Accommodations in Iran

Iran has a reasonable choice of accommodation, from tiny cells in noisy Mosaferkhunehs to luxury rooms in world-class hotels. Hotels are available in most towns and they are classified according to the star system. During the summer months and Nowruz, prices tend to be higher and hotels are busier. Often hotels quote prices in both US dollars and Rials. A Mosaferkhuneh can offer anything from a bed in a noisy, grotty, male-only dorm to a small, simple, private clean room. However they are the best option for those on the tightest budgets.

Along the Caspian Sea coast and in rural resort-villages you can find local, renting out rooms in their homes. Such options include "suits", which are furnished, self-contained apartments or bungalows. Villas are also popular there. Camping is relatively new and is not really a viable option.

There are very few official camping grounds and unless you can make yourself look like a nomad, camping anywhere else will draw unwanted attention from the authorities.
