The most beautiful guest rooms Central Asia

By entering Ichan Kala by the west door, cntourner the palace and follow the walls about meters. A sign signals the house. Six small rooms with private bathrooms and small balconies (one with view on the west door, others on satellite antennas unfortunately…), equipped with fans. The house and the breakfast room, under a high ceiling of painted wood, are in Uzbek style. The two old rooms, a little simpler and equipped with air conditioners, are nevertheless large and pleasant. The bathrooms with shower are rudimentary but effective. Everything allows you to stay in Ichan Kala in an excellent location, in a charming family.

The house, dating back to 1869, which was the property of the Amir falling under its charm, regained its colours. Rakhim Khamidov, one of the architect's descendants, leads this small hotel of 11 rooms arranged around a large courtyard and a small garden. The rooms are facing a large iwan located on the other side of the courtyard, where Rakhim organises dinners and shows that revive the splendour of one of Bukhara's most beautiful houses.

This B & B opened in 2001 offers 13 carefully decorated and well-equipped rooms. We appreciate the longevity of this address, where owners simply maintain the existing property without distorting their beautiful building with endless constructions. It is a large traditional house of the Jewish quarter dating from the th century, with three successive courses on the ground floor and terraces on the floor, including rooms decorated in oriental style. A terrace allows you to admire the roofs of the city. The B & B has its own tourist agency, Emir Travel, which organizes circuits in Uzbekistan and Central Asia. Also stressed: The staff were friendly and helpful.

In the heart of the old town, opposite the Liab-i-Khaouz, the location is ideal for staying comfortably in Bukhara. The house is large and has a large courtyard with iwan around which 10 rooms are divided. The old entrance with its wooden door was replaced by a new building with four new luxury rooms. Fatima has always been able to combine business and hospitality, and in addition to an incomparable welcome, its rates include a rich breakfast among the city's richest.

A good address for tight budgets that don't want to excentrer. The house of Rustam and Matluba is located 200 m east of the Liab-i-Khaouz. The hotel was very close to the city centre and the city centre. Don't announce to Rustam the rates charged by its competitors, it borders the fainting every time. For him, luxury is in the city, and the rooms serve only to sleep. Rustam and Matluba speak only a few words in English, which gives a more authentic character to their warm welcome.

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.

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.
