    Spacious budget option

    • 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room

    Cleanliness of kitchen and common area. Just mopping the floors is not enough, all surfaces were sticky. I know part of it is because of the clientele, but that just means 1x cleaning per day is not enough (or better control is needed: daily people were sitting barefoot on the kitchen tops, not very hygienic to prepare food on). Also, sheets were clean, but the (only) blankets provided to sleep under were not washed. I checked all 6 of them in the dorm, and all had hairs on it. I requested a sheet instead, which was provided.

    Great value for money. What stood of most is the receptionist, who really went above and beyond to provide good service. He was always looking for a way to help or make the experience better. The hostel is spacious, with a big common area with a view over the city. The dorm rooms were also wide and spacious, with even a private sitting area within the room. I had the room to myself for the 4 days I was there. Air-conditioning available, which is crucial in summer (although it does turn itself off at night). There's a kitchen. Wifi available (standard Tajik speed). Warm showers, towels provided. Good location with public transport nearby, and a 24/7 supermarket in the same building. Great option for the price, have recommended to others already.

    • 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room

    Con: -At first not easy to find the entrance because there is no sign of the hostel. I kept going around the apartment took me about 5-10 minutes to confirm by the picture of the bell. I think it will be easy to locate if there is a sign of a hostel at the front door. -The front door needs a door code, and the elevator needs an access key to go up (for the elevator, they will give you one but for the front door either you press the bell or wait until people come out from the door) -The toilet is outside of the room, I'm fine with that but is kind of awkward because it is next to the male's toilet -the shower space is a bit cramped but I'm ok because of my height (I'm not that tall). -sometimes the elevator doesn't work so have to climb the stairs, I'm grateful it's not happening to me on my first or last day there.

    Pro: -easy to find the address (especially when you locate by Google map, the apartment is just by the side road) -maybe 30 minutes of walking to the attractions but is a nice walk since it's a spring season, I love Dushanbe so many flowers. -there is a 24/7 supermarket below the apartment -there is a restaurant below the apartment (I had a green tea lemon and qurutob as recommended, it was a nice meal but the portion was too big so I ended up bringing it as take takeaway). -good to have a female dorm and shower in the room with hot water (the dorm is quite spacious) -you can do laundry for a reasonable fee, there is a washing machine with no dryer but you can hang your clothes on a drying rack. -there is a lift/elevator because the hostel is on the 9th/10th floor -there is an AC in the room -taxi & marshrutka are just in front of the apartment so easy to get around the city -is easy to cross the road because of the connection tunnel -10 minutes walk you can find bank/atm, telco shop and others. -Very nice and good hosts especially my Muslim sister from Russia. She makes my stay very pleasant. Thank you, Anna.

    This hostel was very dirty, under my bed it was full of garbage. The floor was full of hairs and dust (even in the kitchen) It seems that was never been cleaned for the past weeks. When the people of the room left they never changed the bed sheet for more than a week...I had to look for another place to stay because it was a nightmare. CLEAN THIS PLACE, IS DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!

    I could not find the hostel in the first place. My taxi driver was also struggling. There were no signs or anything telling you where the hostel is. Also the WiFi is terrible and the guest behave very disrespectful by blocking the lockers and putting their feet on the table. I do not recommend!

    The woman at the reception was very nice and ready to help

    It's on 9th floor, I am not used to it. Washroom has some kind of weird smell and bathing area is too small for me 5'11, mild bulk. Slight away from city center.

    Staff were good, Manager and Cleaning staff were cool, interactive and welcoming. Nice clean place. Very Good WiFi. Nice workplace in common area to work for Digital Nomads. Spacious kitchen with Air & ventilation. Recommend - Yes

    The accommodation was very pleasant. I spent more than a week in this hotel. It is ideal for relaxing after a trek in nature. Really wonderful space for reading, work and conversation.

    In the evenings, a woman works but she doesn't seem to speak English at all which makes communication difficult. Also the hostel charged me and one other man 100 somoni for the letter for registration in Tajikistan. Other hostels offer the letter for free so please keep in mind.

    I stayed here before and after my Pamir tour, and it's a very nice and quiet hostel. Before my tour, my room was completely full but afterwards it was rather empty, so it really depends on your timing. Beds are comfy, and the hostel is pretty clean. The common space is very large, and the furniture is comfortable. The small library is also a huge plus The location is a bit far from the city center compared to other hostels but all you need to do is take a bus which takes about 30 min (with walking included). Otherwise, there's a supermarket and restaurant in the same building that offers all you need. Btw, try shakorob and kurotob in the restaurant -- very tasty! Amriddin works in the mornings and afternoons and he is great and super helpful.

    Clean, spacious and bright, where you can stay comfortably. The staff is so friendly and he let me store luggage here when I went to the Pamirs. Would like to come again next time! Definitely recommend staying here when you come to Dushanbe.
