Mashhad Hotels & Hostels (18)

Lonely Planet review

Despite the chandeliers and bulging Corinthian columns this high-service option has great-value if sickly-green suites and fifth-floor views of the shrine complex (for now).

Mashhad's inconveniently located top hotel has a shopping mall-sized lobby whose blue-glass pyramid roof mimics the Louvre's. Rooms are very large and well kept but lack any real style. Women can…

The en-suite rooms are very tatty. Bed-only rooms aren't much better. However, there's a remarkable Haram view and manager Abulfaz can manage a little English. Add 50% in peak season. Other cheap…

The lobby has a big modern chandelier and waterfall feature. Rooms are slightly less grandiose but fine value with fully equipped kitchen, choice of toilet-types in some bathrooms and elegant sas…

Sweet little suites in a small, family pension-style hotel off a lively but mostly pedestrianised shopping street.

This 100-room bed-factory wallows in nouveau-riche foibles including aquarium, fountain-grotto, musical elevators and Art Deco-effect coffee shop. Overpriced off-season but good value at peak tim…

The gently trendy 1st-floor lobby is bright and open with highly professional English-speaking staff. Rooms are unfussy business-class affairs with bagged-towels and choice of toilets. Winter dis…

Mashhad's oldest hotel, the Pars occupies a 1935 brick building and its manager lived nine years in England. Rooms have ageing en-suite bathrooms but are just as good as many midrange equivalents…

The main draw of this sprawling, upmarket complex is the full-sized swimming pool, so avoid Saturdays when it's closed. The location, some 8km west of the centre, is awful for the Holy Shrine but…

Relatively spacious rooms with hints of bed canopy have bath-tubs in their slightly outdated bathrooms. In season this is an OK midrange choice with some English spoken.

This hotel with friendly, English-speaking staff gets it right with a restrained elegance that's personable and not over formal. Bathrooms are small but new and sparkling clean. Excellent value f…

Rooms and corridors attempt something of a retro, semi-Art-Deco look and bathrooms are impressive with curtained, seat-showers but there's some wear on the sitting room furniture.

Handy for Kuh Sangi but not the shrine, the Laleh's Eastern European idea of style is so outdated that it's almost an attraction. Bedside TV-control panels are worthy of a Dr No-era James Bond mo…

Showers are rusty and furniture ageing but for the off-season price this is truly remarkable value. Mehdi speaks very limited English and has a gravity-defying grey-bouff haircut.

Bright and somewhat modernist with reception staff in smart suits and corridors edged in pink marble. Apartments sleep three (double-plus-single) and have a big sitting room but comparatively sma…

The friendly multilingual reception is the only real attraction of this overpriced 1970s' throwback with antiseptic corridors and dreadfully dated bathrooms.

Lonely Planet review

Characterless, partly-renovated 1960's place with lugubrious front-desk service, ageing bathrooms and pictures akimbo. Passable value in peak season.

Modest but new rooms have small, fresh showers and squat toilets.
