Dear. I and my wife stayed at this hotel from 22/10/98 to 25/10/98, and due to the price offered and the facilities of the hotel and the good behavior of the staff, especially Ms. Abadini, everything was beyond our expectations. Thank you to all the staff of Ara Hotel in case of a new trip to Yazd, I will choose this hotel again.
Very very good
We stayed in this beautiful accommodation for two nights. In total, we had booked three double bed rooms. Although one of the rooms was not ready due to some mismatch, the responsible and respectful behavior of the hotel manager made us forget all about it. The breakfast in the hotel was very delicious and excellent with a suitable variety.
I stayed for one night and everything was great. I recommend it.
In relation to the rating and reviews, it was really poor.
Given the current conditions and the lack of interior arrangement of the accommodation and my first experience with such a place, it is very difficult.
The atmosphere is very beautiful and the behavior of the staff is very good. The location is also good. The quality of breakfast was really great. The cleanliness of the rooms was also good. We were not satisfied with the cleanliness of the room, but if you are as sensitive to cleanliness as we are, you may be dissatisfied, but overall everything was excellent and satisfactory, and the price is very suitable for the facilities and atmosphere.
Without a doubt, it was one of the best trips of my life and I was generally satisfied with my stay at Ara Hotel.
In general, the hotel is good and acceptable given the price.
