In my opinion this is the best place to stay in Dushanbe. It feels like a real home away from home. The staff here were so friendly and hospitable, even helping me after I'd moved to my apartment and was no longer a guest. There is a free airport pickup, a driver available on request, and a laundry service. Guests... More

You will not receive better attention to detail than you will find at Marian's Guesthouse in Dushanbe. The room was large, clean, well furnished, and lovely and warm on the cold winter's day that I arrived but it is the attention to detail that puts this guesthouse in a separate class. A car at the airport to meet you, smiling... More

Cannot say anything about last five years, but I was staying at Marion's during my business trips to Dushanbe in 2004-2006. Excellent nice place, where you feel yourself like home. Good breakfast, free beer and soft drinks in the fridge, internet connection and plenty of DVDs. What else do you need after you finish your hard working day?

The Guesthouse is in a great location, easy walking distance to anything in the center of town. The staff are dedicated and attentive, and, as other reviews note, it's the little things like having a driver on-call and being able to get an 'expediter' on arrival at the airport that make life just a bit easier. You won't get this... More

We stayed here for a long weekend during winter and it was really nice. Very much a B&B type of place with simple but clean rooms and sufficient heating. The breakfast was truly awesome, served at any time of your choice in the downstairs common living room where you sit at the same table as other guests (if there are... More

We stayed here for three weeks in November. The positives of staying here are that it is very central, you meet some very interesting guests at breakfast in the morning, most on different projects. The staff are are wonderful, especially the cook who will cook you a very good omelette for breakfast, she is always happy and so pleasant, quite... More

I can understand why this receives a lot of 5 star ratings and some 1 or 2 stars. If you like the B&B / hostel type accommodation, you will love it. If you want a hotel, this is not for you. A character place with a touch of quirkiness. Cats inside, free laundry, a range of books in the library,... More

The guesthouse makes for a very commfortable stay. Some of the services that I appreciated most were the free on-call driver, free laundry, free internet, extensive library, ... these all make it a very good spot to plan onward travel or recover from a long journey. The breakfast was also great, with lots of fresh produce and eggs cooked on... More

I stayed at Marian's for three days while on a business trip in Central Asia. The guesthouse is centrally located yet tucked away from the street behind high walls (with 24-hour security). The house and gardens are lovely and the staff are very friendly. I really enjoyed eating breakfast every morning with people from different parts of the world. Marian's... More
