I got here by default. Everything else I checked was full, and what a great place to end up in. Superb hospitality, cleanliness, and a great breakfast is included, to top it off. The great cook will prepare excellent meals for a fee. The host and associated personnel will take care of you and provide a home-like atmosphere. They arrange for multi-day tours into the Pamir mountains or wherever else you want to go, such as to Lake Alexander, on the northern slopes of the Gissar Range in the Fann Mountains. A computer is available, if you happen to arrive w/o. The rooms are large and comfortable and well equipped. You lack absolutely nothing here. As far as the location goes, it is a very short walk to the bus nearest station for large or mini-buses. However, I often walked the entire Rudaki Avenue just because it was great walking in such a comfortable and pleasant town. There are banks, ATMs, and small markets nearby as well. Were I to return to Dushanbe, I could think of no better place to stay than the Comfort Guesthouse. Call them from the airport and they will send their driver to pick you up (for a fee) and you won't have to hassle and bargain with local taxi drivers.
