Khujand Grand Hotel

Clean and nice place with perfect location and excellent restaurant. It is located next to the ancient castle. The breakfast is really rich and tasty. You can also have a good meal at the restaurant outside the breakfast hours. All in all, the experience was positive. The only small point is the wall mounted TV sets. They are really small for the size of the rooms. I didn't even bother watching it.

Located in the middle of Khujand, it is a rather new hotel. There is no lift, but the friendly manager immediately carried my luggage up the stairs. My room was massive, with plenty of space to open luggage, a little dressing table and seating area. As often in Central Asia, the large bed was very firm, but with crispy white linen. Large bathroom with one of those plastic shower boxes that rattle and leak ; the vanity was cheap and wobbled a bit. There were very little amenities. I think the restaurant is run separate from the hotel ; you go there for breakfast and get a fixed amount that you are allowed to spend. The breakfast is a la carte ; they serve freshly squeezed juice (apple, orange), nutella pancakes, delicious yogurt and great cappuccino. I suspect this would be the best hotel in the area and I would stay again without hesitation.
