  Khalvat Guest House was warm, spacious and serene. The facilities are neatly and nicely managed by an awesome led by Sia.

The best part of the house was meeting... read more the people behind it. You get fun, interesting and earnest conversations just talking, learning about the Iranian culture and it’s beautiful people. Not only that, these guys take pride in being the voices for veganism - which is extremely admirable considering that core Persian dishes contain meat.

They share and advocate this by offering to prepare homemade vegan Persian meals! Unfortunately we didn’t get the opportunity to try lunch or dinner with them, but we got to have daily breakfasts with them (which came with the stay). If you do stay with them - you HAVE to try their homemade peanut butter. It’s awesome and my friends and I still crave for it since we’ve left.

Shout out to both Sia and Ali for making our stay extra memorable and we hope to see you guys again when we’re back in Iran!

  I loved Khalvat House. It has an amazing vibe, it is fully vegan and in a great location. It is a short walk to Khomeini Square and other major attractions.... read more Being in a busy center it is still quiet, even in a yard you won’t hear street noise. Everyone makes you feel welcome there and food is amazing. Home made Peanut butter, Chocolate butter, hempseed milk, all organic, and place is plastic free. Definitely would love to come back there and spend at least few days just chilling.

  You’ll be surprised when the doorgate opens and you find this beautifull green yard with few enormous trees in front of you at the center of this crowded city.
You... read more can get a break from your crazy busy , rushed life and slow down for a little bit and actually enjoy beeing in the atmosphere and doing nothing!
The hospitality is great ,the rooms are super clean and you can communicate with other guests at the time breakfast is served. My favorite part of the house was howzkhane wich is a colorful room with a tiny pool in the middle and beautiful old wooden windows to the yard, And the good thing was that we could spend time in there at any time of the day!
Highly recommended More

I stayed 4 nights and the whole time I was just admiring the design of the house - it is so nicely designed/furnished...with so many little details. Apart from that it is a super relaxed atmosphere with really nice hosts, that makes one feel like at home.

We had to ask... read more at the coffeeshop next door, great coffee there btw. The owner was kind enough to walk with us and ring the bell. We were then friendly welcomed by Amir. Since we were with a car he suggested to drive the car in the courtyard, where it stayed for the following 2 days. We found the price a bit too expensive as we were assigned the big room with 5 beds, which we didn't need for just 2 persons. In the end we made a deal with the owner Fatima, who was very thrustworthy towards us as we didn't carry enough cash. She trusted us to transfer the agreed amount via our Iranian debet card after we had left. The big room is the only with a private bathroom. The other 4(?) rooms had to share. The beds in the big room were comfortable, the shower had some special instructions. Breakfast is being served, which in one way is luxury, on the other hand you are more or less stuck to the choice you make. With a buffet you could take the sweet stuff and have omelet as well, which was now a bit more difficult. Good thing about the breakfast is that you meet the other guests easily. Amir and...

Amir and Fatima speak fluently English. Location is good with the main square at 1 km walking distance. Although being next to a busy street you don't feel or hear that. Wifi is very strong. More
