Reviews of Guest House Sharq 21

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.

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).

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.

Common area is bit too small.

Comfortable beds, friendly staff, A/C, nice breakfast, quiet area and great location

Next to the bazaar

It's not easy to find. I had to ask two people to find it. The price is expensive.

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

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.

Nice tourist place, we had a private room, which was nice and comfortable. The family is welcoming and english speaking.

Woukd be nice to have AC in common (dinning) area. You should ask for breakfast...

Great just helpful great breakfast and fruits

Very expensive for type of place. No water pressure and internet was not best always

Right next to the baazar. The hostel is perfect for solo travelers. Breakfast is also good. Also cute kittens

Washroom can be cleaner.

Good location. Floor beds are nice. Clean also. Breakfast is quite extensive too.

Expensive, but the cheapest place in Khujand overall. Accommodation is not cheap here.

Staff were nice and helpful. The breakfast was really great! Simple clean kitchen with fridge and freezer. Location was near to market and good eateries.

The AC was hardly working during the 40-degree days, so the room wasnt that cool even with the ac set to 16.. the beds were bit uncomfortable and could feel the springs and sheets didnt fit the bed so they kept coming off. No bins in the room or kitchen. Hardly any space to keep your bag. One toilet wouldn't flush so just smelt like piss the whole time and bathrooms weren't cleaned frequently enough.

Good for singles and it's best location, owner lady is very helpful

It is too small

Nice hostel in the very center of the city.

Great open dorm( no bunks), spacious. Clean and quiet and secure, has air conditioning. Good wifi and really good breakfast Not hard to find, just ask any one in neighbourhood, everyone knows where it is Close to market, central. Long walk across the bridge to the beach and river side restaurants

Lovely cats 💕

On the second day I received a WhatsApp message, that I need to move out of the room in 2 hours because someone else booked my room😅 Although I booked it already... When we came to the hostel we made a deal with the son that we can move to the other room but communication on WhatsApp was odd and not nice

Fantastic location and the main hostess was extremely kind and welcoming. She made breakfast whenever we wanted.

The price is borderline robbery in a city like Khujand. I know it’s the cheapest out paying over 10$ per night is way to expensive. After the first night, they tried to make us pay extra than the night before. An employee made up a bullshit reason that the family room THEY put us in the night before was only for families. Since the three of us were just friends, we would have to pay extra for the three beds. But after som arguing they rescinded there ridiculous claim. The power also ran out in the middle of the day, because they forgot to top up the gas or something. 40 degrees and no AC should never happen when that charge that price.

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.

Nothing, this place was awesome.

Breakfast is nice

There was little or no running water most of the time, so it was very difficult to use the toilet or take a shower.
