Hotels in Mashhad; a holy stay in the holy city

Any hotel ran by an Iranian family or manager is definitely the one you want to be booking a room in since hospitality runs deep in Iranian’s blood, no matter of the geographical location of the guesthouse or the ethnicity of the Persians in charge of it; Persians are absolutely crazy about hosting guests and showing them a good time. The same thing can be said about the Hotels in Mashhad, the pilgrimage center of Iran, and their managers.

For Persians, showering guests with unending pleasantries, doing the Taarof routine with them one at the time, and putting dozens of plates stuffed with mountains of Rice with multiple pieces of juicy meat at the bottom that altogether break the wrist of whoever is carrying it, and begging them to stay for the night even if they’re total strangers, is the most essential part of the social life. That’s why, when you’re planning on traveling to Mashhad, you can’t find a single tourist who complains about Iranian food or hospitality and they even might warn you that you might have the best time of your life traveling to Mashhad.
