Sarhad Hotel Bukhara

This hotel is highly rated across all major platforms. I booked in advance and originally wanted to stay for two consecutive nights, but it was already fully booked for the second night. I really loved the room's decor—it was cozy and very clean. The breakfast offered a great variety and was delicious. Highly recommended, just remember to book early!

The room was beautiful and very clean. The service was excellent, especially the young man at the front desk. The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, and the fruit was incredibly fresh. Highly recommend!

Pros: Location, new hotel, has its own courtyard (a very atmospheric place). Everything is new and beautiful, but it's a 3-star hotel, so the room amenities reflect that. We booked a single room with a large bed. There's not much space, and nowhere to put your belongings.

An absolutely wonderful stay! The room was new, and you could tell the guesthouse spared no expense on materials and furnishings throughout. The rooftop terrace and the ground floor courtyard were both lovely spaces, perfect for relaxing. What's more, the service was excellent, and the breakfast especially deserves a shout-out – it was bountiful and delicious.

I had to wait a long time to check in when I arrived, possibly because I booked that same evening and the hotel hadn't updated the order yet. I had booked a city view room, but was told the hotel's order was for a courtyard view, and that city view rooms were no longer available. The hotel offered to let me switch rooms the next day, but I decided against it as I didn't want to go through the hassle again. Later, the owner waived the laundry service fee for me. The next day, they asked for my passport again, saying they forgot to register it during check-in the day before. It really made me wonder what the front desk staff was doing during check-in that night. The owner, however, was quite polite and had a good attitude. The courtyard view room lacked privacy; I had to keep the curtains drawn all the time, which made it feel a bit claustrophobic. The room itself was mostly fine, but the bathroom's exhaust fan might be too close to the kitchen's range hood exhaust, as I could smell cooking fumes from breakfast in the bathroom in the mornings. Breakfast was just so-so. It started at 8 AM, and by a little after 9 AM, some dishes were almost gone. For example, there were only two fried eggs left, perhaps they weren't refilled promptly. While breakfast was filling, the variety and taste weren't as good as breakfasts at similarly priced hotels in China, so don't set your expectations too high. The figs, though, were good and sweet. Overall, it felt more like a guesthouse. If you're looking for more professional service and more facilities, a chain hotel would be a better fit. But if you're looking for value for money, it's sufficient for a quick stopover.

Had a pleasant stay. Breakfast was decent. Be sure to check out the rooftop terrace! The location isn't bad. There's a camel experience next to Ark. It's nice and peaceful here.

We stayed at the hotel for 3 days. The hotel is new and tastefully decorated. We particularly loved the courtyards that the room windows overlooked. The rooms were clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal – within walking distance of the market and the main attractions of the old city. The biggest plus, however, was the staff and the hotel owner. They recommended delicious Uzbek restaurants where locals eat, helped us with all our questions and issues, and even drove us to the train station late on our last night since we had an overnight train. I highly recommend staying here!
