Ehsan Traditional Hotel

Last on our list of budget hostels in Kashan is actually not a hostel, but a hotel with a very warm and friendly environment. Ehsan Traditional Hotel can host 50 people at a time and is an ideal mix of value, comfort, and convenience, it offers a charming setting with an array of amenities designed for travelers. This house has been restored, same as Sana Hostel or Green House Hostel, and is Close to Tepe Sialk, a remarkable and popular historical landmark in Kashan. The house is beautiful with a lovely courtyard with a breakfast buffet included in the price of the room. Probably the best feature of this hotel is the fact that some rooms are located at the roof, which means you need to warm up for climbing some stairs before checking-in. However, all rooms come with a free WiFi connection and an AC system, and those that have a bathroom built in them, have all the necessary accessories.
Although its manager and staff do absolutely everything in their power so their guests can experience a wonderful stay, some travelers do complain about the quality of the internet and cleanness of rooms. Despite that, we still see Ehsan Traditional Hotel as one option for those who are traveling to Iran on a short budget.
