Hotel Safir

Esfahan

Safir Hotel is centrally locaed and you will receive a friendly wlecome.Rooms are a little tired, but they are clean and ensuite.There is the traditional Iranian problem of a lack of proper double glazing, though for a 3 star option it's not bad at all.

If you walk out of the hotel and turn left, then left again, you are on the main road to the Zayandeh River. If you turn right, then left, you're on your way to Imam Square.
