Dushanbe Hostels

"Shoes-off but will.accept clean indoor slippers. Electric supply needs attention. Otherwise good.-- Classic backpacker hostel- old maps on wall, stickers from all over (even Wall Drug), great huge old mansion with courtyard, plenty of bathrooms, walkable from downtown, clean sheets and blanket, spacious old school kitchen, decent service, the dorm room is large open-bay with twin sized beds, no bunks, en suite bathroom, rickety but functional A/C unit. I spoke to the manager about Electric service as my charger wire fried when I connected it to an extension cord; that they apparently came and removed from the room. Bed had 2 springs out of whack producing pressure points; I remedied by sleeping on the thick clean comforter they provided- slept well- place has good vibes. Manager aware of electricity issue. Place needs some work but is obviously a potential backpacker haven for Dushanbe- maybe already is- many international nice folks there when I stayed. I really am hoping they can resource for a few updates on the electric, and the dorm room (I think I am partial due to stays at Desti hostels around China). I would say please support this place but inquire about the electric socket you need to use."
