The Property — ORIENT PALACE TASHKENT
The Oriental Palace Tashkent is a Soviet-era three-star with an earnest attempt at Central Asian decor—think patterned carpets, heavy wooden furniture, and a small fountain in the lobby. It’s clean and functional, not charming, and suits budget travellers, groups, or anyone needing a reliable base near the railway station. Standing at reception, you’ll likely hear Russian and Uzbek spoken, see a few tour guides herding groups, and feel the faint hum of the city outside. It’s no boutique hotel, but it delivers a no‑frills introduction to Tashkent’s everyday rhythm.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was a Silk Road oasis city for centuries, then was levelled by a devastating earthquake in 1966. The Soviets rebuilt it in a grand, grid‑like style with wide avenues, marble public buildings, and a vast metro system—each station a distinct work of art. After independence in 1991, the city added gleaming new mosques, a modern business district, and ambitious parks, creating a mix of brutalist concrete and Islamic ornament. Today it’s the capital of Uzbekistan, a city of 2.5 million where Soviet order meets a quietly resurgent Uzbek identity, and where visitors find polite, reserved locals and a surprisingly leafy streetscape.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
April and May, when the city’s many parks and boulevards are in bloom, temperatures are pleasantly warm (20–30°C), and crowds are moderate. September is also excellent, with dry, manageable heat and fewer tourists than peak summer.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak tourist months due to European summer holidays and Central Asia’s dry heat. Hotel prices rise 20–40% above shoulder season. The main driver is the Tashkent Summer Festival (late July) and general Silk Road overland travel. Expect daytime highs above 38°C; avoid walking outside from 11am to 4pm.
Budget shoulder season
October and March are the true shoulder months. Daytime temperatures range 10–22°C (March) and 15–25°C (October). Crowds are thin, hotel rooms are 30–50% cheaper than July, and you can explore without sweating or jostling.
Weather & packing
Tashkent’s continental climate means scorching summers (45°C possible in July) and cold, snowy winters, but with very low humidity. Pack light, breathable fabrics (linen, cotton) and a wide‑brimmed hat for sun protection; you will also need a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated in dry heat.
Live City Briefing — Tashkent
- The Tashkent metro has extended Line 1 east to the new ‘Yangi Hayot’ station, making the city centre easier to reach from this hotel’s area near the railway station.
- A new pedestrian zone on Amir Timur Square, completed in early 2026, has opened with cafés and seating; it’s a 15‑minute walk from the hotel.
- Summer 2026 sees expanded bus routes along Sharaf Rashidov Avenue, bypassing the hotel’s immediate street—check current schedules at the nearby ‘Tashkent Pass’ terminal for the fastest link to the airport.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to ORIENT PALACE TASHKENT, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 facing the inner courtyard rather than the street. These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level noise but low enough for quick stair access during peak hours, and the courtyard side is generally quieter.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (street-level noise from Imom-at-Termiziy street and lobby activity) and floor 2 (directly above the reception/breakfast area, which can get busy from morning). Also avoid rooms at the front of the building (facing the street) due to traffic noise.
Best views
The best view from this 3-star on a main street is likely the city skyline from a high floor (3 or 4) facing the street — you'll see local architecture and street life. Courtyard views are quieter but offer little more than the back of neighbouring buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they are above the main foot traffic and lobby but below the roof (which may have equipment noise). The street side is less quiet even here, so ask for courtyard-facing.
🔊 Noise notes
Imom-at-Termiziy ko'chasi is a through road in Tashkent, so expect traffic noise during daytime (taxis, buses, motorbikes) and occasional late-night activity. The lobby can get busy with groups checking in/out, and breakfast clatter may travel up from the ground floor. No lift noise likely unless you're next to the shaft.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a room on the courtyard side if you value quiet over view — this makes a real difference for a 3-star on a main road. 2) Check if the hotel has a back entrance or side stairwell for quicker access to your floor without passing through the busy lobby.
- 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.
