I give it a full score
Considering the price, everything was great.
Unbeatable
A very good stay for one or two nights, considering the suitable price.
Not like a hotel, but it was a good accommodation. We got assigned to a different room than the one we booked and stayed in another room for one night, but the staff were friendly.
The stay was good. Although we arrived and were given a different room than the one we had booked, as the previous guest had extended their stay for one night, the staff were friendly.
I had a very pleasant stay. The breakfast was very enjoyable and it was also good to have service inside the room.
Worth the price. The heating system of the room was very good as it had both a heater and an air conditioner. It had a delightful and diverse breakfast and was enjoyable in the courtyard, although there was also the option of having breakfast in the room. I really thank the good staff for their excellent behavior.
Overall, it was a good and pleasant experience.
The cleanliness was good and I think it is very suitable for the facilities, I highly recommend this accommodation for the Khan Salar Traditional Residence tour, which really made my stay enjoyable. For those who are traveling and looking for a cozy and clean place (not those who expect hotel-like stays in traditional residences), I strongly recommend it.
