"Very helpful staff"

"I stayed for two nights, and the hostel itself was quite decent – ​​the room was clean, the breakfast was okay. I also went on an organized tour to Muynak from the hostel. I was originally planning to go there myself, but the weather was so bad that I didn't risk it. In addition to the former shore of the Aral Sea and the ship graveyard, we also visited a typical old cemetery and a camel farm (although almost all the camels had gone for a walk, we did try some salted milk). We didn't get to see the Aral Sea Museum because the wind damaged a power line, and there was no power. I'd especially like to commend the conscientiousness of our guide and hostel employee, Atabek, who then took us to another museum – an ecology museum – but there was no power there either. And although none of this was his fault, of course, as compensation, he took us to one of the Khorezm fortresses (Gyaur Kala Khodjeyli) located near an ancient cemetery, which was also very interesting to explore. Overall, I was very pleased with both my stay at the hostel and the tour."

"What a fabulous hotel. Great location to access the museum and restaurants close by. All staff very friendly. Great Wi-Fi. Breakfast was included and was of a good standard. Would recommend and stay again. We used their travel services to book our Aral Sea tour which was excellent too."

"Excellent value for money, highly recommended."

"Nice hotel with good breakfast"

"The hotel had excellent facilities and a very generous breakfast. Dina at the front desk was especially kind and helpful; she was beautiful and kind."

"A very large spacious room, with working air-con and very friendly people. They happily arranged a daytrip for us to Muynak and Mizdarkhan with little notice and a good price. Nowhere near as touristy as Khiva, the Karakalpak people were shy, much much more authentic and genuinely happy to meet tourists from far away lands (like Canada). So I highly recommend staying a night in Nukus if thinking of exploring the former Aral Sea, the Savitzky Museum or the necropolis. Don't do it from Khiva, it is just too far and too long of a day (but do check out the desert fortresses along the way from Khiva to Nukus, such as Chilpik Dakhma, Gyuar-Kala and Janpik Kala). Nukus is a much quieter city, but there is good restaurants nearby (Palvan Shakh and the Grand Lavash) and you can walk to the museum from here easily (you could even walk to the airport if you wanted)."

"This hotel is way too expensive for the quality and service you get. It's about 50% more expensive than every hotel or guest house we stayed in throughout Uzbekistan and by far the worst place we stayed. The breakfast was not very good, and the shower was a joke--a bathtub without a shower curtain you stand in and can't help but get water all over the floor. The bed was hard and the room wasn't nicely decorated nor comfortable in any way. Plus, they charged us 100,000 UZS (about $8 US) for an early check in. They wanted 150,000, but I complained and they reduced it. We've checked in early in two other hotels in Uzbekistan and no one ever mentioned an extra charge. I think the owners are money-hungry and working off their old reputation. We stayed here the night before our Aral Sea trip and then in a private apartment in Nukus after our trip which was infinitely more comfortable, nicer and cheaper. Stay away from this place."
