Bukhara Mir-i Arab Madrassah Hotels

"We stayed at Omar Khayyam Hotel for four nights, paying approximately $431, which is on the higher end compared to other hotels we used during our trip in Uzbekistan. Upon check-in, the first room we were given had a very worn and extremely squeaky mattress, to the point that even small movements disturbed the other person. After spending an uncomfortable first night, we reported the issue and were moved to another room, which we appreciated. However, the second room did not have a refrigerator, which was inconvenient for a stay of this length. The breakfast was disappointing, especially considering the price. There was very little variety of hot food, with most options limited to cold items such as cheese and cereal. On two of the four mornings, we were told that we were the only guests, and breakfast service was noticeably scaled back. This gave the impression that corners were cut, which further reduced the overall value of the stay. In comparison to other hotels we stayed at in Uzbekistan—many of which were less expensive—this was the weakest overall experience. Finally, while our booking mentioned an additional hotel tax of approximately $30, we were charged the equivalent of about $40 at checkout, without a clear explanation for the difference. Overall, while the staff did accommodate our room change, the comfort issues, poor breakfast quality, and pricing discrepancies made this hotel poor value for the cost."

"The dining room is a treasure to behold and be in, assuming one is keen on unvarnished 19th century surroundings."
