Parliament Palace Hotel

All was quiet and relaxing until 9pm when the disco started on floor 1. The manager said he would call to ask that they turn it down. They would not. I went back downstairs and spoke to manager directly. I actually felt sorry for him as he’s been here 5 yrs and appears at the mercy of those banshees - but he had no answer as to why he put us in this room earlier KNOWING what would happen between 9pm and midnight. The screaming and music travels up every floor through the stairway. At 10pm, after we were settled for the night, the manager suggested we move one floor higher. I went upstairs but the moment I exited the elevator the screaming and music traveled right up that stairway as well. Advice: pick a different hotel. I will be sure to advise my tour company, Step Journeys of the same.

We had a large room on the second floor overlooking the river & terrace area. We were warned of the live music that was on in the restaurant & terrace each night but it was really loud. Also, any noise in the corridor was easily heard, so much so we had two nights with broken sleep. Facilities in the room were good & internet was fast. Breakfast however needs improvement. The first day we got shown a card of 4 options, non of which appealed, whist the next table had a full platter of fruit and off menu items (they were not locals). Eventually with the help of the guy on front desk we got some fruit. Second day was a buffet which was better. Biggest thing they should fix is the noise.

Very clean, comfortable hotel, a delightful visit. Particular mention to the chap on the front desk, Farhodjon, who was exemplary is assisting us explore the town. A true professional and ambassador for the hotel. My room was on the top floor overlooking the road and although it was a Friday night we had no issues with noise.

Our experience with this hotel was mixed. The first room had a big cockroach, so we asked the staff to sort out the situation. They did, but when we went back, we saw another cockroach in the corridor, heading for our room. We complained again and the staff was really friendly and understanding, so they upgraded our room. This room was large and comfortable and we did not have any issues. Breakfast was just OK and it should be improved.

Soviet style hotel that has seen better days. Looks rundown & unloved. There is a pool that was not in use, half full of stale water. Decor is rather ugly. There is a terrace outside overlooking the uninspiring river where meals can be served. The indoor dining room is a part time disco. My room however was quite large with high ceilings & a comfortable bed. There is a big reasonably modern bathroom with a huge walk-in shower. But not much water & periodic hot water. The central aircon mainly blows out hot air. There is a substitute addition aircon unit which actually does work but there are no instructions in English on how to use it or the TV. Needed to ask for help from the front desk which was forthcoming. There are hundreds of TV channels if you can work out the system. Again no instructions. There is wifi which works well enough for emails. Breakfast which was included was pretty average with little choice and even less service.

The hotel was nice and adequate right on the river. The hotel staff were very polite and friendly. We had dinner in the restaurant overlooking the river and it was quite nice. The electrical outlets were difficult to manage due to locations and the connections with our equipment. Overall, it was a nice stay.
