Hotel Asia Khiva

The accommodation's strengths include varied, high-quality breakfast, helpful staff, clean and spacious rooms, and convenient location for exploring Khiva's attractions. Some guests enjoyed the comfortable twin beds and views.

In this pretty hotel, unfortunately the negatives outweighed the positives. The bathroom had no hot water, no grab bars in the bathtub, no washcloths and not enough shelf space. The bedroom could use a comfortable chair, and there was no omelet station in the dining room. There were several positives. The bedroom and pillows were comfortable, the AC worked well and there were many outlets. But the best thing about the hotel was pool and the beautiful gardens which were a joy to walk through on the way to the dining room.

We stayed here for one night in April. It was acceptable. The rooms were nice (though the bed was a bit hard). We phoned the front desk because our AC wasn't working, and they came right away to fix it. Though it never got cool in the room. An hour after that service call, we phoned the reception to ask for conditioner, and they said they'd send it up right away - but it never came. The bidet also didn't work properly, but at least they had one. There was a kettle in the room, but no tea or coffee. There were items in the mini fridge, but no indication whether they were free, available for a fee, or left over from past guests. The garbage can in the washroom was full of previous guests' toilet paper "remains", which was rather disgusting. We didn't bother phoning about it, since they didn't bother showing up last time they said they would. The breakfast was acceptable, fairly basic and only one coffee machine for cappucinos etc. so it was a long queue for that. I don't think there are a lot of options in Khiva, so we can recommend this hotel. A few annoyances, but overall it was good.
