ObodHotel

Most of things was broken my room. The sink was not working properly Only hot water came from the faucet. The shower in the bathroom was not working properly.

From the outside, this place does not look like much - it's in a well used, run down commercial building on a backstreet. It doesn't even have the right name outside - the sign says Sakho Hostel ("we use a different name for the internet"). You go up in the lift a couple of floors to the reception area and back the way you came for the rooms - still not looking top great - but open the door to find a clean, spacious, well presented room with a comfortable bed and small table. Wifi worked fine. All I needed. Breakfast was on a single communal table, with sausages, freshly fried eggs, tea, watermelon, cakes etc. They did a load of laundry for me for 50 somoni - it has never smelt so nice. Just a short distance away is a narrow street that you can walk up to Ayni street - one of the main streets of Dushanbe, from where you can catch buses all round town. A couple of buses actually stop at the door - I caught one to the main bus station.
