charming and steeped in history this ex jewish merchants house now houses a wonderful hotel located off the main historical strip of old bukhara. the rooms are pleasant with en suite facilities and overlook a lovely courtyard. Bonu, the owners daughte is delightfully welcoming and Furqat at reception is one of the most helpful people I have ever met. Breakfast is a wholesome mix of cereals, breads, fruit, vegetable & eggs cooked more ways than I can imagine. This one is highly recommended

The Lyabi House has an ideal location, just across the street from the beautiful central reservoir, which is surrounded by restaurants. Everything you want to see in Bukhara is within easy walking distance. It was easy to pop back to the room as needed.

My room (5) was clean and comfortable and opened onto the inner courtyard where breakfast was served. I loved eating on the "summer porch," which was as attractive as the one I saw at the Emir's Summer Palace. The breakfast selections were somewhat limited, but certainly adequate.

Service varied from fair to excellent, depending on the individual working at the front desk. My one complaint about the hotel is that the toilet in my room kept running and the young man at the front desk had to come repeatedly to stop it, but never showed me what I could do differently to avoid needing to trot out to the front desk for help.

Lyabi House Hotel's location cannot be bettered. it is opposite the reservoir called Lyabi Hauz. This is in the old Jewish Quarter and is very central. All the sights of tourism interest are within walking distance.
The hotel is a boutique hotel, modern rooms in an old building. The room was very comfortable, clean, warm, and nicely decorated. Breakfast is taken in the main room of the old house, and it is like being in a museum - down to the "Do Not Touch" notices on much of the porcelain displayed. I guess that too many guests have succomed to the temptation to pick up a piece to see the manufacturers mark!
Breakfast itself was adequate but not inspiring. The availability of fresh fruit and joghurt would have been a welcome addition.
As it was off season, there was no other food service available at the hotel, but at the Lyabi Hauz pool, just steps away there is a choice of restaurants.
I paid US$45/night for a single room with bath and breakfast.
