggrandissements mean that, in the end, for ten years, we have never known this B & B other than work and dust. The exterior lift project makes it a bit pompous and we can only lament, in the very pleasant interior courtyard, a cruel lack of sunshine and a feeling of suffocation. The rooms are decorated with care, without overloading, as are the two restaurant rooms. On the top floor you can see the domes and minarets of the Registan and, on the other side, the Observatoire Begh observatory. Some rooms view the Bibi Khanum mosque, but the windows are too narrow to really enjoy it. In the courtyard, you eat on tapchan. Furkat also has a second address a little lower on the same street. More summary comfort, kitchen at the disposal of the guests and lower rates (5 to 10 € for the simple, 10 to 20 € for doubles).

Just a few steps from the previous one, which is also very good and very recommendable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The old rooms have from the balcony a small view on the summit of the Gur Emir. We appreciate the freshness of the central courtyard and the shade of the vine in summer.

The most expensive rooms are traditional. It is also possible to sleep in the summer on the terrace with views of the Gour Emir. For ten years, we have always been our favourite address in Samarkand. The freshness of the courtyard, the warmth of the reception, the breakfast with a unique recipe of ripe mûres, nicely decorated rooms with no excesses or frills and an impeccable location close to the Gour Emir. What more can you ask for to discover the most beautiful city in the world? In the high season, guests can enjoy a stay in one of the twelve traditional houses managed by Aziza and Kutbiya. Mahssouda, who lives in the neighbouring house, also rents a little cheaper rooms in the event of high attendance: (998 662) 35 38. Not dinner in the evening, but Aziza and Kutbiya can book a meal for you in the sublime surroundings of a th century house, very rare in Samarkand.

Good location between the Registan and Bibi Khanum mosque, small B & B and prisé by we sur on comfort. The staff were friendly and helpful. The increase in tariffs since the last edition seems to be little justified in terms of benefits. So negotiate. On the other hand, dinner always has an unbeatable price of $ 2.

Close to Babur Park, opposite the bazaar, on the fifth floor of a private hospital. Enter the waiting room and take the elevator. The premises of the old hotel Orzu have been properly restored, and the rooms without embellishment have the merit of being clean and having a bathroom practicable. Television in all rooms. There is no other accommodation solution in the city centre since the Destruction Hotel was destroyed. A new 3-star hotel has nevertheless opened its doors close to the airport, but the location is little comfortable for a visit to the city.

Do not hesitate to negotiate because it is clearly expensive for the quality of comfort offered and the hotel does not have a formal license to host tourists. Rooms are spartan, bathrooms are often unusable and electricity is not guaranteed in all rooms. The reception is, however, jovial, and the hotel manager even speaks a few words in English. Excellent location in the heart of the city.

They all have a small bathroom, not comfortable but functional. The hotel, built in 1963, has an astonishing interior architecture, with marble staircase, lustre and mural frescos, which do not announce the comfort of the rooms. These are of great simplicity, equipped with TV and air conditioning. The building is central, facing the theatre and close to the bazaar.

Only possible recourse for those who would make Denau a step before entering Tajikistan to Dushanbe. Ask Room 25, the only one equipped with "washroom" and "bathroom", and even a television, for $ 2,5. The other rooms are $ 1,5, without all this comfort.

The great luxury, with marble, glass and large bright rooms. But at the time of the investigation, still not Internet access or international telephone, hot water outages and a restaurant offering the minimum card… In short, don't wait to sleep in a western Le Meridien in the western sense of this chain of hotels. The city centre is less than 1,5 km away.

The most recent hotel in Termez. Very good location, between town hall and cathedral, near the modern centre. The rooms are very spacious, equipped with régrigérateur, air conditioning and TV. The "Deluxe" fare is an additional room serving as a living room. On the other hand, the pink bathroom with an angle bathtub and the ever-growing soufflé glass chandelier imitating laurel leaves are a constant.

A little away from the modern centre, but the most economical solution in Termez. Rooms are divided into «deluxe» and «deluxe» categories. " Deluxe "is just a good standard," luxury "is simply equipped with a living room in addition to the room. In every case, the bathrooms would be worth a new twist. But with air conditioning, the whole remains correct and well located downstream of the bazaar. The hotel has a restaurant.

The luxury rooms, decorated in European style, are very spacious. Standard rooms provide minimum value for money, after negotiation. In the courtyard you can enjoy a large swimming pool and a bar-restaurant. Air conditioning and TV (cable) in all rooms. The hotel organises excursions throughout the valley with guides and interpreters. You can also arrange horseback trekking or horse tours provided you book in advance. The hotel is a little eccentric, 3 km from the bazaar, but remains the best choice for a prolonged stay in the Ferghana valley.

The 25 rooms at Hotel Asia were a little old. So the Marco Polo group to which the hotel belongs has built 32 new, superior categories, all the old ones taking the "standard" status. It's nine and neat. The price is 30 € for single and double rooms of the old part, 35 and € 50 for the new part. The rate includes breakfast and access to the hotel's swimming pools, outside or in the inside. The restaurant offers a range of traditional and European dishes. The reception is always very pleasant, and Asia Ferghana remains one of the best addresses of this small chain.

Spacious, traditional, spacious house located just behind Al-Ferghani Park. The house has a large common room with cable TV and a large green and refreshing courtyard. For a few years, the team of this B & B has made great efforts to restore the rooms and make it a beautiful base of radiation to discover the region. And unless you are an unconditional hotel, you will find everything you need in this small B & B.
