The Property — Mehmonhona
Mehmonhona is a Soviet-era three-star hotel near Tashkent’s main railway station. The lobby is functional, with marble floors, a 24-hour front desk, and a small café serving Uzbek tea and plov. It suits budget-conscious travellers who value a central location for onward train journeys over charm or design.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was founded over 2,200 years ago on the Silk Road near the Chirchik River. After the devastating 1966 earthquake, the city was rebuilt in a Soviet modernist style, with wide boulevards and concrete apartment blocks. Today, it blends Soviet-era architecture with new glass towers, independent coffee shops, and a revived chai-khana culture around Amir Timur Square.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
April–May and September–October for mild temperatures (20–28°C) and clear skies, ideal for walking and sightseeing.
Peak / festival surge
July–August are the hottest months, with temperatures often above 35°C. This is also the summer holiday period for locals, but few major festivals. Hotel prices edge up 15–20% due to domestic tourism and transit passengers.
Budget shoulder season
March and November offer cooler weather (10–20°C) and fewer visitors. Rates can drop by 30% or more, and you’ll have popular sites like Khast Imam to yourself.
Weather & packing
Tashkent has a continental climate with dry heat in summer and cold winters. Pack light linen or cotton clothes, a wide-brimmed hat, and reusable water bottle; evenings can cool off, so bring a light jacket.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Mehmonhona, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing away from Yangi Kuylyuk Street. These mid-floors avoid street-level noise and lift traffic while still having a window that opens for air. The south side of the building gets afternoon sun but is quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the 1st floor are near the lobby and reception — you'll hear everyone coming and going, plus staff doors and service areas. Rooms directly above the main entrance also pick up street noise from taxis dropping off guests at all hours.
Best views
No real view here — the address is a residential street on the outskirts. Ask for a room facing the courtyard or the back garden (if there is one) for a quiet outlook, not the street with passing cars.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. Away from the street and the ground-floor commotion. The building has a lift, so these floors are still easy to reach without lift noise being constant.
🔊 Noise notes
Yangi Kuylyuk Street is a two-lane road with local traffic, occasional trucks, and taxis honking for guests. The lift shaft is central and can rattle in older buildings. No bar or disco on site, so noise is mostly street and lobby.
Insider tips
1) Book a room on the 4th floor and request a 'quiet side' room during check-in — most guests don't specify, so they'll give you the quieter courtyard-facing room if it's free. 2) Park on the street (free but watch for locals blocking), and bring earplugs just in case — the walls are thin.
- 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

🧭 First things nearby: cash · Nearest — 319 m · ~4 min walk — pharmacy · Dori Darmon — 98 m · ~1 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.
