“Nice, but rather tasteless”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The location is great: it's inside the old city wall and a minute walk to Kalta minaret.

We paid 40 $ per night per room (two persons, including breakfast). The room was clean, but the interior was tasteless compared to amazing B&Bs we stayed in Bukhara and Samarkand. Bed mattress was quite cheap that you can feel the springs on your back. The walls were thin; we could hear the neighbors and the people talking loud at the reception desk. Breakfast was nice, but more "western".

It's a reasonable hotel in a great location with adequate rooms. It's definitely not bad, but there may be better places for similar price.

“great location, cheap and funky”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2007
3
people found this review helpful

Hotel Arkanchi (Lonely Planet spells it Arqonchi) is in a great location within the walls of the Old City of Khiva, right behind the historic madressa which is now Hotel Khiva.
It is nothing fancy, but quite adequate and good value for money. In the wooden main building the rooms appear to be all of differing sizes. Although I had booked a single, I had a huge room with three beds in it. The bathroom was big enough to have a party in too. The heating was excellent, which was a definate plus as it was really cold for March outside.
There are what appeared to be newer rooms of a uniform, smaller size and concrete or stone construction in the courtyard.
Breakfast was included in the US$25/night price. It too was nothing special, but adequate.
