This was one of the cleanest and best run hotels I have ever stayed in. A+ from beginning to end. My work makes me a professional traveler, so having suffered through a lot of hotels etc. generally I am pretty critical. An A+ for me is top of the line. Cleanliness is next to godliness where a hotel room is concerned. Could not find one fault here. Suite was immaculate and cool and fresh smelling. Everything neat and in its place. Whole room looked brand spanking new. And the STAFF! I wasn't expecting a whole lot coming to Uzbekistan. So, I was totally amazed by the kindliness, sweetness, gentleness of the people. I put my dirty clothes (two days of travel and one night of sleeping in them because the airlines lost my bags) in a plastic bag, called the front desk and asked for them to be picked up for washing and returned next day. They never said a word, picked the bag up, washed the lot and returned them to me. When I asked for the bill, there was none. The cleaning lady had just washed them for me herself. The breakfast was delicious, interesting and nicely served. Very friendly mother daughter team (I think) taking care of it all and making sure you had enough of whatever you wanted. The MANAGER even drove me to my next stop at a hotel 10k away from the city because I didn't wnat to go with an unknown taxi driver who might not speak English. Just loved my experiences here! Thank you Diladora and Dilshod and others whose names I forget. Blessings on you all!

Great value and confort

Great value, very confortable hotel. The room is big, with very confortable bed and matress. It has a big bathrom and good shower. the breakfast is very good too, and the staff vvery nice and attentive. There are some odd choices for such a new and nice building: it appears that there is not an elevator (not a problem for us even if we stayed in the 3rd floor, but may be a problem to someone with mobility difficulties). Also the blackout curtains do not cover the whole windows wide, so there is always light in the early morning. The location is on the eurpean/Russian part of the town, wich means very nice sidewalks and good restaurants, but also thar you have to walk a little more to the attractions, or maybe use a taxi. We did not regret chosing this area. Over all, we had a very confortable experience and would stay here again
