Establishing hostels and
hotels in Iran,
especially in major tourist destinations has an
important place in the policies of
Iran Seven Group. Of special priority are
the accommodation centers which reflect a specific aspect of the region in which
they are founded. It is in the latter vein that the group is proud to
present
Seven Guesthouse in Alamut, a lodging center worthy of the
indelible
fame of Alamut. Seven Traditional Guesthouse is situated in the lovely
Zarabad village in Alamut. Zarabad is the
hometown of the great Mystic Seyyed
Musa Zarabadi who was the great uncle of
Jalal Rashedi Zarabadi, the
founder of
the Seven Group. It'll take you around 30 mins to go to
Alamut Castle of
Assassins from the guesthouse and the owners provide taxi service to the castle
and back. The guesthouse is also very close to the beautiful
Ovan Lake. Before
the foundation of Seven Traditional Guesthouse, thousands of tourists who came
to visit Alamut had to return to Qazvin for the night, since there were no
hotels and hostels nor any guesthouses with booking services in Alamut. The
reason was that hotels and
hostels in Iran are usually established in big cities
and towns and Alamut was deprived of this essential advantage. But now thanks to
the great services of
Alamut Seven Guesthouse, accommodation facilities are
available in Alamut. Thus, Seven Traditional Guesthouse in Alamut became the
first official lodging center in Iran (including hotels, hostels and
guesthouses) founded on the soil of this
mysterious land. It is owned and run by
a lovely young and hospitable couple. The design is very traditional, all timber
mostly made by the commanding artistry of the owner.
Alamut Tours
Iran travel tours are grouped into many categories including sightseeing tours,
desert tours, nature tours, off-road tours and etc.
Alamut tours are similarly
divided into several categories such as
Alamut nature tours and
Alamut off-road
tours. The great thing about Alamut tours is that they can be arranged to be
parts of
Qazvin tours. In this way you can have a rare chance of visiting both
of these amazing places.

foreigners. People can easily find

Alamut Tourist Attractions
You might ask “
How to get to Alamut?”. Well the easiest way to reach
Alamut and
then our guesthouse in Zarabad village is to first take
Qazvin's buses at
Tehran's West Terminal (takes 90 mins), and then at the bus terminal in Qazvin
take
a taxi to Alamut (takes another 90 mins). You have probably heard of
Alamut’s Castle of Assassins while playing the Ubisoft game
Assassins’ Creed or

titular movie. The storyline of the game takes you through many
historical and fictional regions including
the ancient city of Alamut (Also
known as Castle of Hashashins or Alamut Kalesi). The owners of Seven Guesthouse
in Alamut also offer
