Good experience but …
Pros:

Top localisation

Cons:

I stayed at the Orient Star Khiva, a hotel created from a former madrasa in Khiva’s old town.The setting is beautiful, and the breakfast is varied and served in a separate building. which is a nice detail. However, my stay was seriously affected by noisy tourists wandering into the hotel areas, which made the space feel less private.” Overall, the location and breakfast were highlights, but the noise and lack of privacy really affected my stay.
The taxi fare to the airport was three times the normal price, which was another disappointing aspect of the experience
Hotel staff should be responsible for ensuring the privacy and comfort of guests, preventing outside visitors from disturbing hotel residents. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t seem attentive to this at all

Un soggiorno in una struttura dall'architettura che ti immerge nella storia del paese.
Pros:

La struttura, una antica madrasa è bellissima; contigua col + famoso minareto di Khiva ; anche la posizione è perfetta all'interno del centro storico, con ottimi ristoranti a due passi. Cordiale e disponibile il personale.

Cons:

La colazione è miglliorabile, cominque piu che sufficiente.

Einmaliges Erlebnis in einer Medrese zu übernachten
Pros:

Ein Traum von Architektur, ist ein echtes Erlebnis hier zu übernachten. Die Zimmer im oberen Stock sind besonders toll, mit kleinem Balkon.

Cons:

Bei den niedrigen Temperaturen ist es im Zimmer bzw Bad doch eher kühl.

Good stay
Pros:

Reception staff was very hospitable and friendly.
Proximity to Kalta Minor landmark.
The atmosphere of medieval times.

Cons:

Rooms are overloaded with furniture therefore space is even less. Facilities like cafe-bar are poor. This level of hotels should provide food Coffee choice at least.
