Persia Hotel in Isfahan is a top-rated economy accommodation in the city. Location is a defining factor in opting for hotels and hostels in Isfahan and it is Persia Hotel’s greatest asset. The hotel is a ten minutes’ drive to the main tourist attractions of Isfahan. Another advantage of Persia hotel is its proximity to the metro station in Isfahan’s beautiful Chahar Bagh Street. Persia Hotel doesn’t offer the same level of luxury as Isfahan’s more sumptuous traditional hotels. But the facilities and the warm hospitality of the staff are worth every penny you pay. Then, if you are looking for a cheap hotel in Isfahan, or as Iranian people say “Half of the World,” Persia Hotel is the one. In spite of being a single-star hotel, Persia Hotel’s level of service equals that of many two-star hotels, and it is definitely higher than Isfahan’s guesthouses and hostels. Beside basic facilities, clean rooms with simple and functional furniture, all 27 rooms have TVs and private bathrooms. One could also mention a fabulous restaurant next to the hotel which is run by the same company that owns Persia Hotel. Due to this affinity between Persia Hotel and the restaurant, you can order meals and have them delivered to the hotel. And the incredible thing is that you can have your tasty meal in the comfort of your room without paying any extra sum. All the great features mentioned above make Persia Hotel an ideal budget accommodation among Isfahan’s hotels.
