If you are looking for a simple, unpretentious and economical stay in Kermanshah with good access to the city center, the Rah Karbala Hotel can be a compact and reliable option.
This 2-star hotel is located on Modares Street and is close to the city center. It is a short walk from the historical bazaar, museums and famous Tekiyes of Kermanshah. The hotel building is about 3 floors and has 26 small rooms, so you don’t have much of a crowd and the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.
The units are simply designed but functional: comfortable beds, air conditioning, refrigerator, TV and private bathroom or toilet inside or in the hallway. Breakfast is light and includes fresh bread, cheese, jam and hot tea.
The lobby is small but has a 24-hour reception; free Wi-Fi is also available in the lobby and some rooms, which helps you stay connected. The hotel also has a prayer room, elevator, room service and even a fax and luggage room for the convenience of guests.
The staff is multilingual, speaking everything from Arabic and Kurdish to English; polite and hospitable behavior is usually evident. A few reviews said that the hotel is not very luxurious, like a small guesthouse, but the price is affordable and the experience is adequate.
Of course, there are some weaknesses; such as the lack of private parking, which requires you to park your car outside the hotel, which may be a problem for some. Also, some guests complained about the lack of light or an unpleasant smell in the rooms, so you shouldn't expect luxury.
