The best hotels Central Asia

Hotel Zarina is conspicuous by its situation, half way between the Gour Emir and the Registan. The rooms are arranged around a courtyard with a small swimming pool. View on the adjacent mausoleum and dinner under a large iwan closed one side of the courtyard. This one, like the dining room, is decorated with numerous antiques (radio or television stations in particular) for which Abduvakhid is passionate, owner of the hotel and also director of the Esprit du Temps agency with which you can schedule your trip in Uzbekistan as well as throughout Central Asia. In Tajikistan, Abduvakhid organizes in particular interesting treks with nights in the inhabitant.

The last one of the hotels in the Chaîne chain, with always the same standard and the same types of rooms, comfortable, soberly decorated and equipped with beautiful bathrooms. The location is impeccable, just a hundred meters from the Gour Emir on which rooms 15, 16, 22 and 23 have a nice view. For others, look for the panorama on the roof terrace under the pleasant shade of the iwan.

Close to Babur Park, opposite the bazaar, on the fifth floor of a private hospital. Enter the waiting room and take the elevator. The premises of the old hotel Orzu have been properly restored, and the rooms without embellishment have the merit of being clean and having a bathroom practicable. Television in all rooms. There is no other accommodation solution in the city centre since the Destruction Hotel was destroyed. A new 3-star hotel has nevertheless opened its doors close to the airport, but the location is little comfortable for a visit to the city.

Do not hesitate to negotiate because it is clearly expensive for the quality of comfort offered and the hotel does not have a formal license to host tourists. Rooms are spartan, bathrooms are often unusable and electricity is not guaranteed in all rooms. The reception is, however, jovial, and the hotel manager even speaks a few words in English. Excellent location in the heart of the city.

They all have a small bathroom, not comfortable but functional. The hotel, built in 1963, has an astonishing interior architecture, with marble staircase, lustre and mural frescos, which do not announce the comfort of the rooms. These are of great simplicity, equipped with TV and air conditioning. The building is central, facing the theatre and close to the bazaar.

Only possible recourse for those who would make Denau a step before entering Tajikistan to Dushanbe. Ask Room 25, the only one equipped with "washroom" and "bathroom", and even a television, for $ 2,5. The other rooms are $ 1,5, without all this comfort.

The great luxury, with marble, glass and large bright rooms. But at the time of the investigation, still not Internet access or international telephone, hot water outages and a restaurant offering the minimum card… In short, don't wait to sleep in a western Le Meridien in the western sense of this chain of hotels. The city centre is less than 1,5 km away.

The most recent hotel in Termez. Very good location, between town hall and cathedral, near the modern centre. The rooms are very spacious, equipped with régrigérateur, air conditioning and TV. The "Deluxe" fare is an additional room serving as a living room. On the other hand, the pink bathroom with an angle bathtub and the ever-growing soufflé glass chandelier imitating laurel leaves are a constant.

A little away from the modern centre, but the most economical solution in Termez. Rooms are divided into «deluxe» and «deluxe» categories. " Deluxe "is just a good standard," luxury "is simply equipped with a living room in addition to the room. In every case, the bathrooms would be worth a new twist. But with air conditioning, the whole remains correct and well located downstream of the bazaar. The hotel has a restaurant.

The luxury rooms, decorated in European style, are very spacious. Standard rooms provide minimum value for money, after negotiation. In the courtyard you can enjoy a large swimming pool and a bar-restaurant. Air conditioning and TV (cable) in all rooms. The hotel organises excursions throughout the valley with guides and interpreters. You can also arrange horseback trekking or horse tours provided you book in advance. The hotel is a little eccentric, 3 km from the bazaar, but remains the best choice for a prolonged stay in the Ferghana valley.

The 25 rooms at Hotel Asia were a little old. So the Marco Polo group to which the hotel belongs has built 32 new, superior categories, all the old ones taking the "standard" status. It's nine and neat. The price is 30 € for single and double rooms of the old part, 35 and € 50 for the new part. The rate includes breakfast and access to the hotel's swimming pools, outside or in the inside. The restaurant offers a range of traditional and European dishes. The reception is always very pleasant, and Asia Ferghana remains one of the best addresses of this small chain.
