This hotel lies amidst the Armenian quarter of Esfahan, which is located just south of the Zayande River. The area is called Jolfa and houses a large Christian Armenian population. The hotel is on the same street as the Cathedral.
The accommodations are not extravagant but for a room and a bath (and pedestal toilet) the cost was US$10. The proprietors of the hotel were extremely kind and quite welcoming. There is an in-house restaurant though I cannot recall exactly what its hours of operation were.
We settled on this hotel, as others closer to the center of the city were either full or charging exorbitant prices for foreigners. Foreigners and Iranians are charged different rates - Iranians might be charged what amounts to US$2 a night while others will be have to pay significantly more.
