Hotel Anvari Tehran

Anvari Hotel is located on the top floor of an old building on Enghelab Street, between Ferdowsi Square and College Crossroads, and is a popular choice for students and budget travelers with its very reasonable prices. The small hotel offers 25 simple rooms, with single and double beds and clean but worn linens. The shared bathrooms, located at the end of the corridors, are cleaned twice a day, although due to the building’s age, plumbing problems can sometimes occur.

The hotel’s small reception hall, which has been converted into a simple café, serves a simple breakfast of Sangak bread, Lighvan cheese and Iranian tea. The hotel’s biggest advantage is its exceptional location – a five-minute walk from the University of Tehran metro station and the famous bookstores on Enghelab Street. The hotel management, who have been in business in the area for over 20 years, has a good knowledge of the area’s cheap shopping malls and student restaurants.

The price per night is about a quarter of the price of similar hotels in the city center. Although amenities are very limited and the thin walls of the hotel sometimes allow for noise, the excellent access to cultural centers and public transportation makes it the first choice for many budget-minded travelers. The Anvari Hotel is more suitable for those who plan to spend most of their time outside the hotel and are just looking for a place to sleep.
