What I Liked:
I found Hotel Malika by searching on the map. However, when I arrived, I realized it’s in an incredibly central location. On its category it definately deserves 5* from me.
The farthest historical monument from the hotel is the Bukhara Fortress, and you can even walk there through the side streets in just 7 minutes. Such a fantastic location at such reasonable prices is a rare opportunity.
On the other hand, no matter how good a hotel is, the attitude of the staff and management is extremely important. At this hotel, we were greeted with the warm hospitality I’m used to in my own country. From the receptionists to the cleaning staff, from the restaurant team to other employees, everyone is incredibly helpful, understanding, and easy to communicate with. Rest assured, they will support you in every way possible. They all speak quite good English and some other languages such as Turkish, Russian etc.
Right next to the hotel, you’ll find beautiful cafes, historical sites, squares, authentic shops, museums, and transportation options—all within easy reach.
The hotel is brand new but built in harmony with the local, historical architecture. High ceilings, comfortable beds, window screens, top-brand bathroom amenities, luxurious and stylish touches, spacious and beautifully designed bright rooms await you.
A lovely area has been designed in the hotel courtyard where you can smoke or sit at a low table. The breakfast also had a very rich variety.
I will definitely return to this hotel and highly recommend it to everyone.
What I Didn’t Like:
Overall, everything was perfect, but if I must write something, I can only mention these minor points...
It would have been great if the hotel’s restaurant, which is still under construction, had been completed. It would also be nice if the windows in the rooms could open upward. The sidewalks around the hotel are being renovated, so some areas might be a bit dusty, but I assume this isn’t the hotel’s fault and will be...

Read moreBest hotel in Bukhara. Large, very clean rooms. Great showers with strong water pressure. Cannot get a better location — steps from the center square, all the important "old town" buildings, restaurants, shopping, and a short walk to additional sites (~15/20 min to ark of Bukhara, for example). The hot breakfast is simple but fresh — you can order eggs. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel, and if you room is facing the street, it can be louder on the weekends but only until 10-11pm. Hotel staff is very helpful, especially Beshod! Thank you Beshod!!! WiIl arrange airport transfer. Taxi cannot pull up to the front door of the hotel; streets are narrow, so be prepared to walk a couple minutes to your car; they help you...
