Wost place I ever stayed in! I booked it just because it was my last night and my flight was at 6AM! The location is far away from metro you need to wait for a bus for at least half an hour or take a taxi. The hostel seemed creepy from the first impression! The reception staff was rude, the people were creepy and somehow most of them from india, bathrooms were dirty, the room smelled terrible, the bed was uncomfortable and sheets wasn’t clean! People were up late cooking and making noise

1. The staff member at check-in seemed quite tired, though they did answer my questions. A warmer welcome would have made the experience more pleasant. 2. Reception was not always staffed, and I noticed several guests looking for help but leaving without assistance. 3. There were no personal lockers in the 10-person shared room, which would be helpful for security and peace of mind. Towels are not provided, so guests should bring their own.

Paid about $21USD for a private dorm after a long travel day. The dorm had no windows, was very hot and had black mold in the roof and aircon. If it wasn’t 11pm I would have left. I had to sleep with a jumper over my face to avoid breathing in the mold, but next time I would bring a hazmat suit. The showers were also filthy. Wasn’t the best first impression of Uzbekistan, everywhere else I went was clean and nice!
