Orient Star Khiva Hotel- Madrasah Muhammad Aminkhan 1855

Lovely boutique hotel conveniently located within the city walls. Bedrooms are in old student rooms of the old madrasa overlooking a central courtyard. Breakfast was usual buffet table and located across the road in separate building. A great town to visit.

This hotel is an old historical Madrassah I stayed at this lovely place whilst on a Wild Frontiers tour of Uzbekistan. It's location is inside the old city wall. Khiva itself was the highlight of my holiday. Staying in this hotel was a big contribution to that. The rooms are the students cells. The rooms are furnished with traditional style furniture. The bathroom had everything you needed. Our group all agreed it had a great atmosphere and was a very good location. You could walk around this place on your own and feel safe doing so. The only thing is that the beds have very hard mattresses. They could do with a mattress topper to help get a comfortable nights sleep. The breakfast is served in another Madrassah just across the road. There is a good selection of food for all tastes. It is buffet service. I felt very privileged to have stayed in this lovely historical place.

A superbly converted madrassa, used to be a school so you're staying in a student room with original features. Full of character, beds are hard ! Overlooking a magical courtyard. Breakfast selection in a huge restaurant will knock your brains out.

Such an impressive historic building in which this hotel is housed that tourists come to admire the courtyard. Situated in the historic center, but very calm place. The rooms are simply, but comfortably furnished. The breakfast buffet is served in the immediately nearby building with a beautiful breakfast room. Very friendly staff, cleanliness guaranteed and very good value for money. Recommended!
