Grand Orzu Hotel

Grand Orzu Hotel is a mid-range hotel on Makhmud Tarabi Street in the Yakkasaroy District of Tashkent, the street known for the Caravan restaurant. It lies a short taxi ride from Independence Square and the centre of the Uzbek capital, in a district of shaded residential streets, embassies and restaurants. The area is calmer than the central avenues and offers a good selection of places to eat.

The hotel is a modest city property aimed at travellers who want comfort at a moderate price. Rooms are offered as Single Rooms, Double Rooms and Twin Rooms. Listings suggest typical prices of 500,000 to 1,100,000 UZS per night (about $40 to $90), though live rates for exact dates should be checked. Amenities include wifi, air conditioning and breakfast, and the listed contact number is +998 71 120 88 77. The official website is orzu-hotels.com.

Breakfast is the main on-site meal, and the street location is the real advantage for dining. Makhmud Tarabi Street has a number of restaurants serving Uzbek cuisine such as plov, shashlik, lagman and manti, as well as other regional dishes, so visitors can eat well within a short walk. Teahouse-style venues offer a relaxed evening meal.

The service character is practical and friendly, suited to independent travellers, couples and small groups. Staff can help arrange taxis, and ride-hailing apps are inexpensive. The hotel does not offer the extensive facilities of a five-star property, so visitors seeking a spa or pool should look elsewhere.

Because the hotel is not within walking distance of the main historic sights, visitors should plan transport. A taxi to Amir Timur Square or the Old City takes around ten to twenty minutes depending on traffic. The area suits travellers who prefer a quieter district with good restaurants over a busy central address. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for sightseeing, and booking ahead is advisable during holiday periods. Checking recent reviews helps confirm current room standards.
