How to find budget accommodation in Iran?
I usually stay in hostels or guest houses when travelling, it is much easier to meet people than in hotels and usually cheaper too.
Coming up is a trip through Iran and the usual suspects like hostelworld and Hostelbookers don't even list that country.
I don't actually think that there are proper hostels in Iran, but there must be some budget accommodation used by travelers where people speak some English.
The Lonely Planet used to be a good source, but even they seem to care less about people travelling on a shoestring these days.
Does anybody has any tips on how to find places to stay?
Best Answer
Buy a Lonely Planet guide for Iran. It lists plenty of affordable places in all the major urban centres. There aren't many European-style hostels in Iran, but many of the budget hotels effectively operate like hostels, as these are the places independent budget-minded travellers in Iran flock to.
At most of these, you'll get away with speaking (some) English with the staff, though this won't always be guaranteed.

The huge provider like Booking.com, hostelworld.com and Tripadvisor.com because of sanction cannot have Accommodation Booking in Iran. But in this case to find good and cheap Hotel or Hostel you can use Iranian (local) Booking system. Something like Iran Traveling Center, I know this site since many years ago and I thought they start work from 2001.
