Hotel Gurluşykçy

Turkmenistan


This friendly yet unpronounceable hotel is an old Soviet-era place and the cheapest option in town. The rooms are large apartments with a living room, a couple of bedrooms, and rather awful bathrooms, though there’s usually hot water. It is located behind the Hotel Turkmenabat. No English is spoken and air con is in some rooms only.
