Units at Alan can be booked for one to four people, and each room is named with inspiration from Iranian culture, such as Shahdokht, Katayoun, and Mahush.

We really enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. I highly recommend staying at Alan Traditional Residence.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with orange blossom tea and the room was prepared for us even though we arrived earlier. The breakfast was very rich and varied. It included omelets, halim, stews, and sausage. There were also cream, cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, several jams, simple cream, chocolate cream, and possibly yellow pudding. Overall, we experienced a beautiful, clean, and old-fashioned environment for four nights.
The room was very nice and the staff were really friendly. The hotel's location is also very good.
It is important to have a hotel with oversight on cleanliness and basic standards. I highly recommend visiting and having a drink.
