The Property — Taxtapul hotel
The Taxtapul Hotel is a solidly functional 3-star in central Tashkent, just south of Amir Temur Square. Step into the lobby and you get tiled floors, a small front desk, and a utilitarian lift — clean, basic, no frills. It suits budget-conscious travellers or stopover guests who want a reliable, no-surprises base close to the metro and main sights. Don't expect character; do expect a working shower and decent WiFi.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was a Silk Road trading city for at least 2,000 years, but an earthquake in 1966 flattened the old town. The Soviet rebuild gave it broad, tree-lined avenues, Brutalist concrete blocks and a grid system, with landmarks like the Hotel Uzbekistan remaining. Post-independence, modernisation has added glass towers and a monumental ‘Tashkent City’ business quarter alongside restored madrasahs in the old Kokcha district. Today the capital balances a Soviet-era civic order with revived Central Asian hospitality, all under the watch of President Mirziyoyev's reforms.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tashkent guide →Best months
September and October: reliably hot but not extreme (mid-30s°C), with low chance of rain. May is also good — spring flowers and manageable heat before the July peak.
Peak / festival surge
July is the hottest and most touristed month for Tashkent, with daytime temperatures often hitting 40°C. Local tourism spikes during the Navruz holiday period (March) and the Sharq Taronalari music festival (August), but July’s peak is driven by summer holidays from the Gulf and Russia. Hotel prices rise 20–30% over average; book early.
Budget shoulder season
April and November offer mild weather (20–25°C) and noticeably smaller crowds. Hotel rates can drop 15–25% from July levels. April brings some rain but good sightseeing weather.
Weather & packing
Tashkent has a hot semi-arid climate with a pronounced dry season from June to September, but July also occasionally gets short, heavy thunderstorms. Pack loose, light-coloured long clothing for sun protection and a light scarf for air-conditioned buildings.
Live City Briefing — Tashkent
- The Tashkent Metro’s new Circle Line (Halqa) opened its final stations in 2024, making it quicker to reach the new Tashkent City business area and the hippodrome.
- In April 2025, a new pedestrianised zone opened along Mustaqillik Square, banning traffic and expanding café seating — directly useful for visitors to the Independence Monument and government buildings.
- Summer 2026 sees continued road repairs on Amir Temur Street near the hotel, so expect occasional local diversions; taxis may take slightly longer routes during peak hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Taxtapul hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard (south side). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise from Taxtapul Darvoza ko'chasi but not so high that lift vibration becomes an issue. The courtyard side is quieter than the street side.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, particularly those near the reception or side entrance — they pick up foot traffic, door slams, and possibly staff chatter. Also avoid rooms at the ends of corridors near service doors or the lift shaft, which can be noisy on all floors.
Best views
The best view is from south-facing upper floor rooms, overlooking the inner gardens or quieter residential streets behind the hotel. Street-side rooms (east) look onto a busy urban road with little interest, just cars and buildings.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors — these are central in a likely 4–5 storey 3-star building, away from street-level bustle and also from any roof-top equipment or terraces that might be above.
🔊 Noise notes
Taxtapul Darvoza ko'chasi is a main thoroughfare in north Tashkent, with regular car and minibus noise from early morning until late evening. There may also be occasional construction in the area, as this part of the city is developing. Inside, expect lift clatter and corridor noise typical of a 3-star hotel — thin walls are likely.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, ask to park in the secure lot at the back rather than on the street — safer and quieter. 2. Check in early afternoon (2–4 PM) when fewer guests arrive, giving you better chance to request a specific floor. 3. Ask for a kettle and extra towels at check-in; these may not be automatic in standard rooms at this tier.
- 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.
