Guest Reviews
- Evgeniia (10/5): Гостеприимный уголок Еревана - Отличное месторасположение, тихое место, до центра 1-15 минут. Кругом много кафе,ресторанов, минимаркетов.В отеле всё необходимое есть, белье чистое,есть халат и тапочки. На кухне чай,кофемашина,холодильник,плитка и вся посуда.Хозяин Артак очень радушный и внимательный ко всем запросам, у меня был очень ранний приезд,меня встретили и разместили без проблем. Фото не выставляю, так как все фото на сайте соответствуют действительности.
- ELENA (9/5): - Локация, цена, очень чисто, уютно по домашнему, тихо, очень заботливый хозяин... Всего три комнаты и никто никому не мешает. У меня была комната без окна, но это не повлияло на мой отдых и сон.
- JuliePraga (10/5): - TOP place ! Thanks a lot Artak ♥️ The accommodation is so good value for the money, that it is always fully booked :)
- Xavier (8/5): - Accueil et disponibilité de Artak le propriétaire. Même réveillé à 5h du matin (je ne retrouvais plus l'entrée de la GuestHouse) il a gardé son sourire. Très propre. Chaussons et kimono fournis. On sent le plaisir de recevoir. Merci Très difficile de se repérer et retrouver le bon escalier qui mène au portail. Il faut vraiment prendre des repères.

- Ishkhan (10/5): -
- X (10/5): - 刚好住了大厅旁边那个房间,外面是绿树和院子,非常舒服和安静。
厨房和厕所整洁,空间够大。
对于yerevan的住宿价格来说,性价比不错。 浴室水温不稳定。
厨房没有微波炉。
地址指示不太清晰,而且要走一小段阶梯,不过体力好就不是问题。
- Serhii (10/5): - Приятны и доброжелательный хозяин.
- Andrés (10/5): Un lugar muy acogedor y las personas que lo llevan son encantadoras, te facilitan mucho la estancia. -
- Elena (10/5): Идеальное место для тех, кто хочет жить в центре и не хочет переплачивать за номер. Чисто, удобно, есть все необходимое. - Гостеприимность, продуманность, вежливость!
- Leon (10/5): Unglaublich freundlicher Gastgeber. Schöne Atmosphäre im Garten und Haus. Gemütliches Zimmer. Alles blitzsauber. Habe mi - Extrem gutes Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis. Unglaublich freundlicher Gastgeber. Schöne Atmosphäre im Garten und Haus. Gemütliches Zimmer. Alles blitzsauber. Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Es gibt wenige Treppen zur Unterkunft. Aber kein Problem für jeden gesunden Menschen.
- Mohammad Ke Zo (10/5): - Very nice.
- Nataliia (7/5): - Понравилось: Гостеприимный хозяин, отличное месторасположение, постельное белье, полотенце, одноразовые тапочки, кофе, чай и прочее на кухне. Можно приготовить еду, уйти и прийти, когда удобно. Немного грязная стена у кровати
- Ольга (8/5): -
- SOULE (9/5): - Tout était parfait
- SOULE (10/5): -
- Irina (10/5): - Отличное место, в шаговой доступности музеи, центр города и знаменитые площади Еревана, коньячные заводы с интересными экскурсиями. Буквально за домом исторический район с узкими улочками и старинными домами. Отдельное спасибо хозяину Артаку - внимательный, заботливый. Для своих гостей готов на всё: в два часа ночи заказал мне такси и проводил до машины! В следующий раз -только к нему!
- Резеда (10/5): - Отличное расположение, комфортная обстановка. Все необходимое есть, и даже больше. Гостеприимный хозяин предлагает кофе, чай, стиральную машину помимо проживания. Хорошо владеет русским и английским. Подскажет про экскурсии. Контактный, доброжелательный.
