Ostan-e Zanjan Hotels

Hafez

Hotel Hafez was the cheapest hotel I stayed in during my visit to Iran. As a single women it is often best to pay a little bit more. The hotel is basic (which I don’t mind as long as it is clean). There were hair on the sheets and some strange animals in the bathroom (only saw two of them). There was a big window facing the roundabout outside and the curtains were to thin for me to feel convenient with too much light on in the dark.
The second evening there was suddenly someone knocking on the door. As it took some time for me to cover up before opening the persons was going away but came back as I opened. It was the boy from the hotel standing in the background and a man showing his id, saying he was a police and that he wanted to see my passport. He asked some questions and then apologised saying he would not have come to my room if he had known that it was a women staying in the room.
The hotel is situated in central Zanjan, above a cheap restaurant, where you can by breakfast in the morning. Bread, tea and yoghurt was IR 4000.
For the room I paid IR 80 000 a night (June 2006).
