Salom alaykum! From Bukhara we went to Samarkand to the Antika B&B near the Gur Emir Mausoleum. We were welcomed by Aziza. Together with her sister Kutbiya, both former tourist guides, they run the B&B. That is why you can speak in English , in German, in Russian…. without any problem. They understand everything. A nephew is now studying French.... More

We stayed at Antika the first night we arrived in Uzbekistan. Wonderful location, the best breakfast we had in Uzbekistan, and owners Aziza and her sister are wonderful hosts. Best price for a guest-house we stayed at in Uzbekistan (they are ALL expensive we discovered!) Only complaints were they were doing renovation when we were there so it was dusty... More

I haven't stayed there, but found this B&B while walking around Gur-Emir mausoleum, as it's located just nearby. I wasn't happy with the place we stayed at that time (Jahongir) and wanted to have a look at something else. The owner- woman who takes care of Antika- was very pleasant. She let me walk around and look at one of... More

We stayed in Antika on our way back through Samarkand (we stayed in the Jahongir on the way through) and found it to be a very pleasant place to stay. There are two parts to it now - we stayed in the part which is along a little alley from the other one which was a very well appointed room... More

I stayed here for one night on a very brief trip in Uzbekistan. The room was clean, comfortable, with hot water. I left really early and so missed breakfast, which everyone here has raved about. But had nice tea and bread with jam on arrival. The owners are very welcoming, friendly and hospitable. It's in a great location for walking... More

Fantastic oasis with the absolutely best breakfast we had in Usbekistan. The two sisters do a great job but one of them is quite business-minded. It seemed to us that room rates vary in function of your country of origin.. The dinner they offer at their friends old merchants house is not worth the price. They also organise trips to... More

We stayed here in a double room with en-suite bathroom for 4 nights and loved it. The room rate for a double with ensuite was USD50/night, payable in USD as the guest house charges the black market exchange rate. The hotel is easy to locate when approaching from the Gur-e-Amir Masoleum side; enter the furtherest left hand entrance through the... More

My brother and I stayed at Antika and we loved it. It is situated in a little alley and within walking distance of all the sights in Samarkand. The owners are extremely hospitable and the breakfasts are great. The accommodation is clean and we had a very enjoyable stay there - I would thoroughly reccommend it....

I had stayed at this B&B 6 years ago and, when an opportunity came up to visit Samarkand again, I knew that I would want to stay there again. Antica is an excellent value for your money - the rooms have air conditioning, are decorated in the traditional style, and the staff are amazing. The hospitality is unparalleled; everyone is... More

It's located very close to Amir Timur Mausoleum and less than 10 minutes walk to Registan square. We stayed in a double-bed room for 50$ per night per room (including breakfast), including breakfast. The room was neat and clean. Shower sometimes had low pressure but it wasn't too bad. They seem to open the annex during high season and the... More
