Nazhvan Sepahan Hotel Isfahan

Chaharbagh Paeen, Posht Baroo 14 Alley

A restored house in the Posht Baroo lanes off lower Chaharbagh, where the rooms keep the old Persian words for them, vosagh, faraghat-khaneh and khab-khaneh, alongside a Qajar royal suite. Three of the six have their bathroom outside the room rather than in it, and one corner twin has a ceiling of about 170 centimetres, which the listing states plainly and taller guests should take seriously.

Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Hasan Abad Bazaar, Ostahbanati Dead End

Six rooms inside the Hasan Abad bazaar quarter, off Naqsh-e Jahan Square itself, so you step out into the covered market rather than onto a road. Rooms sleep one to six. It carries no star classification: this is a small guesthouse in the oldest commercial part of the city.

Emam Khomeini Street, Resalat 1 Street, opposite Resalat Traffic Park

An eleven-room three-star on Emam Khomeini Street, west of the centre, with duplex and villa-style units among the ordinary rooms. Capacities run to seven, which is unusual in this city, so it works for a group travelling together rather than for a couple.
