What a great and lovely couple to be hosted by! In the end we ended up staying 4 days with Mehi and Mahmoud, we just didn't want to leave. The Friendly Hostel is a home stay for up to 6 guests, breakfast is eaten together in the morning, we also had several other meals together (thanks for such fantastic food!). 3 double rooms in their apartment, shared bathroom and shower. Mahmoud is also a great guide for Persepolis and other activities around Shiraz, we had a lot of fun going towards the mountains. Both of them helped us with everything imaginable, they know the best times to visit places, got some hints on great food places and most important they are just great, hospital people

Staying at Mahmoud and Mehranes place, "Friendly Hostel Shiraz", was one of the best decision of our entire trip. It felt like home, just abroad. Mahmoud do great trips around the area, and Mehrane makes it cozy to stay at the place. I will definitely stay there next time im in Shiraz. I visited Shiraz during the winter of 2018/19.

From the first second you enter the hostel, you feel like home. The two hosts are really hearty people, that make your stay special. I enjoyed the time a lot, having tea and deep conversations in the living room. You experience a lot about Iran and the Iranians and also the history about Persia, the two are guides though. I booked the tour to Persepolis, which was amazing. The room is simple but homely, the bed is comfortable. Breakfast is nice with egg.

It was such a amazing hostel. Couple who runs this hostel is very helpful for everything. They arranged my itinerary perfectly. Furthermore, I couldn't stop laughing in the hostel with the people at all. They are so kind and active. If u want to find the right hostel in Shiraz, Friendly Hostel is best option for u. One more thing, there are several different locations of hostel on maps.me, because they moved few times. So call the hostel first. :)

I really enjoyed staying with Mehi and Mahmoud in Shiraz. They are both really friendly and easy going people. The accommodation is humble, but pretty much everything you need. There's plenty of restaurants around the area and it is walkable distance to the majors sits. Breakfast was nice and enjoyed together in a common area. There are 3 rooms in their apartment that can accommodate up to 6 guests. What really stands out is taking a trip or talking with them. Do go to Persepolis with Mahmoud! It is a strange feeling when you are leaving as it really feels like you are leaving old friends though you have just met. It was fun staying with them!

The Best hostel where we stayed in Iran. Friendly hostel really deserves that name It was the best hostel of our 4 weeks trip in Iran where we stayed. We felt like home after short time because they are so unbelievable warmhearted, kind, lovely, funny and totally nice people. We made some trips with them what was really fun They are super cute couple and make everything that you feel comfortable. You can laugh with them so much, however also serious talks... If you need something they do everything to help you. For me this is the perfect and friendliest hostel and I can recommend them to 1000% They are just great!! Hope I will see you again Missing you

Hosts are extremely nice, kind, interesting and helpful people, if it's all possible in this country :) This lovely couple treated us like family, so we were able to ask about everything, and spend quality, mind-opening time together. If you're shy don't be nervous, they won't be pushy or undiscreet if you prefer to get some rest. Mehrane offered heart-melting hospitality, everyday meals and many activities, we truly recommend guided trip to Persepolis with Mahmoud.

Friendly Hostel made our stay in Shiraz amazing. They make you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. They were very accomodating even allowing us to check-in in the middle of night. They help with recommendations and helped us book the remainder of our trip in Iran. Highly recommended staying here, will be recommending to any of my friends who visit Shiraz

Excellent people, it makes feel like home. It's the perfect place to be part of Iran and to discover the Iranian culture. Both hosts are tour guides and enjoy to share their knowledge. After 4 nights, it has been difficult to leave. I highly recommend.

Mehrane & Mahmoud are both super hospitable, helpful and kind, they are also both professional tour guides so they know all the useful information you need to know in order to have a great stay in Shiraz. They are super open-minded and willing to share about their culture and curious about the guests' cultures. We had a lot of interesting conversations that gave me a deeper understanding of Iran. It was like staying at an old friend's place. I recommend it to anyone who wish to have a real and enriching experience of Shiraz.
