Zafar Family Guesthouse

Forty paces off Pochaqul Hoji street, this detached family guesthouse sits inside Bukhara's old quarter, where mudbrick walls hide a private courtyard from the lane outside. A short walk covers Lyab-i Hauz pond and the Kalyan minaret, making it a fit for travelers touring Bukhara's UNESCO core on foot rather than by car.

Rooms open onto the courtyard through private entrances, with carpeted floors, individual AC units, and a shared kitchen for guests cooking their own meals. Breakfast can be taken to-go for early departures to Samarkand.

A rooftop terrace and sun deck overlook the surrounding rooftops, with bicycle rental available for exploring beyond the old city walls.
