5 Things You Should Know Before Booking
Ask about offers & deals
At any time throughout the year, get special offers and discounts when you contact TAP Persia. We will tell you if each accommodation is actually as good as its pictures and reviews and provide the best possible experience.
Check the location
You want to be where the action is. If you want a special hotel but don't know which one to choose, we'll help you decide. Get the hotel closest to the city center, historical attractions. The most exciting option might not always be the most convenient.
Check the cancellation policy
Service standards and cancellation policies differ based on the hotel. TAP Persia can ensure you get the exact hotel you want.
Hotels have high variances
While clean rooms, room service, and English-speaking staff are the standard. However, services such as towels, slippers, TVs in rooms, minibars, and others may be limited.
5 stars aren't always 5 stars
Iranian hotels don't always follow the star rating system when it comes to categorizing their amenities. Be sure to ask for specific amenities before you book.
10 Things You Should Know About Iran Hotels
Boutique hotels are the way to go
What makes the Iran hotel experience unique are the boutique hotels and renovated mansions that have been repurposed into hotels.
Start your day with a Persian breakfast
Almost all accommodations offer a traditional Iranian breakfast in the morning. As a minimum, you can expect a buffet of several types of bread, cheeses, fresh vegetables, jams, and tea.
Wifi is often available
Iran is a well-connected country so hotel wifi is usually pretty decent. If you want steady and fast internet while you are out or in the hotel, consider an Iran SIM card.
TAP Persia hand selects each hotel
The TAP Persia team picks each hotel we put on the site based on price, service quality, and most importantly, our travelers' feedback.
English is very common
Almost all hotel receptions are not only friendly and helpful but speak what our travelers consider decent English. TAP Persia 24/7 Live Assistance can help resolve any issues.
Check-in and check-out
Most hotels have check-in at 2 pm and checkouts at 12 noon. If you've got a flight later in the day, most places will hold your bags or offer a late check out for a small fee.
Passport, please
Your hotel will want to take your passport and sight your visa before letting you stay. If you feel weird without your passport, offer a photocopy and keep the original yourself.
300-year-old renovated buildings
Converted traditional houses offer stained glass windows, central courtyards, 100s of years of history, and architectural beauty. Immerse yourself in the full Persian experience.
Bathroom amenities & etiquette
Most hotels will specify what type of toilet they have in the room. As a general rule, the more touristy places and the fancy hotels will have the European version.
You can't use credit cards or debit cards
You must bring cash in Euros or Dollars, conduct frequent exchanges and waste your time a lot. Get a tourist card and avoid any headaches.
Your Guide to Booking Hotels in Iran
Before traveling to any country, the best is to have a full plan of everything you need. Booking a hotel or accommodation beforehand is a very important step and relieves you from most travel worries. Procedures for booking a hotel in Iran are different from other countries. We will explain it here and you can also follow our Iran travel guide about all the steps you need to take before coming to Iran.
The majority of Iranian hotels are not registered on international platforms. Even if some are listed, they mostly don't accept credit card payments for reservations as debit cards are totally different in Iran. Some hotels don't have a website at all or if they do, it's not user-friendly or translated into English. So, you will have limited options for booking online.
How to Book Iran's Hotels Efficiently?
The best solution is to book via a local agency and travel with peace of mind. At TAP Persia, we book any hotel you require conveniently and accompany you until the last step of your travel. Take a look at our Iran hotel page to become familiar with our suggested hotels.
Pay Attention to the Season
Booking a hotel in high season can be challenging, so make sure to do your reservation in advance. The general high season in Iran is autumn and spring, but for some special areas, high seasons differ. For example, the best time for traveling to south Iran is autumn and winter, while the best time for visiting Kurdistan and Azerbaijan is spring and summer.
Experience Iranian Traditional Houses
As tourism isn't widely developed in Iran, there are many boutique hotels that are popular among travelers. Old Iranian houses have been renovated and turned into traditional guest-houses with fascinating architecture and vibrant gardens. They offer great facilities and you may even savor their authentic atmosphere more than a modern, luxurious hotel.
Required Documents
For a hotel reservation in Iran, you just need a passport and money. In case you're Iranian and traveling with your partner whom you aren't married to, you need a marriage certificate for a hotel double room. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on foreigners in this case.
Payment Challenges
There are different ways of reserving a hotel in Iran, but not all of them are efficient. International platforms don't work due to sanctions. Iran has a different banking system, so paying Iranian organizations by credit cards is not possible in most cases. Contacting hotels directly is another option, however, there's typically no online payment availability and hotels may cancel your reservation later.
Book Efficiently with TAP Persia
Booking through an Iranian agency is a wise decision. Hotels are bound to keep rooms for agencies to maintain their credit. At TAP Persia, we handle your hotel reservation in the most convenient and trustworthy way. You can pay for any of our services by credit card. Most Iranian hotels aren't large and room quality varies. We'll reserve the ideal room based on your preferences.
