spot in the 18th-microrayon suburb. Taxi

4 ¨Sleeping
Except for the Sharq and Grand, hotels
charge foreigner prices that can be as much
as twice what Tajik citizens would pay. Most
double rooms at better central hotels have
queen (not twin) beds, which you'll find at
the overpriced central Hotel¨Khujand ( % 659
97; Mavlonbekov 1; lux 220TJS; a ) , next-door Ho-
tel¨Vahdat ( % 651 01; Mavlonbekov 3; half lux/lux
220/280TJS; a ) , or the newer, overly colourful
Hotel¨Heson ( % 648 45; lenin 3b; d 220-240TJS) .
Hotel¨Leninobod¨ HOTEl $
( % 655 35; Nabiev 51; dm/s/d 70/90/140TJS) Well
placed on the corniche with views across the
Syr-Darya to northern Khojand's stark rocky
backdrop, this patched-up Soviet tower op-
erates only two floors and decor has evolved
little since 1990, with dim lighting and a
broken lift. Still some rooms have been
repainted and the sullen dezhurnaya
(floor-lady) will fix a pot of tea for 1TJS.
Hotel¨Sharq¨ HOSTEl $
(Sharq; dm/tw/tr/q 12/30/45/60TJS) Friendly
but very basic traders' hostel on the top
floor of Panchshanbe Bazaar (entered from
half way along the south exterior). There's
only one shared toilet and to wash, staff can
direct you to a banya nearby. Women might
feel uncomfortable here.
Hotel¨Sugd¨ HOTEl $$
( % 411 88; hotel_sugd@mail.ru; lenin 179a; s/d
180/290TJS, lux 370-400TJS incl breakfast; aW )
Khojand's best midrange choice is 150m
south of the nasty but more visible Ehson.
Neat, carpeted rooms with pale yellow soft
furnishings and slightly garish fabric 'art'
come with fridge, toiletries and hair dryer.
Friendly staff valiantly attempt basic English.
