Arian Hotel$$
( 826 1266; www.arianhotelhamadan.com ; Takhti St; s/tw/tr US$54/65/80) At this in-
viting midrange hotel, each floor has a different, gently appealing style of decor with
modernist lamps on the 3rd floor and a more opulent period look on the 4th. Check out the
2nd floor to see what they consider 'British style'. The lobby has a couple of gratuitous
Persepolis-aping columns. Some English is spoken.

Farshchi Guest House$
(Mosaferkhaneh-ye Farsi; Shohada St; tw/tr/q/5-bed US$6/8/10/13, showers US$1) By
mosaferkhaneh standards the Farshchi is a cosy, friendly place with something of a family
atmosphere, with plastic flowers and samovars giving vague touches of humanity to the
area of shared squat toilets and washbasins. Most rooms are four-bedded.

Ordibesht Hotel$
( 252 2056; Shohada St; s/tw/tr/q without bathroom US$10/15/18/20) Bright and un-
usually airy, this no-nonsense mosaferkhaneh is compulsively cleaned and Ali speaks
some English. There are separate toilet facilities for men and women and 'free showers
for foreigners'. Most rooms are quads (US$15 for single occupancy).

Buali Hotel$$
( 825 0856; Buali St; s/d/tr/ste US$84/99/ 135/212; ) The standard rooms have
fridge, BBC World on TV and floral pseudo-silk fabrics, but the bathrooms are very out-
dated. The suites are a considerable step up while the annexe rooms are quiet but a decor-
ative throwback to the USSR.
HOTEL
Baba Taher Hotel$$$
( 422 6517; Baba Taher Sq; s/tw US$99/125; ) The mirror-tiled lobby and res-
taurant offer a dazzlingly garish festival of Las Vegas kitsch while corridors test out the
full palate of pastel colours. The reasonably well-appointed rooms are thankfully some-
what more subdued, but barely justify the discounted price (from US$70) let alone rack-
rates. English spoken.
