Review: Hotel Uzbekistan

Within 3 weeks we stayed 3 times at Hotel Uzbekistan.

General apperance

The Hotel Uzbekistan was build during Soviet times to host the foreign travellers and still shows off its splendor. The architecture is a mix of European and Oriental style. It has 17 floors, a restaurant on the top floor, a bar and coffee shop on the ground floor as well as gym.

Location

The hotel is right at the Amir Timur Maydoni and just 10 km from airport and 7 from the railway station. Outside on the right is the Metro station that gives you access to the rest of the town. If you are looking for some cheaper restaurants, walk the street left or right from the hotel to the next intersection and then look out.

Rooms

I had a single room and Inka and Andreas a double room. Basically both rooms offered a double bed, but mine was smaller and offered just a chair and desk, while the other also had armchairs and couch table.

single

The rooms were clean, nicely decorated with Uzbek cloth. The bathroom featured a shower, only the towels were sometimes a it worn.

Breakfast

Four times we were served a buffet style breakfast with a lot of choice from fruit to sausage, including a cook preparing eggs at request.

Once we were leaving early, so they served us in the lobby a prepared breakfast at 4:15 am.

Other

The hotel offered official money exchange but due to the rate we did not take advance of it.

Instead we used their safe deposit for our money.

In the lobby, there was also free wifi without password and a lot of seating areas to host the internet junkies.

A bit behind the scenees, you could find a souvenir shops and several ATMs that only gave Dollars.
