Located in a grubby but safe area filled with different kinds of car parts shops. There are also many other cheap hotels and hostels nearby but you do not see many backpackers.
The shared toilets and rooms are very clean. Rooms are small.
The legendary Mr. Mousavi in the reception is what makes this hotel worth staying at. Location is crap, price is not the best but the service and knowledge of Mr. Mousavi is better than the five-star hotels I have stayed at.
