This hotel is clean, quiet and well located overlooking Amir Timur Square. Good breakfast. Wifi available in the lobby and a wedding almost every night ;0)

Conveniently located hotel lacking charm. My room was decently sized and quiet but needed updating eg the carpet had seen better days and the TV didn't work. The buffet breakfast was a scrum which wasn't helped by the Cental Asian inability to queue.

The location of this hotel is perfect... right in the middle of the city overlooking Amir Timur Square, a 5 minute walk to Broadway and with a metro stop right outside its front door. This was a much larger hotel than I had stayed at elsewhere in Uzbekistan, so didn't have the charm that a smaller place would have. It is a very busy hotel, and I was there the night of a wedding, which I could hear 14 floors up (though only for about an hour, as when the party moved into the ballroom, it was much more contained).
There's free wi-fi (which worked the majority of the time) and a working mini fridge. The free breakfast is decent.
Compared to some of the other hotels of this type in the city, I would return again based on the location.

The only 2 good things about this hotel that come to mind are that it's location is bang in the heart of the city, overlooking the SQUARE and the Amir Timur Museum and statue, the second thing being that it has a very large lobby with high speed wifi for browsing the internet. The lobby being large, works well for large corporate or incentive groups who travel in hoards. Oh yes, the 3rd good thing being that they serve good, local dishes eg. the lagman, the shurpa and a very good club sandwich!!
However the overall experience, whether it was the the staff in the hotel, the awful stench of food streaming through each floor, the old school style of opening your room door with a lock and key, the lack of English being spoken, the very bare room, etc. left me with a very bad taste in the mouth, and reminded of how an old hotel would have been during the Communist regime.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone for sure, let alone coming back and staying here. My only piece of advise is to stay at this hotel, if you are on a shoe string budget and desperate!!
