“A modern and spacious apartment, with an excellent breakfast buffet.”

My wife and I stayed here in mid-September, 2024. These are spacious, modern, clean apartments. The building is in a newer development call Tashkent City which is a mix of apartments, office buildings, shops, and a large park. There are guarded, gate entrances to the district and it is also a very safe area. The Metro is a 5-minute walk and Yandex taxis are very cheap. There is a multi-story mall with a large supermarket across the park, about a 5-10 minute walk away. These apartments are on the backside of the same building the Holiday Inn is in. Just take a taxi to the Holiday Inn and it's a 3-minute walk to the Apartment Hotel entrance. In the entrance lobby there is a 24/7 reception and a local bank ATM. All reception staff speak English, and most cleaning staff speak English too. The apartment had a washer but no dryer, just a drying rack (which is common outside of North America). Otherwise, their dry cleaning is expensive. 60,000 UZS (or 4.70 USD) for 1 pair of pants, so we never used it. The kitchen has two sets of dishes. Breakfast is included and is in the rooftop restaurant at the adjacent Holiday Inn. It would cost 17.25 USD per person otherwise. The breakfast buffet is fantastic with lots of choices. You simply walk through a long, interior hallway to get to that side of the building. In our room the bed was comfortable, and the shower was strong. There are lots of electrical outlets in the apartment. There are three comfortable dining chairs with a table. I had booked 5 nights on-line and chose to pay upon arrival. Unfortunately, the hotel does NOT accept U.S. credit cards (only European, Asian, and Russian ones). This is probably because American visitors are very rare in Tashkent. Ensure you pay on-line BEFORE arriving to avoid having to use the ATM to pay for your stay at the end, and, verify you are fully paid up BEFORE you go to your room. We were heading out early for a flight when I discovered my U.S. credit card did not work. Luckily, they accepted U.S. cash. We still highly recommend this apartment hotel, and would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Tashkent.

Sumptous breakfast buffet from Holiday Inn hotel. Location is good. Lots ofod resto around. Request to change our room as there was no bidet as per picture advertised. WiFi was weak, aircon less cooling room 726. Transfer was granted the next day but the room was smaller Room725. Requested several times about their itinerary list tour but no reply. The bellboy suddenly disappeared at the reception so we have to pull our luggage’s and carry it on the stairs till to the front area of Holiday Inn as our airport transfer was there already as per time booked.

Istaravshan apartment hotel Conveniently located near the metro is a useful location for mobility across Tashkent & for sightseeing A well appointed room has a large bed, table & 4 chairs, wardrobe & a kitchenette. An excellent breakfast was provided in the Holiday Inn next door. Access to breakfast is a circuitous around a service corridor with no lift access to the Holiday Inn, this needs addressing & is unhelpful for people with mobility issues who are forced to use a staircase. The breakfast the Holiday Inn was fabulous, something for everyone. They even gave us a packed breakfast as we departed in the early hours on our last day. Housekeeping came in daily with fresh towels everyday although the towels were past their best and not the best quality. It is worth asking the hotel to arrange a transfer for you on arrival but it will be expensive. Local taxis are more fairly priced. Be aware that the hotel is noisy, the aircon unit can be noisy but they have some sort of air infiltration system of the roof & as the apartments are on floor 7 at times there is heavy noisy banging which is disturbing. The reception staff are variable in their friendliness and professionalism which means that you avoid talking to them. Davour (Dave) is by far the best. A typical response from one of the other men to the noises was, ‘this is a city there are noises!’ You do not get the impression that they are very interested in your comfort. Payment with cards is not always possible so be prepared to take dollars and pay in cash.
