    Hostel with a great atmosphere

    Finding the place without help when first arriving could be challenging. In Central Asia, I'm already used to rooms without a reading light (an issue here as well) but additionally, small, cheap improvements would be welcome (waste bin in the room, hand towel in the toilet).

    What the guest house lacks in amenities is compensated by the cool atmosphere. I stayed all in all four nights in the hostel and saw quite many people come and go as their average stay was shorter. As the hostel is entered through the living room / kitchen, unless one is very introverted, meeting very interesting people is so easy here. At best the atmosphere resembled that of an alcohol and noise free house party. Additionally, the hostel is practically located close to the bazaar. The owner's son speaks excellent English and the owner herself tries her best in English as well.

    Common area is bit too small.

    This guesthouse is a little bit hard to find at first but the location is very center of the city… short walk to local markets and attractions. My room is pretty comfortable. AC works perfect which is a bless for extremely hot days while I was there. Basic breakfasts are included which consisted of fried egg, sausages, breads, and fruit.

    The dormitory was double booked when got there but they found a solution. The area for breakfast is a bit small and the breakfast is always the same if you stay several days. Whilst the linen is very clean, the overall guesthouse could be cleaner.

    The staff in particular the owners' daughter was extremely helpful, always available, always trying to help, really nice family. The overall atmosphere was really nice and we extended our stay. Nice area for the bicycles to be stored

    Nothing, this place was awesome.

    Great location (near Bazaar and a 30 minute walk from the citadel) and friendly staff (who met me outside and guided me to the guest house) plus a tasty breakfast is included to get you started with your day.

    The immediate.surroundings are a bit shabby. The staff was not willing to let us use a better room (for extra payment, of course) stating that it was booked, yet nobody used it during our stay. This was weird.

    Hostel style accomodation which is well located. Good value for money but do not expect high quality.

    Near impossible to find. No signage and hidden away in a little alley. Also the plumbing is an adventure.

    Comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Easy walking distance through the busy but interesting market to the ‘town square’ with its very nice mosque and lots of local colour.

    There are not a lot of accommodation in Khodjent, which Can explain the Price a bit High (compared to others in Tadjikistan)

    Comparing other hostels I stayed in Tajikistan it was quite expensive, for one night paying 15 USD for a bed in the dorm. I would be happier if it cost less and not more than 12 usd.

    Quiet and friendly staff.
