    I had a delightful time at Anar Guesthouse. The family is very friendly and they will help you with everything you need. Special thanks to the daughters for being easygoing, open minded and a pleasure to talk with. The breakfast is very good and plentiful. The shared room was a bit basic with the mattresses on the ground in a small room. The house is close to the Armenian Quarter, but otherwise far away from the other sights of Esfahan. There's also a cooking class that you can attend, which is expensive, but the food is superb!

    There seemed to be no free accommodation in Esfahan during the holiday season. But this hotel and its owners are very great people. They can help with anything. I'll be very happy to come back here again. There was a family atmosphere.

    We stayed at Anar for 4 nights and had a lovely time. We felt right at home with Maryam and her family and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and authentic place. Important point: Maryam offers Iranian cooking classes. Big highlight!

    The best family experience in Esfahan! We were travelling with our 13 year old daughter, and It's one of our favourite places on our journey in Iran! It's very close to most important city attractions, having all you need to have wonderful and comfortable stay. Starting with big comfy beds, sufficient air con, kitchen with all appliances, washing machine, and beautiful central yard of the house, where you have your perfect breakfast!!! We were supposed to stay for two nights and ended up a night longer! she whole family is extremely nice and spending time with them is so much fun and learning!!! Would not exchange it for anything else! It's been 5 stars experience! Recommend to everyone searching for good, comfy, family like stay!!!! Ps. Mariya is tyke best cook in the whole of Iran! No kidding! They knew her even in Varzaneh, where we've headed right after Edfahan! Me and my daughter took cooking classes with her, and it was amazing! Plus later you'll eat all those traditional Iranian dishes, with the whole family!! Love this place and the family!!!!

    I had stayed at the private room for 2 days there. Anar's family lives on the 1st floor and all guests stay on the 2nd floor, which there is shared bathroom and also kitchen in. But we could completely take a rest without any uncomfortable things. Breakfast was sooooo wonderful. The family serves lots of things for our breakfast such as 5 stars hotel including scramble eggs, bolied eggs, vegetables, bread, cheese and tea ☕. They have a cooking class. ?? I really would like to join but couldn't though. Anar also helped to recommend places we had to visit, and about transportation also. So helpful. The price for staying was reasonable. ? I highly recommend you this place. :)

    We (with family) stayed in their Villa for One Night during visit to Isfahan. Although location of the Villa is elsewhere (30 mins North); however, it was excellent place to stay. Lady who owns this place is honest, house is clean. Although hot water system was not working (when we stayed) but house was excellent as per rent. Recommended.

    We had such a great time during our stay in this guesthouse. Two sisters, ready to help you with everything you need, their hospitality is amazing. The place is in perfect location, rooms are comfortable and you can enjoy also their pretty garden to relax. Thanks a lot for such a traditional experience in Isfahan, we hope to come back again :)

    Wonderful guesthouse! All members of the family really make you feel welcome and they have provided us with good tips for Esfahan and multiple fun evenings. Definitely recommend the cooking class as well. We (made) and ate some of our best dishes in Iran here!

    Anar speaks good English, are helpful and provide good tips for travellers. Her parents are lovely and warm, even though they don't speak much English, they made you feel welcome through their smiles and action. Contactable via whatsapp but sometimes replies can be slow which is understandable as Anar does have a day job. There are only two bathrooms to be shared among the guests, so expect some waiting time in the morning. We arrived pretty late in the evening (6pm+) and it still took quite a while for us to be able to check in into our room. At 15euro per person per night, it is quite pricey considering the room we're given are pretty much mattress on the floor with no space to put your bags. Wouldn't recommend the cooking class advertised here. The class we had was really packed, and was delayed by half an hour without any notification, and is not worth the price.

    I had an incredible time here. Since the moment you arrive they make you feel at home, like a family. Well located in a modern and calm area, close to the Armenian quarter. Mahi and Maryam were always helping me, met their friends, had dinner together... And also joined the persian cooking classes. The parents were nice, friendly and helpful, always asking if everything was OK, and breakfast was awesome. It was a very nice experience to share some days with them :)

    One of our favourite stays in Iran! The place is cute and cosy, especially the yard is very nicely decorated. Our room was big and had AC. We enjoyed the breakfast a lot - beautifully served, big, with various fresh ingredients. One evening we had a chance to drink tea and chat with Mahi until late in the night, and it was a great chance for us to get to know Iran a bit better - through anecdotes and first hand experience and observations from a local. What I really appreciated is that Mahi is very hospitable, but still easy going and relaxed. When she had a moment she was sitting and chatting with us, but when she needed to pick a call or go shopping she would just do so - makes you feel lot better than hosts jumping all the time around you, making you feel a burden. She also gave us some nice tips on where to eat, what to see etc., and answered our questions on whatsapp when we were out in the city and needing advice. Anyways. It was a great stay and I definitely recommend it!

    Very welcoming guesthouse with courtyard to chill out. We went in wintertime and it was nice to hang out in the warm kitchen chatting with Maryam and Mahi. The two sisters who run the accommodation. They are super fun and also great cooks! Breakfast was very tasty, and we decided to do a cooking class with Maryam. We learnt how to make five different traditional recipes (including a dessert) and have a very nice evening sharing the newly made food with the rest of the travellers.

