Ada Hotel

Luxury hotel for a three star price, with personal service (they knew my name without seeing my passport). My room was like a miniature Sultan's palace, so was the royal style tableware and with complimentary appetizing breakfast.

We stayed here for a night because we had an early flight out of Tashkent. The hotel is very new, modern and clean and the staff are very helpful and speak good English. It has a restaurant but we didn’t use it so can’t comment on the food. Our room was a decent size, beds were comfy. Only thing wrong with the room was the shower head in the bathroom which was blocked and needed sorting, apart from that everything was fine. The hotel is located on the ring road on the south side of Tashkent airport, about 2 miles from the domestic terminal, so it is convenient if flying into/out of there, but it should be noted that there does not appear to be a shuttle between the domestic and international terminals, you have to take a taxi. The international terminal is not particularly close to the hotel, it’s about 6 miles away and depending on traffic conditions can take 25 minutes or so. The hotel advertises an airport shuttle, but this is not complimentary, it costs $20. However, they will call you a taxi, which to the international terminal should cost about $5. The road outside the hotel is very busy and there isn’t much around the hotel, there is a shop a short walk away on the other side of the road to the right, (be sure to cross at the crossing point just outside the hotel, there’s nowhere to cross further down and the pavement is full of deep holes!). This hotel is fine for one night before an early flight and gets an extra point for the friendliness of the staff.

It's a shame we were only there for one night as we had an early morning flight to Khiva as it's a wonderful place. The taxi from the airport was arranged via the hotel and the boys who drove us were great to chat to and very friendly and helpful. The room itself was beautiful and although we were only there a short time it was one of the most comfortable rooms in our entire Uzbek stay! highly recommended.

Economical, clean and convenient.
