The Property — house de moon
House de Moon in Tashkent is a modest three-star hotel with clean, compact rooms and a functional lobby that smells faintly of fresh bread from the adjacent bakery. Its USP is location: a ten-minute walk from the Amir Timur Museum and central Metro station, making it a solid base for budget travellers who want to be near sights without paying for frills. The vibe is practical and no-nonsense, suited to backpackers or short-stay business visitors who value efficiency over atmosphere.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent traces its origins to at least the 2nd century BC as a Silk Road oasis settlement. After the 1966 earthquake razed most of the old city, the Soviet Union rebuilt it on a grand scale, resulting in wide boulevards, brutalist concrete blocks and leafy parks that give it a distinctly Central Asian-meets-Soviet character. Today, independence is tangible in the soaring new mosques and the impressive Metro system, whose stations are decorated like underground palaces. The city blends Uzbek, Russian and modern influences, with a vibrant cafe culture and a renewed focus on its pre-Soviet Islamic heritage.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
April (17-25°C, blossoming parks), September (20-28°C, harvest season) and October (12-22°C, clear skies) offer comfortable sightseeing without peak summer heat.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak with temperatures averaging 30-40°C; it coincides with the Navruz celebrations (March) and summer school holidays. Hotel prices rise 20-30% in July; the main driver is the Central Asian heat drawing domestic tourists plus a few international visitors avoiding colder months.
Budget shoulder season
May and September are ideal for discounts – 10-15% cheaper than July, still warm but not punishing, fewer tourists at major sites like the Khast Imam Complex.
Weather & packing
July in Tashkent is a dry, intense heat with frequent strong sun but occasional dust storms from the neighbouring steppes. Pack lightweight, long-sleeved cotton clothing, a wide-brimmed hat and a reusable water bottle; avoid synthetic fabrics as they stick in the humidity-free heat.
Live City Briefing — Tashkent
- The Tashkent Metro now accepts contactless bank cards directly at turnstiles – no need to queue for tokens. This applies to all lines including the new Chilonzor extension.
- Construction on the main east-west road (Shota Rustaveli Street) may cause intermittent bus delays through July; use the Metro as a faster alternative.
- Several new craft beer bars and a modern coffee shop have opened near the Minor mosque area, but the summer menu at most central restaurants stays the same – heavy on shashlik and laghman – so be prepared for limited variety during Ramadan or hot days.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to house de moon, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Upper floors facing the courtyard or the quieter side streets off the main boulevard. Rooms on floors 4 and 5 tend to be quieter and have better natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on floor 1 or 2 directly above the lobby or near the stairwell – the entrance area can get busy, and there’s foot traffic noise from guests coming and going. Avoid rooms overlooking the main road if you need quiet: the street can be busy with traffic, especially in the mornings and evenings.
Best views
The hotel sits on a main road in central Tashkent, so front-facing rooms get a view of the tree-lined avenue and local life. Corner rooms may have a wider view, but the best is a higher-floor room angled away from the busiest junction.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the highest and most removed from street-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Tashkent traffic is constant during weekdays, with some honking. The hotel’s street-facing side can also pick up noise from the nearby bazaar or market activity during the day. Late-night noise is minimal, but early morning deliveries or street sweeping can be audible on lower floors.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on floor 4 or 5 and specify 'courtyard side' when booking – this avoids most street noise. 2. The hotel has free parking in a small lot around back; ask at check-in to reserve a spot, as it fills quickly.
- 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.
