HOTEL MANOR — Hotel in Tashkent

The fact that this hotel is right next to a very active building site should NOT put off potential guests, and it's an unusual hotel review that opens with that line. The Manor Hotel is flanked by a building site where work goes on beyond midnight. The sound of work is audible from outside the hotel but, from my room which overlooked the men (and they were all men) at work, I didn't hear anything from inside the hotel. Any traveller considering this hotel should be aware of the work going on outside, but I'm a light sleeper and it didn't effect me at all.||||Manor Hotel is a very conveniently situated hotel, being only 20 minutes by taxi from the airport and a ten-minute stroll to the main railway station for connections to Samarqand and Bukhara. It is also on the rather lovely Shevchenko boulevard which is wide, tree-lined, and full of restaurants, cafés, and bars. From the front door of the hotel, you can see down Shevchenko to the station so you can work out how long you will need to take to walk there.||||The hotel has been refurbished recently and it is done to a relatively high spec. The rooms and shared areas are very clean, freshly painted, and well lit. This looks like a new-ish hotel. The lobby is a few steps from the front door and our arrival processing was swift and easy. The corridors are wide. There is WiFi available throughout the hotel. ||||My room was large and had an en-suite with a very good shower (although water leaked under the partition between the shower and the toilet, leaving a large puddle on the floor. There is not anything you would want for more in the bathroom.||||There is ample space in the bedroom, although no tea/coffee-making facilities. The window is quite small and in the corner of the room, with a view directly onto the building site so you wouldn't choose to spend time gazing out of the window onto the Tashkent skyline. It was noticeable how high off the floor the bed is - it is comfy and the air conditioning worked fine, but it was striking that on the bed, I felt a long way off the ground.||||Breakfast is served in a large and rather grand room. If there were a shortcoming to the hotel, it was the breakfast. To be fair, we arrived at the very moment that service began, and the one waiter was rushed off his feet. The selection of food was strange - from warm pizza through dozens of cakes, biscuits, sweets, and pastries, this breadth of offering lacked simple things such as toast or butter. Even if toast isn't a Central Asian delicacy, if you put pizza and chocolate gateau on the breakfast menu, you can serve toast. Hot drinks took a while to reach us.||||That said, this was a very reasonably priced, centrally located, clean and comfy hotel whose neighbours did not disturb my sleep at all. I would definitely stay here again if visiting Tashkent - that's the...

Worst hotel I stayed at in a long time; and as a frequent traveller in this region I dare say I know what I am comparing to; both in terms of facilities as well as service, which seriously lacked in this hotel.

Check-in; noisy lobby with little organization. You only get one key card at first; which means - given the electra needs the specific key card - you need to pick up a second one once you realise you wanna do seperate things. I wish this minor detail was the only point - for which I would never leave a negative review.

Pool and sauna come at an extra cost; although their marketing is hugely misleading on this point. Look into other hotels such as Oscar Boutique; Radisson Blu; which for same bucks will get you these nice perks for free. It is 300000 per person; so def not worth its pricepoint.

The hotel restaurant / bar was empty, their drinks were not refrigerated; and there is no minibar in the room - say hello to warm coca cola or fanta - yay.

Time for bed; which is comfy. Just to realise the construction site next door runs 24/7. It is now 11.00 pm; all I can think of with this endless construction noise is to write this review. I went down to the receptions and asked for another room; or partial refund as they never warned us of this situation. It is like a massive construction site so no excuses - nothing new. Night receptionist most useless person ever to sit at reception. No help offered; instead he started talking with a colleague and ignored our complain. Nothing offered.

Worst place; dont stay here for as long as you see a construction site on google maps next the hotel. You will regret and the hotel staff wont care. Stay here if you wanna be ignored at reception; the only thing they did well during out stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Manor Hotel, which is conveniently located near the Central Railway Station. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. The hotel provided a good breakfast selection, featuring local specialties. The self-service coffee machine in the restaurant would be a great addition, helping to reduce waiting times and ease the morning rush on the staff.Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Although there was a construction site next door, it didn’t cause any disturbance throughout the day. One small drawback was that the beds were quite high, which could be challenging for children or shorter guests to climb onto. It would be helpful if the hotel offered a small step stool in such cases.We arrived early, around 6 a.m., and appreciated the option for an early check-in at half the usual room rate, which made our arrival much easier.Overall, it was a very positive experience, and we would happily stay at Manor...
