What an amazing place! I walked there with my wife and was shocked by their selection of wines, tapas bites, the restaurant within and the quality of the place. Truly a gem in the area that needs to be recognized

Good location and good size room, and a great breakfast place. We stayed on the 4th floor in a great size room with a good bathroom and a balcony. There were some concerns though, mainly due to their credit card system and their "bed." Their card system did not accept US based Visa, Mastercard or other cards. They did attempt to run the cards but failed to connect, yet my Visa phone app did not even register the swipe. Strange how the card did work at a store right across the street and many other stores, restaurants, and a hotel around the area. That means their system is not connected or they are using a bank that does not like US currency, or tourists. You must have cash, so make sure to get cash before going to the hotel. The other concern was with what they call "bed." Room 402 has 3 BOXSPRINGS with a bed sheet to sleep on. I cannot understand WHY would anyone have this for a bed in a hotel, where clients go to rest and relax. We spent three nights there only because we had to wait for another hotel to have availability, a rather inconvenient situation. And for the last morning, I went downstairs for a quick workout so I can get my hurting back, back to normal, only to find out the treadmill not working, the exercise bike in need of service and finally the worst inconvenience: the pool/sauna area. I went to check the area, loved the look, got my wife from upstairs with our bathing suits and went down again, only to find the door locked and the lights out. The room key did not unlock the door, and I was not about to walk to the front desk in my robe at 8 AM! Overall, good location, good size rooms and breakfast but make sure you carry cash, forget about the workout and pool/sauna area, and get ready for the most uncomfortable sleep of your life. I have to add that my wife offered to sleep on the rug in front of the beds, but somehow I did not feel like it. Without these concerns I would rate this higher but if a client has to ask for all these to be fixed then this place might, just might, need to get a real manager to run it.

I liked the area and the quietness of the location. The room size was also beyond what we expected, and the breakfast was above average. There were some concerns though, mainly due to their credit card system that did not accept US based Visa, Mastercard or other cards. They did attempt to run the cards but failed to connect, yet my Visa phone app did not even register the swipe, yet it did work at a store and many others around the area. That means their system is not connected and also one must have cash, so make sure to get cash before going to the hotel. The other concern was with getting to the room. The taxi drops off on the side of the hotel, on a dirt road, and there is no elevator for getting your luggage upstairs. We asked for help since I had a double back surgery not too long ago, and the front desk asked a small girl to bring them up! We did not even try to ask again for help after that! And beware of the balcony area, it may give a great view but it is shared with the other room on the same floor, so locking the door is a must. Overall, a good experience and an awesome location, with a couple of inconveniences that would make this review a 5 star review.

One of the best spots to eat in Buchara. Went to the city for 3 days and both nights me and my wife enjoyed amazing meals there. And as a bonus the sweets were awesome. Service with a smile and great atmosphere. Will make sure to be there next time we're in town.
