Reviews
Despite the hotel's excellent location and proximity to the holy shrine, and the satisfaction of many guests with the friendliness and appropriate behavior of staff, there are noticeable weaknesses in terms of building deterioration, the need for renovation, and a lack of modern amenities. The quality of food is considered average, and some guests have mentioned health issues in the bathrooms and unpleasant odors. However, considering its location and price, many guests consider the hotel acceptable and are willing to stay again.

It was nice. The quality of food and service and the behavior of the hotel staff were good. The room was clean.
Dear and respected, we chose this hotel because of its excellent proximity to the shrine and were generally satisfied with our stay. The location is truly ideal. The room was clean and tidy, although the hotel itself is old, and if the windows and bathrooms are renovated (especially the problem of the window not closing completely and the water accumulating in the bathroom), the quality of the stay will be much better. The breakfast was delicious and well-organized but considered somewhat weak from the point of view of variety. The hotel's restaurant serves food freely at a reasonable price. A positive and commendable point is the early check-in, which indicates the cooperation and respect of the staff. If more hangers are added or a standing coat rack, it would be more practical. Overall, considering the price, the excellent location and the good behavior of the staff, I give it a full score. This is just my personal opinion, and naturally, tastes differ, but in my view, one should judge fairly and carefully when writing a review because these reviews have a big impact on others' choices. Make sure to bring towels, bedding, shampoo, slippers, hairdryer and tea from Lipton as well as paper towels
It was not bad, for me it was important to visit, which was made possible due to its good proximity
I stayed for one night because of the very close proximity to the shrine, which was very good, but in general, the hotel needs renovation and also more attention to hygiene.
Good
From the point of view of location, it is very good, both close to Imam Reza market and Abbas Qoli Khan market and Edris Hotel. In general, the hotel is good according to its star rating. But the food is not good at all
Overall, for someone who wants to be close to the shrine and doesn't care much about the level of hygiene and room quality, given the good staff and good restaurant food, it is not bad. But if it is important for you, hygiene etc., then it may not be very suitable. But in general, it was not a bad experience. It was a good experience.
The hotel was good, I definitely choose this hotel again.
Excellent
