Hotels

Rovshan Hotel was built in 1999 and has been renovated in 2006; it was one of the first private hotels in Tashkent, located in a small street in the corner between Mirabad and Nukus street. This is a medium size hotel quite close to everything in downtown Tashkent. Cozy location, reasonable prices, good conditions and polite staff attract many tourists and businessmen. Hotel is located in the quiet part of the city centre, close to major business and state buildings, 10 minute drive from Tashkent International Airport, North Railway Station and "Oybek" underground station. A short walk will take you to a set of local cafes and restaurants offering a wide choice of local, Armenian and European cuisine. The Russian Embassy is nearby and could be a good orienting point when instructing the taxi driver where to go. Mirabad Market is also nearby where guests can buy fresh fruits, spices and local style home-made bread. There also a few pubs nearby on Ivliev street where you can enjoy a beer. You are in walking distance (15 min walk) to Ming Orik/Oybek metro station.

Rovshan hotel has 47 cosy rooms; each of them has phone, satellite television, a bathroom and the conditioner.  The rooms themselves are rather small, and the ones on the top floor are best avoided since they are even smaller due to a slanted side with only a very small window in it. Slight problem might be sound-isolation of the doors, with staff or other guests might waking you up early moving around and talking in the corridors outside. Ground floor rooms close to the reception could be noisy, try to avoid them, so your best bet would actually be the first floor.
