A propriedade — Ark Billur
The Ark Billur is a Soviet-era three-star hotel in central Tashkent, with a functional lobby of polished marble and a tired but clean atmosphere. Its USP is honest affordability and a location near the city's main boulevard, not luxury. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a reliable base for a short stopover, not a romantic retreat.
Crónicas de Tashkent
Tashkent was founded over 2,200 years ago as a Silk Road oasis settlement. It was almost entirely rebuilt after the devastating 1966 earthquake, leading to its current broad, Soviet-style boulevards and utilitarian concrete blocks. Today's city mixes that Soviet grid with flashy modern malls and rebuilt Islamic landmarks like the Hazrat Imam complex, aiming for a new identity as a business and transit hub for Central Asia.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ark Billur, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
High floor on the quieter side facing away from Yangi Kuyluk main road, such as 5th floor or higher, where you might see inner courtyard or city skyline without direct street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on lower floors (1st to 3rd), especially those facing the main street, as they pick up traffic rumble from Yangi Kuyluk road and any restaurant or bar noise from the ground floor.
Best views
A room on a high floor (5 or above) with a window facing the inner courtyard or the rear side of the hotel – nothing spectacular, but you’ll avoid the main road view; fronts face Yangi Kuyluk busy street.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 to 7 (assuming 7 or 8 total floors), as this hotel is a modest 3-star and unlikely to have high-rise construction; upper floors reduce street-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on Yangi Kuyluk street, a main thoroughfare in Mirobod district used by cars, minibuses, and occasional trucks. Ground floor may have a café or bar; reception area can have chatter. Lift is likely basic and audible near rooms directly adjacent.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on floor 5 or 6, preferably ending in an odd number if possible (these often face away from the street). If arriving by car, note parking is likely on-street or small lot; check if they offer secured parking. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper – the street noise is real even on high floors.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Station 'Sebzor' (connected via metro to Bodomzor) → Tashkent City Centre
💡 Trams are slow but give you a real local vibe. Line 1 passes through older neighbourhoods with tree-lined streets. Not ideal for hotel transfer, but do this for a cheap city tour another day.
Airport bus stop (outside arrivals) → Hotel NICE (nearest stop: 'Mustaqillik Maydoni' on Sharof Rashidov Street)
💡 Bus 11 runs directly past the hotel area. Use Yandex Maps for real-time stop alerts, as announcements are in Uzbek only. Have small change or a transport card.
Station 'Bodomzor' (west of city, not at airport) → Station 'Mustaqillik Maydoni' (Independence Square)
💡 Metro stops short of airport—you need bus 11 from airport to Bodomzor station first. But metro is worth it for Tashkent's stunning Soviet-era tile decoration. No photos allowed inside stations until recently, but now okay discretely.
Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport (TAS) → Hotel NICE (near Mustaqillik Maydoni)
💡 Book via Yandex Go app for fixed price; avoid drivers inside the terminal who quote 3x more. Stand near the exit gate for better GPS signal.

Principais atrações em Tashkent
💡 Go early morning (8-9am) to see the bread coming fresh from the tandyr ovens. Free to walk around but carry small sums for a cup of tea or a samsa.
💡 Sit on a bench near the fountain side around 5pm when locals gather. No ticket needed for the park, but if you want to see a performance, cheap balcony seats start from 30,000 som.
💡 The small library next to the mosque (entrance around 5,000 som) contains the 7th-century Othman Quran – worth the modest fee if you're interested. Best visited at sunset for golden light on the tiles.
💡 The circular panoramic painting inside gives a good overview of Timur's conquests. Avoid weekends when school groups arrive.
💡 The building itself is more interesting than many exhibits: carved wooden ceilings and painted walls. Go on a weekday afternoon to have the place almost to yourself. There's a small cafe in the courtyard.
