Hotel Tajikmatlubot

Dushanbe


This good-value hotel has 11 rooms that are each veritable suites. The parquet floor and flock wallpaper lend the rooms something of an antique character – a theme continued in the shared dining space. Despite being in the southern wing of a rather unattractive block, the hotel manages to feel more like a guesthouse with a pretty garden attached.
