One of the most important parts of planning any vacation is booking the perfect accommodation. You not only want a comfortable, peaceful place to rest your head at night, but also one that makes you feel right at home because let’s face it, it will be your home while you’re away. To that end, we’ve prepared some important points to consider before booking an Irani hotel. And while these tips are practical enough to be applied any time you’re looking to book a hotel anywhere in the world, we think they are especially relevant in making your stay in Iran as pleasant as possible as well as making for a most memorable trip. So let’s dive right into them!
Location and accessibility
You know what they say when looking for a new home- location, location, location! And why should looking for a hotel be any different? After all, you’re going to be anchored there for a few days, so you want it to be in an area that has easy access to the best sites, or at least public transportation, so you can make the most of your time exploring the city. This is especially true of big cities like Tehran where limited public transportation in certain areas and traffic congestion can get in the way of having fun. A centrally-located hotel affords you the luxury of making stops to rest, especially if you’re traveling during the hotter summer months. So be sure to double-check the location and approximate times and distances to the sites you want to see. booking a Iran hotel online is really easy through 1stQuest.

Reading reviews
Service providers love to toot their own horn and use professional photography, but a sure-fire way to get the real scoop on a property is to read reviews from actual guests. And of course, one of the best and most well-known sites to do this is the trusty Trip Advisor, where previous guests share their experience and opinions as well as photos of their stay. While these reviews are certainly valuable in the decision-making process, it’s important to remember that people often review things when they had either an exceptional experience or a really bad one. So sometimes, you’ll have to enlist the help of your gut to make the final choice. you can book Irani hotel online at ultimate ease through 1stQuest.com
Hotel reputation
Sometimes booking is made easy by simply relying on the hotel’s reputation. One of the advantages of chain hotels is that everybody knows their name, and they offer pretty standard services. If you’re unfamiliar with the chain hotels in Iran, these are the names to look out for: international chains such as Novotel and Ibis (which are located just across from Imam Khomeini International Airport) and domestic chains such as Homa, Persian, Pars, and Espinas, which can be found in cities across Iran. While there are many newly established boutique hotels and guest houses, you know that you can rely on and expect a certain standard of service in any one of these chains throughout your stay.

Hotel and in-room amenities
Most hotels around the world offer some pretty typical amenities such as restaurants, coffee shops, and exercise facilities. But a few more important ones that you may want to keep your eye out for in Iran are a safety deposit box, laundry services (depending on the length of your stay), services for disabled guests, and currency exchange. These are some things that might not be available at every Irani hotel; therefore, checking for them while choosing your accommodation can help cut down on some inconveniences while you’re traveling. A complete list of Irani hotels and in-room amenities for each accommodation listed on 1stQuest is available to assist you in the booking.
Free breakfast
Coffee addicts out there could tell you that there’s nothing worse than having to hunt for a cup of joe first thing in the morning, so you might want to make sure that the hotel does, in fact, include breakfast in the price of the room. And while most accommodations do offer complimentary breakfast, it’s not a bad idea to double check this option (or that it doesn’t require an extra fee) before booking.

Parking
Chances are you won’t be driving around yourself, but in case you are, be sure to check that parking is available at the hotel because not all of them have it. Parking in the street can be a hassle, not to mention the fact that it’s generally safer to keep your car in the hotel’s lot if possible. This can also be convenient if you have guests coming to visit you at the hotel. To help make your booking as easy as possible, 1stQuest has listed all of the amenities, including parking, for each Irani hotel, so be sure to check for the availability as well as any extra fees that may be required.

Double check construction
This is something that’s easily overlooked, but the last thing you want to do is book a fabulous hotel only to arrive and realize that there’s some sort of construction either in the hotel itself or nearby. The noise can make for an unpleasant stay, and construction can make for unsightly views. Who wants that when they’re on vacation? So be sure to double check that there’s no construction, or at least nothing that will disturb you during your stay.

Pick-up transfer service
When you arrive in a new city, it can take some time to get oriented and learn your way around. And when you first get there, you’re probably too exhausted from the trip to even deal with how to get to your hotel, let alone bargaining for a fair price. Luckily, 1stQuest offers you a pick-up transfer service from the airport, bus terminal, or train station straight to your hotel. Just select your pick-up and drop-off locations and you can compare options and book online so that the car is waiting for you upon arrival.
