Best Fergana Spa Hotels

Hotel Asia is on a busy road and spread over several buildings that share a nice garden. My room was upstairs and there is no elevator. The room was split-level, with a large seating area and bathroom down and the bedroom upstairs. The decor, like the whole hotel is very dark and dated, like Europe 50 years ago. My bed was very hard, but all linen and towels are crisp and clean. The breakfast room is hidden in the back of the garden and here the interior is kitsch with painted ceiling, crystal chandeliers, velvet chairs, mirror walls and gold plated Roman columns . . . the breakfast buffet is really poor with instant coffee and bad service. This is also where the bar is, but the choice of drinks is very limited. Overall Hotel Asia has a lot of potential, but is in desperate need of renovation under the supervision of an interior decorator.

Hotel is new and my room was pretty comfy. However, I was kinda shocked by the price for a double Americano coffee -- they simply counted it as two separate coffee portions/shots. So I ended up paying UZS50,000 (roughly $5) -- even fancy coffee shops and restaurants in Tashkent don't charge you this much for a double Americano, max UZS25,000 (a bit more than $2). Not that I won't go back but definitely disappointed just a little 😉 Also, location is not the best. The hotel is located in the area of an ongoing construction -- dust makes it to your room if you keep windows open.
