Tehran Grand Hotel: Iranian 4 star

For many people this will be their first experience of an Iranian hotel as it is just a 30-minute drive from the international airport.
It may seem a little bit disappointing at first, because the hotel's grand name and the fact that it's described as a 4* hotel may have raised your expectations a little too high. However, as you travel around Iran, you soon learn that the Iranian hotel star ratings bear no relationship whatsoever to the international star rating system.
An Iranian 4* is equivalent to a 2* hotel in most other countries. And as a 2* hotel, the Tehran Grand is OK. The 162 rooms have airconditioning and TVs, but they are not spotlessly clean. A fellow guest, who was a microbiologist, noted that the cockroach eggs in the bathroom were still there after a week.
The food in the main restaurant is good, and after travelling around Iran, it seemed quite luxurious, compared to many of the other hotel restaurants I experienced.
Unique Qualities: The best thing about the Tehran Grand is the spectacular views of the city from the upper floor rooms. The main picture on my Tehran introduction was taken from my 6th floor room, the first time I stayed here. The picture with this tip was taken from my 9th floor room on the other side of the hotel.

Very interesting tips of Tehran. I especially like the restaurant with live traditional folk music. Thanks for sharing Ian. | gubbi1 Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:56 UTC
They have great pistachios. We were eating them in Sweden until my fingers started to blead from pealing... | grets Wed Mar 7, 2007 07:04 UTC
