Vila Hotel

Shiraz


Located on noisy Zand Blvd over Haji Baba Restaurant, the budget prices of this basic hotel make it worth a mention. Most rooms have kitchenettes, hard beds, satellite TV and a small bathroom with squat toilet. There's a compact sitting area but no lift and the stairs are steep. Neither breakfast nor wi-fi are included.
