Тоshkent, Uzbekistan

Rooms are spacious, modern and comfortable. The pool, sauna and spa facilities are excellent with attentive staff. Breakfast impresses, though skip expecting turndown service or a mini-bar in your room.

Rooms are clean and decently maintained with good city views, but the hotel falls apart everywhere else. Front desk staff are rude and unhelpful, elevators barely work, food causes illness, and basic requests like water get denied. Skip it unless the price is unbeatable.
