The staff was not really nice, and the hostel did not feel clean. There was no soap or toilet paper in the bathroom for the whole day I was there, pee covering the toilet seat. Not a nice atmosphere .

Incredibly rude, lazy, and incompetent reception staff, especially the teenager running the reception. The teenager receptionist tried to barge into the women's dorm without knocking at night, continuing to push even when I said I was coming to unlock the door. Obviously toxic person. Dirty walls. Gum stuck to floor. Hot and no air conditioning. Lying about taxes, so it's maybe only $1 cheaper than the nearby hostel with AC that is way better. No loaner shoes. No lockers, obvious security risk

Would not recommend because of lack of security and bad location. I walked in on a cleaning lady going through my stuff and smelling my cologne. This felt quite uncomfortable. Also, the dorm entry is right besides the front door which is never locked. People that are not staying at the hostel seem to be walking in and out all the time. Lastly, I did not get a locker for my stuff because half of them in the dorm were broken.

Very ANNOYED at the hostel... The price with Taxes is clearly stated on the online booking and they tried to charge us 20% more saying that they dont ackowledge those online prices. Not only to us but a lot of other customers, staff is not very friendly and we had to wait nearly an hour till they accepted our online prices. Also the hostel is very far from the metro station and other amenities. People in the lobby are very loud at all times

The way the manager runs this place isn’t acceptable. You can’t put discounts and prices on the website then charge more ( full price) when you get there. Everyone I talked to at the place said the same happened to them but they didn’t take the fight. It took me about 20 min of arguing to get the price I had booked it for and what it said in my mail. The workers say they have the same problem all of the time and that they weren’t allowed by the manager to charge what it says in the websi...

Undeniably good value, a little way out from the centre but then Tashkent is a big city. It's a budget hostel and delivers to that standard, would stay again if I needed to save the money.

The hostel is far off everything interesting except a little bar nearby. The hostel itself could be a nice place but actually is quite worn down and not the cleanest. The showers do not work properly, the blankets provided are rather filthy. It's not a place I would recommend to anyone.

The beds are good. I stayed here a couple times always one old guy that makes a lot of sounds and plays music till 1am and after snores so loud he wakes me up. The reception at night is good the young guys are kind the rest don’t really give a f***. And the cleaning ladies are very aggressive. Met some nice people here to so for the price I would say 5/10.

I liked my stay here! Helpful staff who speak English well. Common room, kitchen and free breakfast every morning cooked by local women is cute. The bathrooms are very basic but overall, based on other hostels in Uzbekistan, this one is very nice. There are no hostels in the city centre but this one is 15 minutes drive and so cheap to travel. Nice market up the road and a tavern with nice staff. Thank you Topchan

Bathrooms were absolutely filthy when we were there. Location isn’t great. Showers were atrocious, no shower head on either shower nor anywhere to put them on the wall so you just have to hose yourself down.

Honestly pretty poor, the hostel is filthy. Would have preferred to leave my shoes on rather than taking them off at the door. The soles of your feet quickly turn black. The bathrooms are equally dismal. The kitchen was a greasy mess, the hostel is full of individuals living there for extended periods of time, taking up the entirety of the small kitchen. Cooking elaborate meals and curries for hours at a time made us feel quite unwelcome. Three of us found all our food and groceries missing.

In a ou y rencontrer plein de gens sympa, les douches sont nickel mais pas d’eau chaude pour notre part. Cela était mieux vu la période finalement. Le wifi ne fonctionnait pas si bien. Le petit déjeuner était varié et consistant! Le personnel adorable, les lits en chambre mixte confortables. On nous a même appelé un taxi lorsque l’on rencontrait des difficultés. Bref, au top pour des jeunes sociables!

Some staff helpful. Very far away from local amenities (closest station 35 min walk). Using kitchen was very difficult as staff always in there cooking and only 4 whole for whole hostel. Favourite pasty was cold filtered water (lol). Cheap but wouldn’t really recommend.

Nice, clean hostel (cleaner works v hard), but it lacks atmosphere. It's not an way place to meet fellow solo travellers. There seems to be lots of groups staying, so it can be a bit difficult to strike up conversation. Good number of clean toilets and showers, with good water pressure. Rooms are clean but a bit cramped. Barely saw the staff and got overcharged despite showing them I'd already paid a deposit. A fair distance from the City but Yandex is cheap and public transport is availab...
