Amelia Boutique Hotel is an upscale boutique property in Bukhara's city centre, close to Lyab-i Hauz and the Nadir Divan-Beghi Madrasa. It suits travellers who want a refined, small-scale base in the old town and are happy to walk to the major sights. The booking page rates the property class at four and shows an exceptional guest score from more than a hundred reviews, with guests often praising the helpful staff. Rooms are described as deluxe, with premium bedding, a minibar, an in-room safe, a flat-screen television, free tea and coffee and 24-hour room service. Facilities include a restaurant and bar, a terrace, free self-parking, free Wi-Fi and a concierge who can arrange local meal delivery. A free continental breakfast is included. Bike rentals are available, and the airport shuttle and supervised childcare carry extra charges. No swimming pool is mentioned, so this is a stylish old-town base rather than a resort. The page lists one room type, so there is little choice between categories, which keeps booking simple.
Location and getting around
The old town is the reason to stay here. The hotel names Lyab-i Hauz and the Nadir Divan-Beghi Madrasa as nearby, and the Kalyan complex and the Ark are walkable from the centre. Bukhara's lanes are best seen on foot in the early morning or after dark, when the domes and the pond are lit, and a central hotel makes that easy. For longer trips, taxis are inexpensive, and the hotel can help arrange them, along with transfers from the railway station, which lies well outside the old city.
The rooms and who it suits
With a single deluxe room type, the choice is simple, and the room features suit travellers who like comfort and a few treats, such as a minibar, tea and coffee and round-the-clock room service. Couples and independent travellers will feel at home, and the terrace is a pleasant place to unwind. Families are welcome, and one child under five can stay free using existing beds, though space is limited by the single room type. It is a better pick for atmosphere and service than for facilities.
Good to know
Check-in runs from the afternoon into the evening, with a minimum age of seventeen, and check-out is before eleven. Pets are not allowed. There is no pool, so factor that in for midsummer heat, when a hotel with a pool may be more comfortable. Book ahead for spring and autumn, when old-town hotels fill. Ask about a transfer from the station when you book.
