Three room types, all of them for three or four people including a duplex, so it is aimed at families rather than solo travellers.

Single · Double · Twin

Suite Double · Twin · Single

A four-star on Valiasr above the Beheshti crossroads, in the mid-north of the city where the street is at its busiest and best connected. Four room types, including a suite for two; capacities stop at two, so it is not a family hotel.

Twin · Single · Double

A three-star on Taleghani Street between Iranshahr and Mousavi, a short walk from Enghelab. Unusually for its size it runs two grades of nearly every room, standard and VIP, across singles, doubles, twins, triples and suites, so the same hotel covers a tight budget and a more comfortable night.

A three-star on Sepahbod Gharani between Ferdowsi Square and Somayyeh, walking distance from the exchange offices around Ferdowsi and from the City Theatre. Five room types up to a quadruple, including a double let to one person.

Mirdamad St, Hesari St, corner of First Alley

Seven apartment-style rooms on Hesari Street off Mirdamad, three-star, sleeping one to four. North-central, and better suited to a stay of several days than a single night.

Apartment One-bedroom Double · Apartment Two-bedroom Quadruple

An apartment hotel rather than a room hotel, on Mosiri Street off Fatemi Square near Laleh Park. There are only two unit types, a one-bedroom for two and a two-bedroom for four, both sized for a stay of several days rather than a single night.

Twin Royal · Double Royal · Single

An unclassified apartment hotel on Naseri Street off Valiasr, mixing ordinary rooms with two- and three-bedroom apartments and a pair of rooms in a royal grade. The three-bedroom units take three people, so this is a place for a family staying a while rather than a one-night stop.

Triple

A five-star tower on the Chamran expressway in the north-west, with duplex units and suites among its rooms, sleeping one to four. Built for business travellers and conference guests: the mountains are close, the bazaar is not.

Twin · Double · Quadruple

Not in Tehran proper: this one sits at Khanlagh village in Fashafuyeh, well south of the city on the Hasanabad side, so plan on a drive to reach anything in the centre. Five room types sleeping two to four, including a quadruple suite, in open country rather than on a city street.

Newly opened five-star in 2022 near Nahj al-Balagha Garden and the Punk River, offering quick access to universities, shopping malls and several historic shrines - a convenient base with pool, sauna and breakfast for academic or pilgrimage visits.

Poonak, Fallahzadeh St

A five-star in Poonak, in the west of the city, done in the manner of a traditional Persian house: the rooms are named rather than numbered, and they include a duplex shah-neshin, the raised alcove where a household once received guests, and a room called the royal iwan. Every one of the eight sleeps one or two, so this is built for couples rather than families.

Single CF · Single EF · Single PF
