NAZIRA&AZIZBEK — Hotel in Bukhara City

Great welcome and excellent service throughout our stay. Couldn't find a better location in Bukhara if you tried!! As the Guest House was located right in the centre of town, it was so handy to return to for an hours break in the air conditioned room before resuming our sightseeing! Majority of sights within easy walking distance and taxis in abundance less than 5" away for those "further out" sights. Within 2 minutes of the front door are a couple of local shops with food/snacks/drinks (including alcohol!). Just 5" away is the Mavrigri Restaurant & Chicha Bar (25 Gavkushon Road) - definitely a great stop for lunch or evening meal - unusual surroundings in courtyard or outside overlooking the square (and a menu in English if your Uzbek/Russian is not too hot!!). Breakfasts typically Uzbek and served 7-9 in the courtyard and rooms/facilities excellent value for money! ||Don't bother rushing to Khiva - totally overrated and definitely a tourist 'rip off' city not worth the 5 hour train journey (see my Trip Advisor post under "Ichan Qala Khiva"!!) - spend a couple more days at Nazira&Azizbek 's and relax, enjoy their hospitality and take in the relaxing evenings by the waterside with their cafes, restaurants, bars and ice cream parlours less than a minute from the front door!! ||Highly recommended and I'll definitely be back on my next visit to...

Literally stumbled into this hostel after yet another car break down needing a place to sleep that could help us find a mechanic. The Mongol Rally, man. Anyway. They were SO HELPFUL! The owner used to be a tech driver and knew everything. They were so nice and the dorm we shared was air conditioned which seems like no big deal until you've been driving in cars with no AC for 18 hours in August. It's touristy here for sure, but it's BEAUTIFUL architecture and gorgeous old plaza were a wonderful Adventure. Plus, we drank a lot of cheap beer to celebrate getting the car fixed and that was a lot of fun. Bathrooms we're good, breakfast was good, WiFi was what you'd expect...

We loved this place, even though we visited during a cold snap in March when there was snow on the ground. Nazira is absolutely warm and charming and that is reflected in her guest house. Great location, although Bukhara is being dug up at the moment (Mar 25) as they lay new roads and everywhere was a construction site. We would love to visit when it's warm and the roadworks are finished, but despite that we loved our stay with this...