  • 5/5 Jonathan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply wonderful. Friends and I stayed at Maryam's guesthouse for 2 nights and I wish we could have stayed longer. Cozy rooms, a beautiful courtyard, delicious a delicious Iranian breakfast and, most importantly, Maryam and her family made our time at Anar's guesthouse an unforgettable experience. Thanks for everything and hope to be back soon!

  • 5/5 Şehnaz BALCI (. 1 year ago on Google
    This family run guesthouse is really one of best choice in Isfahan. Rooms are clean and large. Large garden with mulberry, fig and flowers good to meet with other travellers. Great breakfast is unbeaten. Owner Maryam also organise cooking class.If you are lucky you can taste her delicous Iranian foods. She is really hospitable and make feel us at home. Ok. A bit away from center but who cares if you pay less than a dollar for taxi/snapp (Uber in Iran). Strongly Recommended for all backpackers, families and solo travellers.

  • 5/5 Blu E. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to stay, really worth recommendation. The hostel is located in a house with a garden, where you can hide from the heat of the city. Rooms and other facilities are very clean and bautifully arranged. Visitors' life is hidden from the street by the wall - no problems with Iranian dresscode. The biggest advantage is the staff. Two sisters, who run the hostel, are very friendly and helpful: provide all the information you need, help to arrange the transport etc. Breakfasts are delicious.

    Amazing place to stay in Isfahan. Anar guesthouse/Anar hostel is where you can feel like home. Don’t hesitate booking this place. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Sara E. 5 years ago on Google
    Its a nice guesthouse with very lovely hosts! Mashi and Maryam help you whereever they can, they call you a snap, give you a lot of advice and the cooking class is highly recommended. Be aware there is only one shower, so sometimes you will have to wait for it. Anyway, very nice place to stay in Isfahan!

    Best guest house in esfahan! Would definitely recommend.. owners are so hospitable, welcoming and friendly. I would give it a 10 star on cleanliness.. very close to the metro station which is a big plus and to the historical bridge. Also close to the Armenian area which has the musical museum and the Vank church. I really enjoyed my stay at anar guest house and would definitely come again

    (Translated by Google) The two owners are very cute. He said that there are two houses made as a guesthouse. I and my friend stayed at the house that my parents were with. Father and mother are very kind. On the day he returned, he helped to book a return bus. As for Father, he was very worried about us. Waiting to send us until late to send us and order a taxi to take us to the tour company's counter. (Original) เจ้าของบ้านสองคนพี่น้องน่ารักมากครับ เค้าบอกว่ามีบ้านสองหลังทำเป็นเกสเฮาส์ ผมกับเพื่อนพักบ้านหลังนึงที่พ่อกับแม่เค้าอยู่ด้วย พ่อกับแม่ใจดีมาก วันกลับมาเค้าช่วยจองรถบัสขากลับให้ ส่วนคุณพ่อดูเป็นห่วงเรามาก รอส่งเราจนดึกเพื่อส่งเราและสั่งแทกซี่ให้พาเราไปเคาท์เตอร์ของบริษัททัวร์ด้วยครับ รักเลยยย

    (Translated by Google) Staying in this place made Isfahan remember the nicest of the entire trip around Iran. Mahshad and her family are przemili, warm people. Mahshad even helped us after leaving her home, she showed us interesting places in Isfahan and told about Iran from the side of the lokalsa. We will remember them very nicely and we will be happy to come back! (Original) Pobyt w tym miejscu sprawił, że Isfahan wspominamy najmilej z całej podróży po Iranie. Mahshad i jej rodzina to przemili, ciepli ludzie. Mahshad pomagała nam nawet po opuszczeniu jej domu, pokazała nam ciekawe miejsca w Isfahanie i opowiedziała o Iranie od strony lokalsa. Będzimy ich bardzo miło wspominać i bardzo chętnie wrócimy!

    Great place, run by a carismatic and funny and witty and helpful pair of sisters. If you wanna get deep inside Isfahan culture, meet wonderful locals aaaaaaaand learn some traditional iranian homecook dishes (with Maryam’s Cooking Class), choose Anar Guesthouse. Love, "Mr. & Mrs. Questions".

    We stayed at The guesthouse for four nights. We really loved it. The room was spacious and clean. There's also a very nice yard which I'm sure is great to hang out in the warmer months. The breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit and vegetable, eggs and many local specialities. We also took part in Maryam's cooking class which was a great learning experience. But what made this stay really special were the interesting conversations we had with Maryam and her husband.

  • 5/5 Manuel V. 5 years ago on Google
    We stayed at Anar guesthouse for one week, we were very warmly welcomed, felt very relaxed and at home the whole time. There is a nice patio and its very quiet. The rooms are nicely decorated, they are clean and have a heating each. The breakfast is very good and rich and varies every day a little bit. Maryam and Mashad are really very aimable, helpful and hospitable. We loved cooking together with them. Whatever you need (information to nice places to visit, guided tours to the desert, etc.) they will organise it for you! The armenian quarter is in walking distance, the touristic places in the city center are easily reached by taxi. We can recommend this unique place and the gracious hosts Maryam and Mashad very much.
