Great location: gives you 5-15 min walking access to all the major tourist & historic marvels of the ancient city of Esfahan. For one, 3-5 mins to Si-o-Se Pol bridge, 15 mins to Chehel Sotoon and Meydan-e Nash-e Jahan. All built during Shah Abbas of the Sefevian dynasty somewhere in 16-17th century. Just 30 meters from the hotel is a metro station, hustling & bustling street Chahar Bagh (there used to be 4 gardens there, now is a walking full of cafes, shops, greenery, very clean and lively), right round the corner is a popular Persian restaurant Shahrzad (make sure you book in advance, there are lines of people at the entrance). Personnel is English-speaking, very hospitable and helpful. Make sure you try the Ali Qapu steak in the hotel restaurant, definitely worth your while. For breakfast there is a vast buffet with Persian specials. Freshly renovated spacious rooms, fast internet access. Definitely recommend. I had a very tight business trip schedule, but glad I've chosen this hotel because even if you have just a few hours in town, but still would love some introduction in its history and gastronomy, this hotel gives you an opportunity to have it all without wasting too much time on taxis.
