We love it here, you will too!

Coming from a managerial background and being an user experience designer, I have always been passionate in participating in interactive teams to be able to conduct my experience in developing viable contexts. I have tried to use my innovation strategy managing skills in a vast range of businesses from food Industry to leisure to fashion and also local sustainable startups. As the first female hostel founder in Iran, and also my first experience in the travel and hospitality business, I co-founded Denj hostel in Tehran in 2014. Soon after, we started Hi Tehran Hostel as a frontier business in providing trustworthy professional tourism services. As an interest and duty, I take honesty and responsibility very seriously in HI Tehran Hostels and through content providing and strategist of Hi Tehran website, I try to create value for all Iran Travelers.

Despite working in different fields; Agriculture, Civil engineering, Urban planning and management, I’ve been keen on the tourism industry. In addition to that, being an entrepreneur was always my vision and ambition. These agendas brought me to the point of co-founding HI Tehran Hostels.
For me, the passion I feel toward my work which helps me to be recalcitrant through hard days, is way more important than the other aspects. Managing a team as a woman and at the same time as a mother is work through when a combination of spirit and determination takes the reins.

It was always interesting and fascinating for me to travel around Iran and to see the diversity of Iranian people’s culture, customs and also Iran’s nature. As a musician, I was able to satisfy part of this interest by studying and listening to music from various parts of Iran. And now working in Hi Tehran Hostel II has made me more in touch with my country as well as other cultures and countries.

My name is Ashkan. I was born in 1989 in Isfahan. I studied Physics as the undergraduate studies, but I made a shift to Persian Music for the master, which is my biggest passion in life. When I was 12 I started learning Setar (Iranian traditional music instrument) and now it has been 18 years, I am playing. I also have a chance to play and practice in the hostel when I have free time.

The most attractive part of working in Hi Tehran Hostel is meeting people from all over the world, providing them an enjoyable vibe, help them and talk to them about different issues, including culture, history, art, different lifestyles and so on.

My name is Rashed. I’m 29 years old and I’ve been in this field since 2015. I’m from Kurdistan, Sanandaj, so my mother tongue is Kurdish, but I speak Farsi and English too. Hospitality was always a big deal in my family, and I guess I have inherited that from my parents and ancestors. I also have this obsession with doing everything perfectly, which is one of the reasons I got this job.
Watching movies, reading books, watching and playing football, and traveling are my favorite hobbies. I’m always open to good conversations, pretty much about everything.
I’ve never been to any other country, but it’s definitely a goal for me to see the world in the near future.
