Emirkhan Guesthouse in Bukhara

It was wonderful.

The best thing about this place is its cleanliness. We had a very comfortable four-day stay. The service was attentive and considerate. It's a quiet place, just a 3-5 minute walk from the old town. We had a great time exploring the old town over four days. Thank you to the owner for providing us with such a comfortable place to stay!

Everything was great! We were greeted very warmly and allowed to check in early. The room was very clean. The location couldn't be better; it's easy to explore all of Bukhara on foot, everything is nearby.

1. Located in the Old City, the guesthouse is just a 10-minute walk from the Minoral Kalo. There are other attractions along the way, so the journey won't be boring or feel long.

2. The guesthouse has a fully equipped and spacious kitchen in the basement, where you can cook your own meals.

3. The guesthouse owner is very kind. Because I needed to catch a 7:40 AM train on the day of my departure, I asked for the hotel receipt the night before (as the airport checks for receipts and there's a fine if you don't have one). The owner said he could only issue it upon departure, as it's done online. So I added him on WhatsApp and contacted him at 6 AM to get it. I felt really bad about it. When I left, the hostess even reminded me that it was raining and cold outside and pulled up my coat and hood, which touched me deeply.

4. The room was large, but... it only had a skylight, which was covered by a cloth, so it was essentially a windowless room. This contradicted my booking confirmation that it had a window. Also, I booked a twin room, but they gave me a double bed, even though my room was actually a triple room; the single bed just didn't have a mattress or anything. This was a small oversight, and I think they could have done better. (I only discovered these discrepancies on the second day 😅 I had already checked in and hadn't told the host.)

5. Overall satisfied, recommended.

It's a beautiful place, super clean and very new to the attractions. Room is cosy and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend to stay here 😊
