Amirkabir Hotel

The two-star Amir Kabir Hotel on Naser Khosrow Street in Tehran is a convenient place for affordable accommodation in the center of the capital. My spouse, my son, and I stayed for seven nights in a triple room on the second floor without an elevator. The hotel does not have parking, so we had to park our car overnight until the next afternoon at a cost of around two hundred thousand tomans in the Naser Khosrow covered parking on South Sadi Street. The staff's behavior was very respectful. The overall cleanliness of the rooms was good. The facilities and cleanliness were acceptable for a two-star hotel considering its price. Apparently, a very old building has been converted into this hotel. The lobby with traditional decoration for spending time and having breakfast was very pleasant, overlooking the underground traditional restaurant. The hotel breakfast was the main weakness. In the first few days, an elderly gentleman named Masoumi would prepare warm breakfast items like sausages, lentils, hot beans, and omelets and manage the breakfast table well. However, in his absence on subsequent days, the only warm breakfast was egg and tomato sauce, which, like other items, quickly ran out, and no one refilled them.

A convenient and upfront 3* place to stay in the center of Tehran. The exception is the staff, that does more than they are meant to, for example, providing an honest help with exchanging money and getting a sim-card when it’s all off. So relates to a very decent all-around inner terrace restaurant. At the moment, this place is underrated in Google.

My rating is based on my experience half a century ago. (I dare the hotel not to delete this review!) I stayed here in 1972 on my way to India in a Hippie bus. All rooms were full, but we were told that we could sleep on the floor in the kitchen in our sleeping bags - for the same rate as was charged for a room: one US dollar! We didn't have a choice as all other hotels in the area were full, too. I wonder if things have changed....

We stayed in the hotel for 1 night (twin bed room for 40 Euro per night - price for off-season). The room was big and clean, but you could hear the AC from outside during the night (ear plugs if your sensitive to noise). The bathroom was ok, but we had nicer ones in cheaper hotels. There was a western sit-down-toilet.||Breakfast was ok (bread, cucumber, jam, honey, labne, tomato; no coffee, no fruits). ||The location is very good - 10 min. walking distance to the Golestan Palace and the Bazar. ||Wifi worked

I enjoyed my stay as I managed to get nowruz discount. For full price I would be a bit unsatisfied. The location is just great, rooms nice and clean. You even get towel. Breakfast is very basic for this price, and sometimes noisy in nights which is quite common in Iran. Staff could be also quieter in mornings.

1. The owner was dissatisfied with the fact that the payment in Iranian rials, he wanted the euro. Payment in the rials is not at the official rate, which is 1.5 times more expensive. 2. There was no second sheet on the bed to hide - you had to ask 3. A good restaurant, but the waiters do not speak English, the Iranians are better served 4. The most unpleasant - dirty toilet and saving paper and towels

The location is very good, the Golestan Palace, Bazaar, Metrp and Parks are in walking distance. The room was big and clean, maybe a little bit to dark, the bathroom was ok, but with turkish toilet. Nice people all around. See you next time.

The hotel is expensive. The rooms are ok but could be way much better. The one we got had almost no natural light and we had no sheets with blankets. The decoration is very old. The breakfast is not that good, just bread and marmelade and eggs. No fruits or cheese. The people working there speaks the basic English but may can't help you if you need something special. The restaurant is ok. It is therefore well located, very close to the bazar and metro station.
