Shahid Medani St; s/d/tr US$50/70/90; )
Owner-manager Mr Bagherian is extremely proud of his newly refurbished hotel, and no
wonder. In an excellent location in the centre of town, its 60 new rooms have tiled floors,
a decent amount of space, double-glazed windows and bathrooms with tub and sit-down
toilet. Be sure to specify one of these rather than the extremely worn rooms in the old sec-
tion. There's a top-floor restaurant and an internet cafe in the lobby.
