Gloria Hotel

Gloria Hotel is a budget hotel at 27/12 Saperny Square in the Mirobod District of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, near the main railway station. The location is the main selling point: travellers catching early Afrosiyob high-speed trains to Samarkand, Bukhara or Khiva can reach the station quickly, which removes the stress of a long transfer at dawn. The Mirobod area is a mix of residential blocks, government offices and small shops, and the central squares are a short taxi ride away.

The hotel offers Single Rooms and Double Rooms with air conditioning and wifi. Typical rates for the category run from about 250,000 to 500,000 UZS (roughly $20-40) per night, making it one of the more economical private-room options in the city. Exact prices vary by season and dates, so live rates should be checked. The hotel has its own website at gloriahotel.uz.

The style is simple and functional rather than luxurious. There is no confirmed information on a spa, pool, gym or signature restaurant, so guests who want a meal can find cafes, bakeries and local eateries in the surrounding streets, and larger restaurants are available in the central districts. Samsa from street bakeries, fresh non bread and tea are inexpensive options for breakfast on the way to the station.

Service is geared to independent travellers, backpackers who prefer a private room, and short-stay visitors passing through Tashkent on a Silk Road route. Staff are accustomed to foreign guests, though English may be limited, so having the address and booking details written down is useful. Those who want to be within walking distance of Amir Timur Square and Broadway may prefer a hotel in the city centre, but for transport convenience and low cost, the station area is a practical choice.
