families, while the 6th-floor rooms will appeal to those with more adventurous tastes in
style.
HOTEL
Firouzeh Hotel$
( 3311 3508; www.firouzehhotel.com ; Dowlat Abad Alley, off Amir Kabir St; s/tw
US$24/36; ; Mellat) If ever there was a hotel whose atmosphere revolved
around one man, this is it. Mr Mousavi is the personification of Persian hospitality and his
enthusiasm, useful information and help with bookings (including day trips to the ski
fields) make an otherwise unremarkable little hotel in an unlovely part of town into the
city's backpacker centre. The small rooms come with cable TV, fridge and bathrooms with
shower and basin; toilets are shared. Recommended.
Golestan Hotel$
( 6671 1417/8; www.gollestanhotel.com ; 14 Hafez St, Hassan Abad Sq; s/d US$26/39;
; Hassanabad) Among a bevy of furniture stores on a quiet section of Hafez St, the
36-room Golestan is in an area around historic Hassan Abad Sq that is bright, open and
more social than Amir Kabir St. Rooms are compact but clean and though management
speaks little English and there's no internet, it's good value. Don't confuse this with ultra-
basic Golestan Guesthouse on Amir Kabir St.
BUDGET HOTEL
Hafez Hotel$
( 6670 9063; hafez hotel@yahoo.com; Bank Alley, off Ferdosi St; s/d US$24/34;
; Imam Khomeini) In a lane beside the big Bank Melli, the rooms here are quiet, clean
and have fridges, fans and pokey bathrooms (some squats, some thrones). Management
speaks English and there's a decent if unremarkable restaurant that's open for lunch and
dinner. With its convenient location and congenial English-speaking management, this is a
fair-value budget option.
BUDGET HOTEL
Hotel Khazar Sea$
( 3311 3860; Ohadi Alley, off Amir Kabir St; s/tw/tr without bathroom or breakfast
US$10/12/13; Mellat) If you don't mind a short walk to the bathroom and catering
your own breakfast, this popular ultra-budget place set around a sunny courtyard is wel-
coming, relatively quiet and good value. Cheery manager Mr Rahmani speaks some Eng-
lish and is happy for guests to use the kitchen and store bicycles.
