Hotel is cheap, 180 somoni (36$), and is in the city center just right the Opera House. Rooms are clean, and if they're not you can easily ask to one of the women always walking around. Bathroom and shower working properly, even if a bit messy after use. Few people speak english there, but they're all willing to help

Great location in downtown Dushanbe, right in front of the Opera house. The hotel is a non-renovated soviet era building.Rooms start at 150 somoni and are old and worn out. Most have bathrooms, but our was not in a good condition (lack of water pressure in shower, loose tiles, water on floor). Some of the beds are small, hard and uncomfortable. Lack of heating during winter and cooling during summer (some rooms have fans). Loud disco in the right part of the building. Staff are friendly, but their english skills are quite limited. Bottom line: You get what you pay for.
