Hotel Uzbekistan

The hotel is located in the best place for tourism, and it is part of the legend itself! The price is reasonably low for such a monumental hotel.

The check-in staff was a bit rude when I checked in in the evening; there were two young male staff members. One of them told the white guy in front of me every detail about the hotel, and when it was my turn, he didn't say anything extra. Sounds rude. My first assigned room (floor 9 facing the plaza) did not have a functional AC, and it was hot until very late at night!! I complained on the second morning, and they changed my room to the 14th floor facing the other side, which has a nice view and a good air conditioner. The breakfast was supposed to be good with a variety of options, but it was a bit too crowded. The first morning, the coffee machine was broken. The lobby bar does not have AC in the hot hot summer afternoon, which is also weird to me.

Breakfast was nice, much wider variety of dishes than I expected. Exceptionally good mattress, better than in almost all hotels I ever visited. Other than that - you should understand, that you're paying not for the room, but for the building. Soviet architecture, fancy lobby, 15th floor and city view, central location, etc. Speaking of the room itself - you can find many much better rooms in Tashkent for half the price, even with breakfast included. But the building itself is one of a kind, and I stayed here for a single night just because of that.

Beware loud weddings in the banquet hall. I asked for a room on the top floor and it was perfectly quiet, but I assume living on the second floor could be quite problematic. There was no hot water in the room until late evening, but with +44 degrees outside I did not really need hot water that much. Not enough power outlets in the room, you need to decide what do you want more: tea or tv, charge a laptop or light a table lamp. No bedside lights (I didn't even know I was so used to them!)

Excellent facility, good location very friendly and professional staff specially Aziz was very helpful.

None

I wouldn't stay here again or recommend anyone to stay here. BUT 1. Metro is 100 meters away. 2. 24 hours money exchange. 3. Good breakfast. 4. The exterior of grandeur and legacy. 5. Timur square and Tashkent Chimes close by.

1. The building really needs renovation. 2. Flooring, bathroom fittings need replacement. 3. There's nothing for restaurants close by. 4. Air-conditioning was bad for the summer hot August. 5. Price charged is very high for the quality provided.
