The three-star Rahnamo Hotel offers 13 rooms in the centre of Nukus, close to the Museum of Art, dubbed the lost Louvre of Uzbekistan by The Guardian. The gallery is home to one of the world’s greatest collections of avant-garde art, once hidden from sight due to Stalin’s ban.

This simple hotel is within easy reach of the train station, which is just over three miles away, and you’ll find local shops and restaurants close by, so you can soak up a flavour of the local life and dine among the locals.

The rooms are basic but a good quality for the city of Nukus, and each one has satellite TV, air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, plus an en-suite bathroom with either a shower or a bath. There is a bright and airy small restaurant where you can start the day with breakfast, a 24-hour bar for a few drinks, plus a shared kitchen if you’d like to make your own meals during your time in Nukus.
