The Property — Seven Seasons
A Soviet-era building near Tashkent's main railway station, Seven Seasons feels functional rather than fancy: clean, tiled lobby, a modest breakfast buffet with bread, jam and instant coffee, and staff who speak limited English. It suits budget travellers who need a reliable bed for a night or two en route elsewhere, not a staycation.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was a Silk Road trading post before being conquered by the Russians in 1865, then rebuilt as a Soviet showcase after a devastating 1966 earthquake. The wide boulevards, concrete apartment blocks and sprawling parks date from that period, but the old mahalla (neighbourhood) survived around Chorsu Bazaar. Today it's a modern Central Asian capital with a young, savvy population and a prudent, secular outlook.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
April, May and September. Spring brings 20–25°C and blossom in the parks; autumn is dry and warm. Crowds are thin outside school holidays.
Peak / festival surge
July. Temperatures hit 35–40°C, and locals flee to the mountains. Hotel prices stay low because it's off-peak for tourists, but public transport is empty and daytime sightseeing is gruelling. No major festival drives this month.
Budget shoulder season
June and September. June gets hot (30–35°C) but bearable; September drops to 25–30°C. Both have lower rates than May or October and far fewer visitors.
Weather & packing
July in Tashkent is furnace-like: dry heat, no breeze, and a sharp drop to 20°C at night. Pack loose cotton clothes, a sun hat, and a light jacket for the evening – and plan all outdoor activity before 10am or after 6pm.
Live City Briefing — Tashkent
- The Tashkent Metro now has a smartphone payment app (Atto) for single rides, saving the queue at token booths. Download before you arrive.
- Chorsu Bazaar's main covered market was renovated in 2025 – it's brighter and cleaner, but the prices for souvenirs are creeping up.
- Uzbekistan's visa-free regime for most Western nationals continues; no change for 2026, but always check your passport's validity (3 months beyond arrival).
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Seven Seasons, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3-5 facing the inner courtyard, if available. These floors sit above street level for reduced noise but avoid the higher floors near any rooftop equipment.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the entrance or lobby, as they suffer from foot traffic and street noise. Also avoid rooms directly facing the main street if the building is on a busy Tashkent road.
Best views
For a decent view, request a room on the front side (facing the main street) on a higher floor, though this comes with some traffic noise. Rear courtyard views are quieter but overlook an internal space.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 offer the best balance of quiet and accessibility, away from both street-level bustle and potential lift machinery noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Main street traffic is the primary noise source, especially in the morning and evening rush hours. The entrance area and any on-site restaurant or bar add noise for ground-floor rooms. The lift shaft may carry noise through the building, so avoid rooms directly adjacent to it.

Your arrival at Seven Seasons
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 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.
