We stayed for 2 days in October. Unfortunately, I cannot share the enthusiastic reviews of other guests. That's the reality. When we entered the room, we were shocked, thinking that we would only spend the night, and treated it as an adventure. The hotel is conveniently located inside the fortress next to the shopping malls, given the compactness of the fortress, everything is within walking distance. The room with two beds on the 2nd floor is tiny, the furniture is such that it makes no sense to discuss it. There was no hot water, and the icy water made our teeth ache, so of course we didn't take a shower. The advantages are hospitality, unobtrusive hosts, good breakfasts. We had one dinner, there was an absolutely extraordinarily delicious eggplant salad, decent chebureks and no cold "hot". 3 stars are more likely not for the hotel, but for Khiva. A short-stay hotel.

We were here in October 25. The location of the hotel is good (not far from the center and you don't have to get lost a lot). There is a playground on the roof with a great view (better than from the wall surrounding the city), but repairs were underway and it was cold in principle. The hosts are very helpful (it was free to arrange tea for the chilled guests), they can help with the choice of a guide. The breakfasts are very tasty and satisfying, and your time requirements are taken into account. One of the disadvantages is a hard mattress. At the same time, 3 out of 4 hotels had these. Tap water is bad, it's all over Khiva. You had to wait for the hot water to start running.

A great hotel, but rather, a guest house with very friendly hosts. The room is clean and cozy, they check in without waiting for 14-00. We ordered dinner on the terrace, 150,000 per person. Incredibly delicious pilaf, two salads, fruits, 2 types of soup. We failed. We reached Pilaf the next day. Many thanks to Bobojon and his family for the warm welcome.

We stayed for three nights in October. The hotel is in the heart of the old town - the location is just great! We got a small room, without a TV and without a refrigerator. The refrigerator is in the lobby next to it. The mattress is quite hard, but for my husband and me it's the best. Breakfast was enough for us. I really liked the dinner on the roof of the hotel - on the advice of the owner's son, dear Bobodzhan, we ordered Khiva pilaf (a huge dish) with salads, flatbread, fruits. We took local wine with us and enjoyed the views of the ancient city against the sunset! Beauty!!! Bobojan gave good advice on places worth visiting, and also organized a departure (at night) to Urgench airport. A very nice and hospitable family! We are very pleased with the choice of the hotel and celebrate the hospitality of the hosts.

Excellent hotel with good service. Comfortable orthopedic mattresses (the owner ordered them himself), normal breakfasts. The owner is a former museum employee, and he can tell you a lot about the city and its history. Good stable Wi-Fi. The old town is a 2-minute walk away.

Nice hotel. A warm welcome. The breakfast is very tasty and plentiful. The hotel is located right on the territory of an ancient fortress. In the evening, you can walk until dark. There is a view of the surrounding area from the roof. I recommend.

A compact family hotel. A friendly host, a historian by training. Delicious cuisine. The trick, in my opinion, is access to the flap roof of the second floor, where it is possible to combine eating with observing the city from above. I definitely recommend it.

The hotel is located in the center of the Old Town, within walking distance. A nice family who owns the hotel. A transfer from the airport can be arranged. Breakfast is standard - scrambled eggs, sliced cheese and sausage, melon, pastries (we came across stale bagels), dried fruits and jam - as everywhere in hotels in Uzbekistan. Green tea is leafy, black tea is in bags, instant coffee is not brewed.

In principle, the hotel is good, the hosts are helpful, you can book excursions, dinner on the roof - we ordered dinner on the last day of arrival - the pilaf is great. The rooms of the double room are small (12-13 meters), only the room number 1 is normal. it is better not to take it, because there is no sound insulation in this room., the refrigerator is shared in the lobby. When booking a room, it's still better to book on the second floor. As it is, we are pleased with the purchase in Khiva.

An excellent hotel in terms of price and quality , we were even registered , although we did not ask (tourists can stay up to 14 days in the Russian Federation without registration ) , but the law-abiding owner said . that he pays taxes , they also took the tax , it turned out to be 76 dollars for 2 nights ) in fact , there was no second night , there was an early departure to Urgench at 2 -30 min . The breakfasts are fresh , everything is clean , it was written about carpets in some review that they sweep , do not vacuum , but we did not notice anything dirty or dusty in our eyes .. There is a beautiful view on the roof) The hotel itself is in the center , Khiva is a fairy tale from which you do not want to leave , but after leaving you want to return . A taxi was ordered on the street to the airport, it cost 130 thousand som.( it's at night ) I drove quietly and carefully , and was on the spot without delay as agreed . Who needs to have a phone .

