In two years’ time I visited Dushanbe again and of course Hyatt was the only choice of my “second home”. From the moment of entering into the hotel lobby my eyeballs were immediately attracted by the interior glamour filled with embellishments of Tajik uniqueness. At checkin, I received a very warm welcome from Abdu who briefed me on all details pertaining to my stay. Abdu is by far among the most passionate and hospitable associates I have ever come across with Hyatt hotels worldwide. Despite his young age, his hospitality quality stood out from the rest of the team. Over time, experience can be accumulated and skillsets can be refined. However, when it comes to hotel servicing at international brands like Hyatt, the mentality (which means the heart and passion) is the key to everything. Abdu showed tremendous interests in his work at the front office, as well as an unwavering commitment to according guests’ satisfaction to the top priority. Apart from handling any enquiries and concerns that I had during my two-night stay at Hyatt, Abdu even assisted me with my personal issues such as arranging for money exchange (when all banks in town were closed in the weekend) and advising on some shopping options nearby the hotel. He was at all times eager to assist whenever and wherever possible. I highly commend Abdu and would like to send my specific compliments across, simply because he possessed all the qualities and attributes essential for being a hospitality professional. Last but not least, I have to recognise the collaborative efforts of Zulkifl (General Manager), Fakhriddin (Front Office Manager), Igor (F&B Manager) and their respective teams in taking care of my booking, without which my experience with Hyatt Regency Dushanbe would never be as seamless and flawless as Hyatt hotels worldwide used to offer.
