Lyabi House Hotel

Great location right in the middle of historic quarter. The building itself is also of course historic and interesting. Add a very nice room, friendly staff and a good breakfast. What more could you want? This was easily my best hotel experience on my trip through Tashkent, Boysun and Bukhara.

Great location, beautiful house / breakfast dining area, and very centrally located in the old town. However, service was lacking and was generally cold. Receptionist seemed under trained as she seemed confused as to how to deal with some of our requests (like booking a transfer to the railway). As well, in order to book an airport / railway transfer to the hotel, you have to contact them first but you cannot book it in advance. You can only book it on the day of your arrival. Thankfully we had an Uzbek SIM card because otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to arrange for a transfer at all upon arrival in Bukhara. As for the room, it was clean and comfortable. However, WiFi was not great (quite patchy and sometimes there was no reception at all). Also there was no “do not disturb” sign available to hang on the door and no safe provided in the room (despite the website saying otherwise). With that said, one morning we left all of our valuables out and unbeknownst to us, the cleaner went in to clean as we went for breakfast. Thankfully nothing went missing however it left us feeling very wary about the security of our belongings. Overall an ok stay.

This hotel checks all the boxes when it comes to cleanliness and service. The location is perfect close to everything and the vibe around the area is great. The beds are more comfortable than the average mid-range hotels in Uzbekistan. Breakfast is really good and the service is also great. The front desk arranged for a private guide and transportation to Khiva so it was very convenient for us. Pros: - Location - Cleanliness - Service (front-desk) - On-site restaurant and breakfast. Cons: - The Internet is slow during the day. I assume they just don't have enough bandwidth because at 5AM the speed is great.

This is a 'quaint' hotel converted from an old building located right in the middle of the old preserved part of Bukhara. The location is a trade off with the amenities which are only basic. Running water in the bathroom turns alarmingly brown occasionally and if you want some water from housekeeping, it is chargeable. Cleanliness too is just passable but maybe it has something to do with the property being old. Breakfast buffet was the best of all the hotels we stayed in in Uzbekistan.

Extremely beautiful hotel in a great location, with very helpful staff. Nice breakfast, and a top notch dinner if you should decide to have an evening meal here. Large room, comfortable beds - all at an amazingly good price. Thank you for a lovely few days.
