Setareh Hotel

Esfahan


Close proximity to Naqsh-e Jahan (Imam) Sq, professional management, uniformed receptionists and features such as satellite TV and modern bathrooms make this a good-value hotel. The rooftop restaurant is delightful (summer only). The one remaining lotus pillar and spangled doorway makes it easy to find from the street.
