服務態度非常好，早餐也很好吃，這邊的服務人員可以無障礙進行英語交流，就是來這邊住二樓更舒服，一樓會聽到二樓走路的聲音，還有看電視的聲音

There is probably no more pleasant stay for a tourist in Bukhara than around the old pond of Lyabi Hauz. To the 'Salom Inn' it is hardly 100m meters from there through an arch onto a pedestrian alley. The hotel is in an old town house with a lovely courtyard, where one can sit down and relax and where also breakfast is served (for colder times there is an indoor breakfast area). My room was in a corner of the first floor, thus I had the privilege of windows on the side towards another alley. I was glad that I had booked a twin room, so I could profit from the unused bed as a storage place, since that was missing. There were some hooks on the wall with metal cloth hangers and also two drawers, but full with blankets and bed covers (completely useless in this season). What I liked was the old ceiling with beams, the carpets and the well sized bathroom had shampoo and bath gel dispensers in the shower. Also the bed was comfortable. In the evenings one gets asked about the preferred breakfast time, which is served as of 8am. Fruits are brought, usually melons, then bread, margarine, slices of cheese, yoghurt and two very sweet jams. It was fun to watch that the wasps and bees always went for the quince jam, not the cherry. There is also a choice of omelette or fried eggs. It was strange to observe that every time breakfast was served, with all the food, coffee cup and cutlery, never a plate came along. Was one supposed to smear the margarine onto the bread slice in one's palm? A plate only comes with the eggs, if one has ordered any. They have beautiful plates and maybe there had been a problem, that they got stolen. Even when one has hardly finished eating, the plate gets taken away without asking by a rather unfriendly lady, who also works at reception. The leftover food though can stay there for a long time afterwards. My suggestion to the hotel is to use cheaper plates and to leave all that stress.

Such a sweet, charming Inn with an equally sweet and charming owner and employees. Lovely rooms and beautiful courtyard for breakfast and just relaxing. Great location in the old part of town. Highly recommend.
