Taj Mahal Hotel

Top choice in Fergana Valley


This modern hotel has no link to India – the owners told us they simply liked the name – but it's nevertheless the best choice in town, with a very central location, sparkling rooms, friendly staff and an epic basement club-style restaurant. There are only six single rooms so book these in advance or you'll have to pay for a double.
