It’s a wonderful hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast buffet is excellent, offering a wide variety of food. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and comfortable. The location is perfect only 5minute walk from Istiklal Street. A special thank you to the Assistant Guest Manager, Ms. Hanieh Baghestani, who was incredibly kind and arranged a lovely birthday surprise for our son in the room. Mr. Tahir and Mr. Suleiman were also very helpful and professional at the reception. We truly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this hotel.
