Basically a big local house open to guests! The owner is super kind and helpful (with bags, requests, city indications...); the rooms are upstairs and the rich breakfast is served in the big living room downstairs. In a few minutes by foot you can reach the walls of the Old Town and enter them, discovering all the sights of it! 
As we needed two drivers/taxis to go to Bukhara, the owner called them for us, at the time we wanted them, and also suggested to stop to see the old fortresses on the way (Turpak Kala'), and so we did :)

Just outside Khiva's Old Town!!!

We wanted to be on the old part of Khiva near the wall and just showed up at the Orzu .The owner was able to accommodate the three of us in a triple off the courtyard which was a little small but comfortable. When a room in the main house became vacant we moved there. It was magnificent. The breakfast was really good. The owner speaks good English and was able to arrange other parts of the trip such as the ride to Nuchas. There is a grandmother who doesn't speak English but seems to anticipate and understand traveller's needs well with a big smile. We had to leave early for a flight and they kindly served breakfast early.

Great value

Basic rooms, quiet, simple, clean, excellent position, friendly and helpful staff, highly recommended if you are looking for a budget accomodation within the wall. Breakfast at table, not a buffet, but yet very good.

Recommended budget accomodation

Simply: very clean, inside the historical site and comfortable. The owner is very gentle and he can help with transfer or any other info are needed. Great jam for breakfast 😉. 
It definitely worth to stay.

A couple of night in Khiva!

I was accommodated in May 2019  for 3 nights at Orzu Guesthouse in Khiva. From the moment you enter  the lobby you are amazed by the nice traditional arrangement and decoration of the house.The guesthouse is located directly at the east  gate inside the Ichan Kala, on a small old-fashioned street. Near the lobby is the  eating room which again is very nice  decorated in traditinoal style. On arrival I was offered tea, water. Checkin is i the afternoon, but you can leave your luggage at the reception and start discovering the wonderful Khiva. The owners are an extremely friendly family, speaking a very good English (I really wonder about  some posts  here, in TripAdvisor saying that the  owners doesn't speak English - that's not true. With Mr, Shokir, the owner, I had arranged  also my  airport transfer from Urgench, the driver was waiting for me at the airport.  As I wanted to visit also some of the renowned ancient fortresses of Khorezm (Ayaz Kala, Toprak Kala and Kyzyl kala), I made also this arrangement with the Orzu guesthouse, the  owner  being extremely helpful  in giving lot of information.  MY room was a small room (I was traveling  single) - there were 2 single beds in the room, Room and bathroom are very clean,It is true that the tap 'shower water has an enough iron/sulfuric smell, this might be because of the old pipes in this ancient part of Khiva. But I could use the water both for shower and for washing mouth. Not for drinking. Beds are a bit hard, but I noticed during my travel in Uzbekistan that many places use not the softest beds. But, being a very quite area, I had a good sleep over the night. Yu don't enter the  reception lobby or the room with  your shoes, you leave them at the entrance, as inside  there are everywhere heavy carpets, and owners care a lot about the cleanness of the place. Breakfast was rich, with  cheese, eggs, salami, fruits and an excellent homemade jam, of course tea/ coffee as per  the wish. It is not buffet style, but the owners are serving themselves each guest. In this guesthouse, you really feel being  in a family and  I was really impressed by their friendly approach toward the guests. So, summing up , I can only highly recommend  this lovely guesthouse , Ozru, to every independent traveler to Khiva. Mostly that the place is very close to  the attractions and more, you feel very safe in the Ichan Kala.  Thank you a lot Mr. Shokir, for the pleasant stay I had at the  the Orzu guesthouse, which you and your family are managing  so good!

Very friendly and helpful owners, perfect cleanness

I was forced to look for the last minute accommodation because my original choice cancelled my stay because they were "overbooked". Orzu was one of the few available choices with the best reviews. My expectations were not high given the good price and availability on such a short notice but this place is below any decent standards even for the remote city in a country like Uzbekistan. The worst of all is the cleanliness of the room, which is shockingly regarded as high on other websites. A toilet is in a scary rusty condition, dirty and useless. The hot water from the shower smells horribly due to some oil which is used for the heating. I unfortunately noticed that a bit too late and couldn't wash off that disgusting stench for days afterwards. The owner does not speak a single word of English and his wife who is also in charge for running the place acts hostile and unwelcoming. I know the choices in Khiva are limited but do not make the same mistake I did and book this place only because the reviews might look good.

Just don't 

Excellent budget accommodation right inside the East Gate of the Itchan Kala. Beautiful dining room and nice breakfast. My room was a budget room with a pretty bathroom. Host and Hostess gracious and helpful.

Location and Service

The rooms are ok but neither really clean nor do they feel welcoming. It’s sparse decoration reminds of a youth hostel rather than of a guest house. 

The bathrooms are equipped with a lovely corner bathtub but the water is saturated with so much chlorine that I opted not to shower and got my bare feet of the 1990 rubber floor mat rather quickly. 

The owner of the guesthouse who also handles the reception speaks no English and it will be “sign language only” if you don’t speak Russian or Uzbek. Everything I asked seemed to be an unwelcome enquiry that meant extra work. I am talking about basic things like ordering a simple tea. 

The driver the guesthouse recommended to drive from khiva to the next destination was not really enjoyable company either. I paid a premium to get a car with AC - which he was reluctant to switch on - since he wanted to save fuel. Not pleasant at 43 degree Celsius outside temperature. I had better drivers that actually made an effort to show and represent Uzbekistan. 

The breakfast was good though. 
Fresh juice and local produce fruits and meat. 

The guest house is inside the walls of the city but far enough away from the main tourist attractions to not be noisy. 

I don’t think I will be staying here again since there is nicer alternatives for the same money - even though Khiva’s guesthouse and hotel landscape is rather scarce. 

Guest House - hospitality excluded 

We had 2 nights here and loved it. breakfast was amazing and family were so nice. Photos of rooms here do not do it justice... its nicer. Wifi was fine & better than in Australia. Bottled water was sold cold and cheap. You must try the apricot jam at breakfast ..... homemade and amazing. Bed was very comfortable and TV had international stations. Lots of hot water in shower & located next to ancient fort walls.  This is not the Hilton but it is the best homestay/guesthouse in Khiva.
