Rohat Hotel

I enjoyed the location of Rohat Hotel - there is a small supermarket on he opposite side of the small square, and it is a comfortable 12 minute walk down Rudaki Avenue to feach Rudaki Park. While the breakfast was just so so, the women at reception were lovely and helpful. When I visited in July 2023, there was a construction site next to the hotel, but it wasn't noisy. That might be why there was a power cut for a short time on Tuesday evening, and why the water stopped the second night after midnight. However, these were small inconveniences, and I would stay here again.

Where to start? There was only one towel in the room, no running water, no teapot, and I couldn’t find a station on the TV. I called reception and the teapot arrived quickly. They assured me the water would return soon. After a bit the towels came — fresh from the washing machine and still dripping wet. I suggested dry towels might be preferable so they took them away to dry. Three different people came to show me how to operate the television. Soon they all agreed it was broken and couldn’t be repaired or replaced. So no TV for two nights. The water did eventually come on. The comfortable-enough king-sized bed had twin-sized bedding. When we returned from dinner the teapot had disappeared. I called and it was replaced. The next morning all was fine. We slept close together and managed to stay under the narrow quilt. The water pressure was low but hot. Breakfast was minimal but adequate. When we returned after visiting Dushanbe, the room was untouched by housekeeping-no replacement tea or towels and an unmade bed. Of more concern was that we had neither electricity nor water. So much for that shower we had planned. The new front desk lady explained that the water was off because of construction in the area and would return by 1800. I found a circuit breaker outside our door, flipped it and the electricity came on. A half-hour later a gentleman came to fix the electricity. I would highly recommend seeking accommodation elsewhere.
