Hotels in Esfahan and Tehran

We've got to see 3 hotels in Iran. I think I'd just copy my reviews from Trip Advisor and add some futher comments)


Safavi Hotel in Esfahan:
We arrived there by accident after bad experiences with another hotel in Esfahan. They welcomed us warmly anyway and we could enter the room at last. The staff was really nice, not all of them speak English, but it wasn't a problem (there's one lady who speaks excellent English, so you just need to head to her). They helped us whenever we needed, booked us the bus ticked, called the taxi etc. 
Rooms were spacious and nice, wifi free (though you needed to go down to get a piece of paper with 30-minutes password), breakfast included (not bad, bread, Iranian bread, jams, eggs, scrambled eggs, ham, cheese...). 
European bathrooms, if you count it as an advantage. (Ok, maybe not THAT European, but at least had normal toilets, not a hole in the ground)

And the most important thing- the location. You can go by foot to all the amazing places in Esfahan. 
Next to the hotel there's a grocery, and the hotel has a restaurant itself (It wasn't the best though, but if you're hungry it's enough :D).

Dibai house, Esfahan:
We have reserved the hotel with advance (about two weeks), and noticed the owner that we would arrive at early morning (it was about 6 AM, but we waited on the train station a bit before going to the city). We were assured that it is ok and we can call anytime. So we did, but nobody picked up the phone. After struggling to find the hotel for about 30 minutes, we were ringing the door , but nobody has opened . We were wandering around , which was scary. The Dibai House is in really terrible, deserted location, with half of builings around being demolished. Some strange people were hanging out there. 
The owner of the hotel didn't call us back, and we didn't know what to do. I understand if she was asleep or anything, but I guess it is rude since she didn't even call us back.
I do not recommend .

Atlas hotel, Tehran:
If you are used to sleep in 5* hotels, you will not like it I guess. 
We stayed in Atlas twice. We arrived about 7 AM , but the staffs gave us a room anyway, and didn't charge us for an extra night. Most of them speak English very well. Male staffs were extremly friendly and helpful, but women working there seemed like it's their punishment to work there. If possible, always talk to any of male staff.

After we checked out, we still could have left our baggage in the hotel and go out. 

Wifi is free, but works good just in the lobby and the part of hotel with restaurant. 
If possible get the room in this building, since it's not so loud.

Rooms were confortable, not too clean though. They clean it everyday, but not too well I guess. It's an old building and it's visible. 

Breakfast is really basic, included in price. (iranian bread, jams, juice, tea)
