Salom Inn

There is probably no more pleasant stay for a tourist in Bukhara than around the old pond of Lyabi Hauz. To the 'Salom Inn' it is hardly 100m meters from there through an arch onto a pedestrian alley. The hotel is in an old town house with a lovely courtyard, where one can sit down and relax and where also breakfast is served (for colder times there is an indoor breakfast area). My room was in a corner of the first floor, thus I had the privilege of windows on the side towards another alley. I was glad that I had booked a twin room, so I could profit from the unused bed as a storage place, since that was missing. There were some hooks on the wall with metal cloth hangers and also two drawers, but full with blankets and bed covers (completely useless in this season). What I liked was the old ceiling with beams, the carpets and the well sized bathroom had shampoo and bath gel dispensers in the shower. Also the bed was comfortable. In the evenings one gets asked about the preferred breakfast time, which is served as of 8am. Fruits are brought, usually melons, then bread, margarine, slices of cheese, yoghurt and two very sweet jams. It was fun to watch that the wasps and bees always went for the quince jam, not the cherry. There is also a choice of omelette or fried eggs. It was strange to observe that every time breakfast was served, with all the food, coffee cup and cutlery, never a plate came along. Was one supposed to smear the margarine onto the bread slice in one's palm? A plate only comes with the eggs, if one has ordered any. They have beautiful plates and maybe there had been a problem, that they got stolen. Even when one has hardly finished eating, the plate gets taken away without asking by a rather unfriendly lady, who also works at reception. The leftover food though can stay there for a long time afterwards. My suggestion to the hotel is to use cheaper plates and to leave all that stress.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this small family run hotel in the middle of the old town when I was working for 5 weeks on an international mission in Bukhara. The rooms are large, clean, beds are very comfortable and breakfast lovely. The owner and her staff know how to make guests feel at home and they are very helpful. I will definitely come back, and highly recommend the hotel.

The location was fantastic, right in the center of the tourist center of Bukhara. Everybody was super friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and spacious and the courtyard was perfect for breakfast. The wifi worked best in the courtyard or the second story lounge area.

Such a sweet, charming Inn with an equally sweet and charming owner and employees. Lovely rooms and beautiful courtyard for breakfast and just relaxing. Great location in the old part of town. Highly recommend.

The hotel is well located just a few meters away from the main square. Service was excellent. Both members of staff we dealt with were super professional and very friendly. Breakfast is really good and way above expectations. Room was good but could get much better. Bathroom could use much improvement. Overall, I highly recommend staying at Salom Inn for the location and service and for the breakfast too!

Первый раз в Узбекистане. Решили начать с Бухары, потом Самарканд и Ташкент. Советую начинать именно с Бухары! Отель Salom inn-прекрасный аутентичный отель. Приехали очень рано, заренее списались и нас поселии в 7 утра (за доп плату). Немного не угадали с номером. Когда бронировали на Островке 2 номера, то площать обоих была 20м2. Один с двуспальной кроватью, другой с 2-мя кроватями. А на деле, тот что с 2-х спальной оказался гораздо меньше и ванная тоже в 2 раза меньше. Мы не стали предъявлять претензии, но кому это важно, обращате внимание. Отель аутентичный, со внутренним двориком. В номерах нет шкафов, только вешалки, матрасы удобные, белье новое, одеяло и 2 подушки хорошие. В ванной фен(для сушки, не для укладки), шампунь, гель для душа, тапочки.Завтрак накрывают с 7 до 9 утра, не шведский стол. На выбор яичница или омлет или каша и блины, фрукты, варенье, сок, кефир, чай, кофе. Голодными не останетесь. Персонал, как впрочим и все люди в Узбекистане, очень учтивый, готовы помочь. Самое главное-это расположение, в самом центре старого города, напротив Ляби Хауз. Вечером жизнь кипит, много ресторанов. Цены на отели в Бухаре кусаются. Но это и понятно, чем ближе отель к старому городу, тем дороже. Стоит ли он таких денег(90 долларов за ночь)? Ну это с чем сравнивать. Конечно по евпропейским меркам-нет. Но по российским-стоит. Бронируйте его напрямую-будет дешевле.
