Hostel in Kurdistan

The See You in Kurdistan (SYK) project aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of the Kurdish population, culture, and history by drawing direct connections between the locals and visitors/non-locals. Within the centralized linkages of capitalism, where the dynamics of center and periphery do not allow human interconnections, the multi-layered aspects of the everyday life in Kurdistan is being concealed and rendered as secondary. Even in the tourism industry, most independent travelers in Iran – more than 90% – choose the ‘classic route’, which unsurprisingly passes from the center of Iran. This accumulation of tourists, knowledge, representation, capital, jobs, and infrastructure is paid at the cost of other people’s marginalization from cultural encounters, social benefits, and economic advantages. See You in Kurdistan, hopes to facilitate socio-economic connections in the region through sustainable tourism as an instrument, and to bring Kurdistan back to domestic and international dialogue.

Testimonial

You should come here for the atmosphere and to meet the other international backpackers and the very openminded and interesting young people who run the place. Rooms have an international boho-style, feels just like home. If you are sensitive to light you should bring a sleeping mask etc, as the bedrooms are not very dark. Breakfast is tasty and comfy and you will get help with anything you need as well as introduction to iranian rules and habits. I will definitely return and See You back in Iran!

I highly recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to stay in a special accommodation and learn about the true Iranian culture and current situation.
I wish all the best to all te good people in this hostel 🙂

Matea FA special and inspirational place

At the start of my Iran trip I stayed in the See you in Iran hostel for 2 days by myself. I enjoyed the hostel a lot, especially because of the people working at the hostel! Everyone is very friendly and I learned a lot from many discussions we had about different aspects of the country and its culture.

RachelBest place to start your Iran trip

I've been there twice and if I happen to be in Tehran again will definitely go back to it. The place is great and the stuff even better. I've got lots of info about buses and places to visit and they helped me booking my next accommodations out of Tehran. Warmly recommended.

Eugenio_G694I've been there twice and probably will go back again

Perfect place to start in your iran trip. Lounge room is very cosy and sociable with many outside locals/foreigners coming in to hang out. Tehran becomes much better staying here because of the hosts (particularly Amin and Mustafa), they will recommend you good places to eat and visit. They are also there to help you out with anything like a SIM card or debit card Will be coming back during my trip!

Avid TravellerTehran becomes much better because of the hosts

See you in Iran is so much more than a hostel. While at first overwhelmed by the amount of people working there, you soon come to realize you jumped into a community of people that not only try to make your stay at the hostel your best stay, but for everyone that comes to Iran, in or outside the hostel and Tehran. Everyone was friendly and interested and you are able to have a good laugh with the young and energetic people that work here! Lot of other travellers too and good breakfast.
