“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

The hotel is well located within the walled city; the hotel is traditionally built and has a certain charm. The room I had was good size, with air conditioning. The beds could have been firmer, the mattress was rather basic, the metal springs protruding into my back . It was reasonably clean, staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel also provided lunches and evening meals which had to be ordered in advance. The breakfast was fair comprising of the usual Uzbek breakfast fare of tea, eggs, fruit juice and bread, though the bread was similar to cardboard. The rooms would have benefited from having a fridge. It would also have been useful for the hotel to have Wi-Fi and internet access, I was however directed to another hotel about 500 metres away for WI-Fi which cost around 2000 som per hour.

“Good value, poor service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I arrived Arkanchi hotel as some Spanish girls I shared taxi from Bukhara had booking there. Good: The hotel is right in front of the old town, pretty modern and well decorated. Rooms are spacey and clean. It's great value for 7,000 som a night (with official rate $40 per night but with blackmarket rate about $28).
Bad: The mattress is too soft that I had strange dreams at night. It's too hot without air conditioner at night but too cold with airconditioner. (tried to control temperature but it was hard).. The service was almost non-existent and breakfast was pretty basic compared to all other hotels I stayed in Uzbekistan. So it depends on your preference really!

“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.
