Uzbekistan ATMs and Mastercard
I have been made aware that very few ATMs in Tashkent accept Mastercard and those that do often run out of cash. I will be needing Uzbek som. I would appreciate advice of the location of any Tashkent airport, bank or hotel ATMs which accept Mastercard reliably 24/7 as I will be arriving at Tashkent airport on a Saturday evening in September.
Best Answer
Mastercard website has an ATM finder.
Put Tashkent in the search box and click find.
There appears to be one in the international airlines terminal at the airport.
Hotel Grand Mir is the closest hotel with one to the city centre (1.46 miles), I'd say it's likely that will be open 24/7.
There's other hotels in the search results though and on street ATMs (also likely to be available 24/7).

Answer 2
From when I went in 2011, it's TOUGH to find one. Things have hopefully improved, but I found ATMs (two) - both Mastercard and Visa - at the Grand Mir hotel. They also have a nice cafe (albeit expensive).
It's also a convenient place to hide while waiting for your Tajikistan visa (close to the embassy) and you're without passport.
