Hotels in Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a country in Asia bordered by Pakistan to the east and south, Iran to the west, and Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan to the north. Although, it has been on the wrong side of the media for the last 30 years, Afghanistan has much to offer to travelers brave enough to explore the country's hidden treasures. While most of the country has been classified as a volatile and hostile destination, cities to the north like Kabul are considered reasonably safe for tourists. However, precautions and well-informed travel is advised.

There are many hotels and guesthouses available in major cities across the country. However, it is not guaranteed that they conform to international standards, but they are generally reliable and friendly. One of the very few hotels in Kabul that live up to western and international standards is the Hotel Inter-Continental, which offers 200 air-conditioned rooms, satellite color televisions, a range of local and international restaurants, and swimming pool. There's also the Kabul Serena Hotel, which overlooks the Zarnegar Park and provides 177 luxurious rooms fitted with full-sized bathtubs, mini-bar, and broadband connection.

The best way to explore the capital city of Kabul is through Millie Buses, which operate in and around Kabul and are more comfortable to use than taxis. And when in Kabul you need something that gets you around well because there are many places to explore. The Darul Amun Palace is a great place to start your tour of the city. Make your way to the scenic Babur Gardens or Lake Qargha and Kabul Zoo. Golden Star Hotel and Heetal Plaza Hotel offer deluxe accommodations, while those on a budget can stay at Mustafa Hotel for $30 a night.
