Art Deluxe

Very clean, location is good, services very good…second day price double

Bel hôtel bien situé Les chambres sont spacieuses et très propres Par contre demandez une chambre à l'étage Le rez de chaussée est très bruyant avec les groupes qui parlent très fort même en pleine nuit et avec impossible de dormir La réception ne demande pas à faire le silence et accepte ce bruit incessant

We loved the proximity of this hotel to the airport and to restaurants within walking distance.....the artwork was a bonus! We were kindly upgraded to a larger room, even though we were passing through for an early morning flight which meant departing the hotel @ 1am, so we were only using the hotel for part of our nightly rate, appreciated the breakfast box for the airport :) The bed was very comfortable, shame we didn't have the time to sleep longer in it and the shower excellent. We requested our registration documents as required by Uzbek authorities.....but unfortunately didn't receive them in the drama to get to the airport in the middle of the night! Could have been a disaster, as authorities checked our pile of docs and luckily we had already stayed in Tashkent but in another hotel, who provided our documentation. The really disappointing experience was with the front desk staff, who I'm guessing are carrying out a side business of their own....be warned, it goes like this.... they will see your luggage and say "you need to write a note when ordering your Yandex to the airport notifying the driver of the amount of luggage you have". Little did we know that this then means that we couldn't order Yandex on our phone that we had used successfully 10 or more times throughout Uzbekistan....so the staff member volunteers to order on their phone on your behalf.....and guess what.....a driver appeared out of nowhere instantly and the price originally quoted when we placed our order with Yandex soared from 28000som to 50000som!!! Even more interesting is that our Yandex fare to the airport a week earlier from our lovely ATECA Suites Hotel in Tashkent only charged us 28000som with the same amount of luggage, and kindly helped us with our luggage too…..make your own assumptions from that! Not a pleasant way to end our wonderful time in Uzbekistan....not the money, so much as the principle of what happened. Also be careful exchanging your soms for other currencies @ the front desk.....can't prove it, as the transaction was done in a hurry as we ran out the door....BUT just check the exchange rate on the day and check the US dollars you are given in return!
