Umariyon

I stayed three nights here. I was on my own but was given a spacious twin room in any case, for the equivalent of €60 in total. This is not a budget hotel. I had private facilities, a TV, a fridge, superb A/C, excellent free WiFi, and free bits & pieces like slippers and a toothbrush. Breakfast was included too. It's something to eat in the morning but no great shakes. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly, English-speaking owner. He organised a trip for me to Haft-Kul/the Seven Lakes. One day he brought a huge plate of different fruits into my room, completely free. I had stupidly forgotten I was leaving on a Sunday, obviously the banks were closed, I didn't have enough TJS, and he accepted a mix of TJS and Euro as payment. The hotel is slap bang in the centre with everything you might need right round the corner.
