Dushanbe accommodation

Hi all I am in Dushanbe & have a nice hotel for a couple of nights to treat myself after the Wakhan road.
I need one more nights accommodation here,the hotel will only let me stay 2 nights due to prior bookings. Can anyone recommend somewhere for under $35 a night?

Great, let us know all about it. Are those GPS co-ords Bertrand provided accurate? Is it easy to find? What's it like? Pics would be nice too.

Yeti hostel. 38.57920 68.73968 according to my SPOT, don't use GPS. Not too difficult to find as I used the very useful visual guide on their website, the instructions were not entirely clear but the pics were very handy. The main road being shut for roadworks was a fly in the ointment but a police officer let me ride through the barriers and through the road works.
The hostel is on the 6th floor of a block of flats, the lift doesn't stop on the 6th floor so go to floor 7 & walk back down one level. Its the furthest back from the road of 3 buildings.
Hostel itself is compact, with an 8 bed dorm & two 4 bed forms, all bunkbeds, no lockers but has aircon. A nice common area, 2 toilets, 2 showers & a very small kitchen area with fridge, microwave & kettle.
Its nicely done, well decorated & very clean. Easy to get into town & has local shops & eateries close by.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
