Stayed here twice in Aug 2024 with friends. This was at the start and end of our Tajikistan Pamir Highway trip.
Location is very central and near most landmarks, which we walked to in 15-20 min. There are also many great restaurants in the area, for visiting tourists and business people. It is also very close to the airport, maybe 10-15 min drive.
The building looks very new from the outside, but the inside is more like a traditional hotel. The rooms specifically remind me of the old Taj Group hotels in the 1990/early 2000s, especially the toiletries seem to smell the same as well. However the room is very spacious and comfortable, and the bed offers comfortable sleep. While the efficient aircon offers respite from the heat outside. Windows are well sealed and dont let any road noise in, despite being located on a busy avenue.
The facilities are decent at the hotel including the restaurant and the bar, both of which have good staff, even if the culinary offerings are quite standard. WiFi works decently.
The pool area could be larger, and seemed to be fully occupied and quite crowded on the 2 occasions I visited. The hotel would do well to move it to the back yard from the current location on the roof.
Overall, I would recommend staying here. There is some sense of nostalgia and old school hospitality vibe, but it’s all good. Don’t expect a major luxe experience, even though it may feel like that after your travels on the Pamir Highway.
