The Property — Гостиница ART RAKAT
ART RAKAT is a functional three-star in Tashkent’s Yakkasaray district, a short walk from the metro and the bazaar. The lobby is clean and modern, with marble floors and a small reception desk that moves quickly. Rooms are compact but well-kept, with air conditioning that actually works in July. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a reliable bed, good breakfast, and easy access to the city’s Soviet-era sights without paying for frills.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was a key Silk Road trading post from the 4th century BCE, later a Timurid and then Tsarist garrison town. A massive earthquake in 1966 levelled much of the old city, so today’s central Tashkent is rebuilt in a broad-grid Soviet modernist style with wide boulevards and brutalist concrete blocks. Following independence in 1991, new mosques and neo-traditional facades have appeared, but the metro stations—chandeliers, marble, mosaics—remain the most vivid legacy of the Soviet era. Tashkent now blends Central Asian hospitality, late-Soviet infrastructure, and a cautious, car-heavy modernity.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
April–May and September–October: daytime temps in the mid-20s °C, clear skies, fewer crowds than summer, and pleasant evenings for walking the Amir Temur Square or Chorsu Bazaar.
Peak / festival surge
July–August: daytime highs regularly hit 38–42°C, and the city empties out. Hotel prices are low because of the heat, but the Nauryz festival in March is the big local event. ART RAKAT rates are moderate year-round; no big surge.
Budget shoulder season
March–April and October–November: 15–25°C, fewer tourists, and discounted rooms. You can still enjoy outdoor sites without baking or freezing.
Weather & packing
July in Tashkent is brutally dry: expect 40°C by noon, but it drops to the mid-20s after sunset. Pack light, breathable cottons and linens, plus a decent sun hat and a reusable water bottle—never forget a water bottle.
Live City Briefing — Tashkent
- The Tashkent City development (a new financial district around the Congress Hall) is still expanding; several modern cafes and a pedestrian precinct opened near the Minor Mosque in late 2025.
- The Chorsu Bazaar’s main dome building is undergoing a phased renovation through 2027; stalls are still open but expect some scaffolding and temporary relocations.
- New electric buses now run on route 18 (linking the railway station to the airport), making airport transfers slightly easier than before.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Гостиница ART RAKAT, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Rooms on the 3rd floor at the rear of the building avoid the street side. Request a room facing away from Belarik Street for the quietest stay.
Rooms to avoid
Skip ground-floor rooms on the street side; they catch traffic noise from Belarik Street. Also avoid rooms directly opposite the lift on any floor due to clatter.
Best views
Rooms facing away from Belarik Street look over a quieter residential courtyard, better than the main road view. No river or landmark is nearby, so view is basic but calmer.
Quietest floors
3rd floor (top floor if the building is 3 storeys) and rear-facing rooms on the 2nd floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Belarik Street is a local road, likely with buses and taxis from morning until late evening. The lift shaft may hum on adjacent rooms. No bar on site, but the lobby can be lively at check-in times.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a rear-facing room at booking – it cuts street noise significantly. 2) If driving, parking is likely on a side street; check with reception for an allocated spot to avoid circling.
- 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

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
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.

Top Attractions in 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.
