Dushanbe Serena Hotel

Staff are really nice and friendly, the rooms are clean and attractive, beds and pillows are comfortable and the roof top pool is wonderful when the weather is hot. The breakfast is nice too, with tasty fresh pastries. The hotel is also very well situated. The air conditioning and internet were pretty good for Tajikistan, and all the staff seem to speak good English which is quite unusual. I ended up staying here on 3 separate legs of my journey, and I enjoyed each stay very much. It's on the main road but not too noisy and there is a nice garden too.

The hotel was conveniently located for Samani Monument and the archaeological museum, which was really worth a visit. There were some restaurants/cafes across Rudaki Avenue from the hotel. To our surprise, pizzas were quite popular here. The hotel, though a little bit old, was tastefully decorated and well maintained. The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was really good and delicious. There was a bank inside the hotel and really convenient for currency exchange.

Rudaki Avenue is where most of the magic happens in Dushanbe, which I didn't appreciate before I stayed here, so it was a great comfort to have the hotel in this location. The bed was great for my needs, as I prefer firm mattresses! The breakfast and dinner buffet were exceptional, as was the coffee in the bar. The self-contained nature of the hotel was also good, i.e, having a cash exchange office on site was really handy. The best part of it however, was the staff. Medina, et al, who looked after me and conversed with me throughout, and took care of my repeated requests for taxis, information re shops, etc, at short notice, were so helpful, courteous and kind. I took the opportunity to speak with the head of catering and services to give him verbal feedback too. All in all, it was a pleasure to stay here.

I booked a room for my mom. It's been her second stay at 'Serena Dushanbe' since last year. We visited her there, of course. A great hotel, a spacious and cosy room, a wonderful staff and amazing location. Hope to be able to book a room next year.

The staff was very helpful, the rooms were large and comfortable, breakfast was great and the location is very convenient to walk to restaurants and parks.
