The Property — International Hotel Tashkent
The International Hotel Tashkent is a grandiose Soviet-era five-star, all marble and chandeliers, that feels like stepping into a diplomatic reception from the 1970s. Its USP is being the city’s only property with a direct metro exit inside the lobby – you hear the trains rumble underfoot. It suits business travellers and history buffs who appreciate faded grandeur and central location; expect formal service, a pool in the basement, and a breakfast spread that nods to both plov and continental.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was founded over 2,200 years ago as a Silk Road oasis, then rebuilt from scratch after a devastating 1966 earthquake. The Soviets turned it into a model grid city of broad avenues and brutalist blocks, leaving only a few madrasahs and the Khast Imam complex as pre-quake clues. Today it’s a surprisingly green, orderly capital of 2.7 million, where Soviet concrete meets Japanese-funded metro stations and a young café scene. Its identity is quietly cosmopolitan: a crossroads where Uzbek, Russian, Korean and Tatar cultures mix over non-alcoholic beer and pomegranate tea.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
April, May and September – spring blossoms and autumn gold, with temperatures in the low 20s°C and thin crowds before/after peak.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak due to European summer holidays and Navruz spillover (late March); July averages 36°C, hotels like this one often sell out at premium rates. No single event drives July – it’s pure heat-driven school-holiday inertia.
Budget shoulder season
October and early November are best budget shoulder months: still mild (18–25°C), hotel rates drop 20–30%, and fewer tourists mean empty streets in the old town.
Weather & packing
Tashkent is one of the hottest capitals on earth in summer, with heatwaves that can crack 44°C. Pack a wide-brimmed hat, breathable linen, and a reusable water bottle – you’ll refill at the hotel’s filtered stations, not from the tap.
Live City Briefing — Tashkent
- Tashkent Metro’s new Circle Line opened fully in early 2026, connecting the airport and railway station directly; the International Hotel metro stop (Chilonzor line) is now easier to reach from both terminals.
- The city has banned cars from the entire Amir Temur Square perimeter since June, creating a pedestrian plaza with pop-up food stalls – expect noise until 11 pm during your stay.
- All major bazaars (Chorsu, Mirabad) now require a free online visitor pass for non-Uzbek citizens, bookable via the Tashkent City app to avoid queueing in the heat.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to International Hotel Tashkent, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 7–10 facing the rear courtyard away from Amir Temur Street. These upper floors avoid street-level traffic noise and offer quieter sleep. The hotel's standard 'Deluxe' or 'Executive' rooms on these floors typically have better soundproofing.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–3 facing Amir Temur Street. The dual-lane boulevard carries persistent traffic, especially during morning and evening rush hours. Also avoid rooms directly above the hotel's main entrance (often floors 2–4 front side) due to door and taxi noise.
Best views
Rooms facing south-west overlook the hotel's landscaped garden and pool area, with a distant view of the Tashkent TV Tower on clear days. Front-facing rooms look onto Amir Temur Street and the park opposite, but with traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 7–10 are consistently quieter, being above street-level hum and away from ground-floor public areas. Corner rooms on these floors (which have fewer adjacent neighbours) are the quietest.
🔊 Noise notes
Amir Temur Street is a major six-lane artery with constant buses, taxis, and private cars. Weekend evenings can bring revellers from nearby restaurants. Internal noise sources include the ground-floor lobby bar and restaurant until 23:00, and staff corridors on service floors (typically floor 2).
Insider tips
1. If driving, ask for a parking space near the rear exit – front parking fills quickly and requires a longer walk to reception. 2. Request a room on floor 8 or 9 with a balcony – these are less frequently booked and often available for free upgrades at check-in if you ask nicely and arrive before 14:00.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Uzbekistani Som, UZS

A main course of shashlik with bread at a casual grill place: about 35,000–60,000 Som.
The area around Chorsu Bazaar (a short metro ride away) is the main cheap-eats hub; also smaller kiosks near metro stations sell samsa and non.
Korzinka is the most common budget supermarket chain in Tashkent, with several locations near this area.
For cheap clothes, head to the Abu Sahiy or Chorsu markets; avoid the fancy boutiques on Amir Temur.
The cheapest way around is the metro (1,400 Som per ride). From the airport, take bus #11 or #67 to the city centre for 1,400 Som; avoid taxis at the terminal.
Withdraw large sums at bank ATMs to avoid multiple fees. Eat at lunch-time plov centres for the best value. Use the metro rather than taxis.

🧭 First things nearby: cash · Nearest — 60 m · ~1 min walk — pharmacy · Dori darmon — 239 m · ~3 min walk
🚐 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.
