What a great little hotel in a city that has so many guesthouses. I would highly recommend the hospitality of the owner and his well trained and kind young team. They were very helpful for my visit to Bukhara (an amazing city). I would recommend the Jr. Suite, as it doesn't cost much more and is spacious. Finally, the rooftop is very tranquil and a great place for an end of evening drink or break in the middle of a sightseeing day. I also had a massage for $20 USD and she was very good. Highly recommend this lovely little hotel. Also, eat at Ayvan, superb restaurant and Bukhara luckily benefits from many. Also a very new one called Restaurant Jam just across the road from this hotel. Enjoy.

I really enjoyed my stay at Amelia hotel, the hotel has character& history befitting to Bukhara and is centrally located. The customer service is exceptional, all the staff had impeccable manners and were so courteous and welcoming, especially Akbar who couldn’t do enough to make my stay comfortable. I enjoyed my conversations with the manager who gave me an insight into Uzbekistan culture and life. If I travel to Bukhara again I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else besides Amelia Boutique hotel! Thank you all for making my stay amazing !

Beautiful boutique hotel with great service
Exceptional service, nicely decorated rooms and perfect location. This is a gem of a boutique hotel. It looks like an old mansion with attractive common area and patios. The room is decorated with a Thousand and One Nights vibe. Meticulously clean. Modern large bathroom. Effective AC, super quiet at night and comfy bed. The breakfast has everything you can wish for, local delicacies, fresh fruit and vegies and eggs to order. The staff makes you feel at home. Steps away from the major attractions of this magical city. Highly recommended.

A lovely place. Excellent location for the old town, easily found by taxi drivers, clean, quiet and friendly. The hotel was a merchant’s house with a lot of character. They arranged rail tickets for me and an excellent guide. Breakfast was outstanding- local delicacies freshly prepared, fruit, salads, so much and beautifully presented.

It is a small boutique hotel which used to be a rich man’s house long time ago and then converted to a hotel. I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. It has an outstanding staff willing to help their guests in all aspects, they really go the extra mile to provide all help you need. I had a problem with my mobile phone cell line and the guy at the reception made the translation for me which helped a lot as I don’t speak Uzbek nor Russian. Their breakfast is amazingly cooked which tastes really delicious like a homemade breakfast fast. Most of the staff speaks fluent English especially guys at the reception. Also, the location is in the heart of old Bukhara city with 10 minutes walk to all attractions in the old city. All in all, I strongly recommend and would definitely stay again with them next time I am in Bukhara.

This is probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in. And that is saying something because we have lived and traveled abroad for several years. The historical remodeling of the hotel is excellent. You can’t beat location. And the service is amazing. The proprietors and staff were constantly asking us if we needed anything, if we wanted more tea. The breakfasts were superb. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Glorious hotel in Bukhara
Stunning hotel in an old Jewish merchants’s house in Bukhara. The owner and all of the staff are delightful and made our stay a pleasure. Big comfortable bed in the mirror room - decor, bathroom, everything perfect. Breakfast was delicious and very generous. Prices are more Western European than Uzbekistan but the Amelia will make for a very comfortable stay.

Outstanding Stay and Service!
Excellent experience. Appreciated, in particular the following: 1) Early check in, very accommodating. 2) Arranging the most knowledgeable and personable guide I had in Uzbekistan by far. 3) I had a lot of details around my stay including getting logistical issues sorted. Their attention to detail and service level, especially Talib at the front desk, was exceptional.

You are likely to have a “HOLY SH*T!” Moment when you are shown your room. And the breakfast room. And the roof terrace. That, and the staff insists you take complimentary tea or coffee at all hours of the day. Favorite guesthouse in seven weeks in Central Asia.

Very good stay.
The hotel is conveniently located just at the start of the old city. The staff is very friendly and helpful especially Jamshed, Saeed and the lady serving breakfast. The staff obliged but giving us an extra hour to check out. The rooms are not overly large but very quaintly decorated. However it was disappointing to see that laundry had been hung outside our room on a string the day we were checking out.

The Amelia Boutique Hotel is a beautiful old Bukharan merchant’s house converted into a hotel. The hotel is full of character! Rooms are large with beautiful molding in the wall, arched doorways and elaborately carved wooden doors. And even with all this character, the rooms are outfitted with every convenience - free Wi-Fi, large flat-screened tv, mini-fridge, etc. Bathroom is sparkling clean with very nice fittings. Best thing about this hotel is the staff!! Especially Bakhodir, at reception, who went over and above to help me with planning my trip - helped me obtain train tickets, arranged for early check-in and late check-our due to my travel plans, etc. Bakhodir graciously and enthusiastically greeted me upon arrival, and he and the staff have catered to my every need - I feel very well taken care of, with maps and lots of information on seeing the sights of Bukhara! Highly recommend Amelia Hotel and it’s staff!!

I liked absolutely everything about this place. Nice and clean. Fantastic location. Right next to the Chinara restaurant, where you could eat right after the arrival. The hotel has a very nice terrace on the top with traditional topchans. The staff was very friendly and always present whenever I needed them. The breakfast place is like a small museum 18th century, under UNESCO protection. Highly recommend this place!

Beautiful hotel in Bukhara
The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. Breakfast is good and included. In the afternoon and evening they brought us tea to our room for free. The staff were nice and helpful. The hotel is less than 5 minutes from the main square and walking distance to all major sights, restaurants and other amenities. There is an ATM in the hotel next door.

Lovely relaxing, quiet hotel next to old town.
We had a great stay at Amelia. It is very well located on edge of old town. The hotel has a lovely relaxing ambience with a great roof terrace. Good breakfast and very attentive staff. A special mention must be made of Tolib who made this hotel extra special. He is a good source of restaurants and things to do. The room was lovely and there were nice touches like free tea and coffee. Would recommend that you take your own toiletries as only liquid soap is provided.

From the moment we arrived for our 3 night stay, Doston, an amazing, kind guy on reception saw to all our needs with courtesy and politeness. His English was very good which allowed us to get everything we needed. The location was amazing, the rooms vibrant and all completely decorated differently. The breakfast was good, eggs made for you and everything else brought to your table, fruit, cheese, meat, pancakes, cakes, etc. The roof top area is a great way to spend the late afternoon and evening watching the sun go down with a beer or two. Tolib, also works there and he also was very good with helping us with what we needed. We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

Amelia is one of the nicest hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The staff were helpful and friendly, the location is excellent. The rooms were truly breathtaking - each one is beautifully and ornately decorated and situated around a shady courtyard. The comfort and cleanliness were greater than I have had in hotels twice the price in the same area. I can't recommend it highly enough!
