Vali's Guesthouse | Hostel

Well, he charged me $20 for a NON-SHARE room and he give me a bed in what would be the living room of the house, between the kitchen and the bathroom.

Right now it is 01:15 and since 21:00 I have already been woken up 3 times by people going to the toilet.
I can not sleep thinking how it will be when in the morning when the wife and the sister will come to the kitchen to prepare the breakfast for everybody in the house.

The Valis family are very nice people, but I don't like them renting the dining room of their house to me as if it were a room NOT SHARED, it's impossible to sleep in a corridor where people are walking up and down.

When I ask him why he charges me $20 when he charges other people $10, he tells me that they were in a shared room and I wasn't, that the room was for me alone.

I feel cheated.

Nice place. More than a guesthouse, you feel like part of the family. Vali knows eveyone and everything around and is eager to help you out with any matter. In case you need motorbike or bicycles spare parts or mechanic, just ask him and you'll see the light!

This is a good option I used the wifi and the facilities for a day for €5, the homestay is really just a big basement room with carpets and about 6 beds, two clean toilet/shower rooms with good water and a washing machine, you can share an evening meal with the family for €5. Mr Vali is very talkative and runs a carpet repair workshop so can help you with carpet buying but not pushy. I had a nice time talking to him and eating on the upstairs terrace. A good budget choice.

To stay in your own car is not really an option at this place. You stay in front of his house (street), if it‘s crowded because of the prayers of the mosque next door, you have to stay in an other street (people loitering around). Since the last comment, the price has doubled - you pay now USD 5 per person, which was a bit too much for what it is. We moved to Ghadir park...

Vali and his wife are very good hosts. Beds are in dormitory but there are double rooms for 25$. Toilets and showers are spotless. Use of thee, facilities, slow limited wifi and washing machine included. Unimog fitted only just in alley. Much noise of big street when sleeping in car.

Sleeping in the car and using the facilities is now 5$ pp. Breakfast 2$. He insists to be payed in $ or only accepts a bad exchange rate. Vali is a nice guy but very self focused and seems a bit greedy, but that may only be the impression of us and another biker staying the night...

We stayed in the car infront of vali's Guesthouse. We paid 3 dollars for facilities.
We highly recommend you to stay here. Vali is an extrem generous and friendly person.
A bed costs 10 dollars. You sleep in a "carped cave" that a also functions as living room. Therefore not too much privacy but a really cousy and relaxed atmosphere.
