Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Great location. Rooms are clean and quite, good beds, bathroom rather small and breakfast is basic but what makes this place exceptional is the people who run it. Hossein and Mehdi are always ready to help (if you want to), to propose places to see, to guide you around and not only they speak very good english, they also have a very good knowledge about Kashan.

It's a cozy and lovely guest house, yet with traditional Iranian house settings - of course not comparable to those big hotels with gorgeous decoration, but it would for sure give you a taste of local live. When I stayed, I really enjoyed the time with the friendly staff and the hot tea.
Unlike the other hotels I stayed in Iran, both shared and private bathroom are with throne toilet, which is really nice for travelers who are not used to squat one. The rooms, and the bathroom inside, are new and very clean too. Laundry machine is also available. Fast and free wi-fi.
Price for a private room was really cheap compare to the other hotels which I called for price quotation before, yet its location is still close to the sight-seeings, like the bazaar and the traditional houses.
Helpful staff is a also a highlight. Hotel manager speaks excellent English, and the city tour is excellent - If you stay in the guest house, do request one from the hotel manager, who's a also a young tour guide and would give you a lively tour - you will get into the alleys for nice view of this city, and he would tell you interesting facts about the traditional house settings and also the Fin garden. The trip to desert and salt lake was also an excellent one. Both trips are of affordable price.

A familial place that feels like home and probably our most lovely spot along our trip in Iran. Located in a traditional house nested in the old town, all the top sights are a stone thrown away. The place is accomodated with taste, clean and quiet. Great breakfast, evening tea but most of all the smiles and tips of the lovely staff and manager make this place a must.

We tried to find an another guest house and accidentally ended up here, but it was a lucky choice! The staff is particularly attentive and they have truly become our friends... :)
The hotel is close to the city center, so you can easily walk to any interesting place in minutes. You can have a fine traditional lunch there and the breakfast is good too.
There are rooms on two levels with a beautiful inner yard, which has a very nice feeling! We were in a room on the ground floor with a private bathroom and it was simple and clean. After a long day sightseeing you can sit out in the courtyard and have a nice chat with the hosts and other guests, meanwhile they give you a cup of tea or more :) In the evenings we spent hours just chatting with Fashad and Mohammad (the hosts), they are very nice people... :)
They can arrange you some programs too, like go to Abyaneh or go into the Maranjab Desert. I strongly recommend these programs, if you have enough time!
About the prices: - 30 USD / night for a double room @ 2014 october - 5 USD / meal / person - 25 USD a ride to Abyaneh (2 hours there) - 62 USD to Maranjab (by an SUV), Salt lake, dinner at caravanserai and star watching in the middle of the nowhere :) - 50 USD directly to IKA airport
So it is a very nice place to stay for fair prices and the nice company is garanteed! I would recommend it! ^^

This place is truly an average place to stay. The rooms under the stairs smell humid, you could say that the maintenance is not a priority of the owners. Bur the staff are friendly and open to critics. Not the best place you could stay in!

Stayed here for 1 night and met with a very outgoing staff, Farshad. He brought me to a very nice restaurant in Kashan for dinner. During my stay, I was the only guest in the guesthouse and we spent almost the whole night talking over tea. It was a very nice place to stay in and I enjoyed the hospitality of the staffs. Would recommend to anyone coming over to Kashan.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kamalalmok Guest House. The room was clean, traditional and simple. Staff were very friendly and for the price which was around $40US for one night it was perfect.
There was no aircon in our room, which was fine as we travelled in November and the bathroom was clean and adequate. WIFI was ok, better out in the courtyard than in our room. Beds were hard, but beds are hard everywhere in Iran so just get use to it.
Breakfast was simple and good, bread, jam, cheese, egg tea etc. All you really need.
Good location to major points in Kashan.

This place is really an excellent choice for independent travellers because of the "hostel-like" atmosphere created by an attentive and extremely hospitable staff. I enjoyed my time chatting with the other guests and the staff in the courtyard of the house, drinking tea and eating dry figues and oranges. The staff and the owner are also very helpful in helping their guests organizing day-trips to explore the surroundings. The rooms are basic but clean at a fair price. The location is very good, very close to the bazaar and at a walking distance from many interesting sites.

The double room for 25 USD was clean and had a bathroom in it. Breakfast is very basic (bread, jam, tea). Wifi is available. Stay there to sleep, it is a nice option. But book your trips without any help of the hotel staff! They'll charge you way to much and security from the car is very bad (broken seats, broken lights)!! Staff is friendly but unfortunately they just see blinking dollar signs in tourists...

I have mixed feelings about this place, actually the whole country is full of contradictions to me - sometimes really irritating but lovely. Kamalalmolk guest house is definitely a quiet, cosy, cheap, centrally located place to stay in. The rooms are simple but clean and tidy, with air conditioning (on the upper level) and a bathroom. There was a totally relaxed atmosphere about that place, which I liked most, you could chat with other guests if you wished..if not, that was OK too, nobody bothered you or forced you to socialize. We wanted to stay for one night there but then our plans changed and we stayed one more night and it wasn’t a problem to move into another room on the first level. Breakfast was basic but tasty, they make delicious tea! One of the managers speaks excellent English and is very helpful in providing sightseeing information and arranging day-trips but… as an independent traveller I didn’t let him organise the transport which turned out to be a good decision because we took a cheaper taxi to Abyaneh in the street than the guests we met at the guest house using the transport arranged through the hotel. If a hotel manager (anywhere) tells me not to trust travel agencies or taxi drivers in the street and he can arrange everything for me, I start thinking if that’s really true and need to check it out on my own, so I did it. To my surprise the taxi driver found in the street didn’t rip us off although we were warned by the hotel staff it will be the case. I really appreciate friendly and easy-going staff, nice atmosphere but first of all I like being treated in an honest and fair way. The managers should respect other people’s intellect because it is very easy to verify all the information given by them. I recommend that place to stay in but my advice is to look for transport outside the guest house or at least to ask other taxi drivers about their prices, to be honest, it may be a bit complicated because of their poor English but we managed - just used an English-Farsi phrasebook and guidebooks and it wasn’t so bad.
