Conference Hotel "Sipehr" 

Exceptional. I booked via a notable online booking platform for 7 nights, which was lower in price than 6 nights (presumably a promotion?), and I booked with the intention of relaxing and concluding some administration having been travelling for several months. The room was light, with a view of the scenic courtyard. There was a desk, refrigerator, AC, a hairdryer, satellite television and wardrobe. The ensuite contained a corner bath, shower and bidet. There was always hot water with good pressure and three towels and bathroom amenities were provided. My rate included breakfast which was simple, but charming enough. Two eggs, two sausages, bread, jam and a pot of tea or cup of coffee. I enjoyed the ritual of heading downstairs for breakfast, from 8-11. The airport is a 20 minute walk, and the public bus (number 3) can be stopped outside the hotel which will take you to Kujand for 2.50. A small market (Pamir market) is a 5 minute walk away (and it has the best somsas I've ever had...chicken and tomato). The hotel has a gym adjacent to reception, 24 hour staff, and though often very quiet, it is nonetheless professionally managed and everyone was delightful and well-mannered. Airline pilots and cabin crew are also accommodated here. Overall, it was absolutely exceptional and consequently I extended my stay a further 7 days. I enjoyed the town, the proximity to the airport (where I arrived and departed from Dushanbe for £24 each way), and the peaceful nature of this hotel. For me everything was perfect.