The owner is a historian. He talks a lot about Khiva and Uzbekistan . Good location. The veranda is gorgeous, the sunset can be found on it. But the beds are very hard, as if they slept on a board. And the breakfast is modest. The water is not hot enough, it takes a long time to wait. There is no Yandex taxi in Khiva. The owner helped with the taxi back.

Thank you very much for your hospitality! We are satisfied with all ten points out of ten. The rooms are small, but cozy and clean, odorless, with air conditioning. The family of the owners welcomed us cordially, did not skimp on answers to questions. They helped to navigate the terrain. Well, pilaf for dinner is just an extravaganza! And you don't have to go anywhere. We were unlucky with the weather, the rain prevented us from enjoying pilaf on the terrace. Have a good rest, everyone. We recommend the Kala Hotel in Khiva.

The hotel is perfectly located inside the fortress. Breakfast was served for half a table. For cleanliness: you can clean a little better, of course. The audibility is slightly increased, and the doors are slamming very loudly, and if someone is talking on the street below, you can also hear with the windows closed. If you use it, take earplugs for sure.

The rooms here are primitive, and the water is also not ice. Now forget about the above. This is bullshit! The owner can help with everything: a guide, currency exchange, where to go... The breakfasts are just a bomb! And what a roof! We sit, chat, drink and don't bother anyone

Pros: the location in the fortress, there is an exit to the roof with tables. All museums are nearby. Cons: the host receives guests himself and he clearly does not like to do this. All maintenance issues are handled through him. The rest of the staff does not understand Russian well. Breakfast is included but very modest. There is no kettle in the rooms. The plumbing is in poor condition. There is no water pressure.

We lived here for 3 days. According to my internal rating, I would put a rating on a minus scale, since the stuffiness of the owner is comparable only to the stuffiness of his premises. However, in order. The location is wonderful - inside the old town. Everything is nearby, for which they go to Khiva. The shops are only small, the deli is outside, in a new city. The house is adobe with a normal finish, it does not crumble inside, there are antiques and finishing elements "expensive-richly", in Khiva. It looks clean, but carpets are probably not vacuumed, but swept. Such a smell of old carpets, and adobe is a mixture of clay and horse droppings, you need to understand this. Windows are blocked or missing in some rooms. There are condors. At night, instead of breathing the normal fresh night air, we steamed and listened to the buzzing of the air conditioner. The owner offered dinners for $ 10 per person and began to tell how his guests refused and eventually ate a couple of chebureks and tea for $ 20 in a cafe. We ate for $3-5 without any problems. there are a variety of dishes per person in cafes and restaurants, there are plenty of them around. I tried to pinch the change, like it's a small thing. I asked for 130,000 soums for washing, pointing my finger at a non-speaking woman, like, this is her price, I have nothing to do with it. As a result, we tried to communicate with him as little as possible, it was unpleasant. More about the house: a nice terrace with tables on the entire roof. If the electricity goes out, there is no water, and there is no cold water either. Doors according to the map, 1 room - 1 card, regardless of the number of people.

The hotel certainly does not say that it is 5 stars) It was a little dirty, there was no curtain in the bathroom, the door did not close to the bathroom. But the owner of the hotel compensates for all this I helped with the excursions, arranged a great dinner In short, I liked it.

The rooms were very small, there was a problem with the cleanliness in our room: all the towels were stained, with yellow spots of unknown origin, the toilet was not washed after the previous tenants, there was an unpleasant smell of sewage. There were feather pillows with a "smell" on the beds, apparently the feathers inside had rotted away. From the positive, I can only highlight a good location. I definitely will not recommend the hotel, I think for the same (albeit small) money you can find something more pleasant.

A great and inexpensive place to just spend the night. Due to its location, it is very convenient to walk around Khiva both day and night. But if you are one of those who are used to resort types of hotels with a buffet, comfort, and home comfort, this is not the right hotel.
