Detailed Reviews
Hosts are extremely nice, kind, interesting and helpful people, if it's all possible in this country :) This lovely couple treated us like family, so we were able ask about everything, and spend quality, mind-opening time together. If you're shy don't be nervous, they won't be pushy or undiscreet if you prefer to get some rest. Mehrane offered heart-melting hospitality, everyday meals and many activities, we truly recommend guided trip to Persepolis with Mahmoud.

A small hostel in the home of a very nice couple. The place is nice and comfortable and the hosts are amazing, very kind and hospitable.
I really enjoyed staying with them.
The location is also great, it is close to everything. But be sure to contact them for the right location, the map shows more than one location, because they moved.
Also it is very good option for travellers with a tight budget.

Mehrane and Mahmoud are amazing couple. They did every possibility to make our Iran trip easy and unforgettable. Mehrane is very helpful and smart in tourism sphere. She helped us a lot to book bus tickets, even reserved a hotel for us in other city. Mahmoud is a wonderful guide, he took us to Nasir al-Mulk Mosque and Persepolis-Necropolis tour and it was perfectly organized.
.The location is perfect.
.The rooms and bedding were clean.
.Nothing negative to say, thank you guys :) We loved Shiraz because of you!!!

We felt very welcome in this lovely place in Shiraz. The hosts are amazing and helped us a lot with bus tickets and recommendations of the city. The location of the hostel is good, rooms clean and breakfast is tasty. We joined a tour to Persepolis and Necropolis with Mahmoud and visited the Pink Mosque before as well. We had a really good time and got lots of information on the history part. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!!!

Friendly Hostel really lives up to its name. From the very first day I touched down till the day I left Shiraz, Mehrane and Mahmoud did whatever they can to make me feel comfortable and at home (especially so after my bad experience with some other hostel).
Both Mehrane and Mahmoud actually use the extra rooms in their home as a hostel and that sort of gives a very cosy vibe. Because of the space, there are not many guests coming in at the same time and in a way, you will be quickly acquainted not only with Mehrane and Mahmoud but also with the guests of the hostel. Which was great also because we managed to do Persepolis together with Mahmoud, who is also a part time guide. Both of them also invited us out for dinners and gatherings with their friends during the few days that I stayed with them.
The location is walking distance to the main sights of Shiraz and although it took a while to get to the hostel, it was easily identifiable after which, as the location (now currently along 32 Vesale Shirazi Street) is along a street full of furniture shops and the door has a 'TripAdvisor' sticker outside!
The facilities and sleeping area is adequate and very affordable for its price!
Overall, Friendly Hostel is not just a hostel, but an experience and I am grateful for Mehrane's and Mahmoud's lovely hospitality. Thank you for taking care of me during my few days in Shiraz.

The last time I was in Shiraz was two years ago. That time wie stayed at M&M’s hostel. After this experience it was clear to me that I’m going to stay with these two again if I should be back in Shiraz.
I love how they take care of you, organise everything for you, how fun they are. The apartment itself is located pretty much in the center of the city. Everything is nearby and the Vakil Bazar just 15 minutes by walk.
The rooms are clean and you get a very nice breakfast in the morning.
I hope to see them both for a third time, I would recommend this accommodation to everyone.

It's a small and quiet place with very friendly, cozy and happy atmosphere created by owners, who were very helpful every minute of staying there. Location is close to main Shiraz attractions, one of the owners is a professional guide, who can organize to you a personal english-speaking tour, for example, to Persepolis, Pasargadae and Naqsh-e-Rostam. And they know many languages. All of them, i suppose :) And the price is very very affordable!
Big up to Mahmoud and Mehrane, thanks and hope to see you again!

Thanks to its small size, the hostel's atmosphere is heavily dependent on its owners, who take care of everything. They are both very nice nad helpful people, if you have any problem or need they are flexible enough to help you solve it. During our stay there were some minor problems with water availability, so taking shower sometimes look more time than usual, but such things probably happen all over Shiraz - we treated it as a local peculiarity, not a disturbance.
