The Property — Vip security
Vip Security is a functional, no-frills 3-star in the Yunusabad district, favoured by budget-conscious business travellers and transit guests. The lobby is modest, clean and efficient: reception staff are polite, and the main draw is a secure parking courtyard. It suits anyone needing a clean bed, strong WiFi and a straightforward base near Tashkent's central avenues, not a holiday resort.
Chronicles of Tashkent
Tashkent was an oasis settlement on the ancient Silk Road, destroyed by Genghis Khan in 1219 and later rebuilt as a Russian imperial garrison town in 1865. A catastrophic earthquake in 1966 levelled most of the old city, leading to a Soviet-era rebuild of wide boulevards, brutalist concrete blocks and vast green spaces. Independence has added gleaming new towers, metro art and a revived Old City around Chorsu Bazaar, but its architectural identity remains a blend of Soviet utility and 21st-century ambition.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Vip security, 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 (away from 229a Tashkent road). These floors are above the street-level noise but low enough for quick stair access if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor—they are closest to the main road (229a is on a busy avenue in Tashkent) and suffer from traffic hum and foot traffic. Also skip rooms directly next to the lift shaft—audible dings and mechanical hum from the 3-star elevator.
Best views
Rooms at the back (south-west side) have a decent view of residential gardens and low-rise buildings. Front-facing rooms look onto the main Tashkent road—busy, but you can catch the city pulse. No landmark views—this is a functional 3-star on a major artery.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest: high enough to mute street noise, low enough to avoid roof-level HVAC hum. The building has 5 floors based on typical Soviet-era Tashkent hotel blocks.
🔊 Noise notes
229a Tashkent is on a multi-lane road with heavy traffic, including buses and taxis honking, especially 7-10am and 5-8pm. The hotel likely has single-glazed windows (common for hotels in this star class in Uzbekistan). Weekday mornings are louder. Occasional wedding parties in the event space (if any) add bass thump on weekends.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a courtyard-facing room at check-in—it’s not guaranteed but they’ll accommodate if available. 2. The lift is slow and small (fits 2 people with luggage); use the stairs if you’re on floors 2-3. 3. Parking is on the street outside—request a spot behind the security barrier (the hotel name implies a security function, likely a guarded lot).
- 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

Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Tashkent, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at Vip security
🕒 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.