- Blazej (10/5): - I highly recommend it. The host is helpful and incredibly kind. The house is clean and close to the city centre
- Tatiana (8/5): -
- Irina (10/5): - Location and attention
- Matej (10/5): Calm place! - Уютные тихое место. Хорошо спятся. Есть общая кухня! Хозяин очень добрый человек, скоро утро ожидал моё прибытие. Находится рядом со старым городом. Нумер соответствует с фотографии Буквально ничего
- Гурська (10/5): - Неймовірно затишний гостьовий будинок! Відчувається турбота про гостей, просторі номери, м’які халати, дуже порадував безлімітний чай/кава та можливість посидіти у гарному дворику. Кухня зручна, локація — топ. Автобус у нас був пізно, власник запропонував сам залишити речі, щоб ми їх не носили по місту, також він же нас зустрічав і все показав у будинку. Дякуємо, Артак, за теплий прийом!
- Elena (10/5): Все супер! - Очень отзывчивый хозяин, встретил лично с такси, чтобы не заблудилась в поисках дома, все рассказал/показал, помог с багажом. Само расположение дома удачное, находится в центре, но в очень тихом месте, не слышно шум улиц. Можно пользоваться стиральной машиной и кофемашиной бесплатно. Есть свой дворик. В номере было чисто, банные принадлежности включены в стоимость, ванная комната тоже всегда была чистая. В общем это 10/10, советую.
- Elena (10/5): -
- Ivan (10/5): - Хорошая локация в центре города, гостеприимные люди хозяева и полноценная кухня. Кофемашина (!), цветущая вишня за окном
- Ravil (10/5): Гостевой дом, на который стоило бы равняться многим другим. - Заголовок - на основании своих многих прошлых визитов в Ереван.
РАСПОЛОЖЕНИЕ: тихое спокойное место в центре, 5-7 мин пешком от большого круглосуточного супермаркета с фудкортом, разных лавочек и тд, и от автобусной остановки на все направления. Уютный тихий двор с садом, беседками и и проч.
ПЕРСОНАЛ: приветливый и радушный хозяин, приятен в общении(интелегентен,русский язык как родной) , внимателен ко всем мелочам и открыт к пожеланиям гостей, всегда доступен. При моем выезде встречал гостей глубокой ночью.
ОБСТАНОВКА/ОБОРУДОВАНИЕ:на кухне есть практически всё необходимое, включая современную кофе-машину. Большая общая уютная гостиная. В номере(моём) кровать(удобная), стол, стул, разборный шкаф. Горячая вода и отопление. На 3 номера туалет и просторная душевая также с туалетом, Функционирующая стиральная машина. Быстрый устойчивый Wi-Fi.
ЧИСТОТА:свежее постельное бельё, на кухне всегда безупречно прибрано и чисто, также как и в туалете и душевой. При мне отсутствовала микроволновка, забыл спросить о причине, похоже это было временно.
Сам не то чтобы сторонник бытовых излишеств типа настольных светильников или картин на стенах, но возможно кому то этого будет не хватать(не было по кр. мере в моей комнате).
- Andrey (10/5): -
- Zhuravleva (10/5): - Очень приятные и гостеприимные хозяева! Удобное расположение. Почти до всех важных мест - от 5 (как музей Параджанова) до 15 минут пешком. Артак подсказал, где и что лучше посмотреть, где и что выгоднее купить.
Мне не хотелось уезжать! Как будто это место стало моим настоящим домом. Очень спокойно и хорошо там.
Особенно приятно, что можно было сделать себе кофе и постираться.
Кухня тоже - важная часть дома. Можно было себе готовить что-то вкусное, что редко бывает в других гостевых домах. То, что место настолько популярно, что можно в него не попасть второй раз, если ехать в сезон))
- Oksana (10/5): - Чистое белье, полотенца, халат и тапочки. Приветливый хозяин, встретил и проводил ночью в аэропорт!
- Peter (10/5): Very comfortable. - Fab location. There was no bedside lamp.
- Peter (10/5): Very comfortable & good facilities. Host was excellent & very friendly. - Location was great. No bedside lamp.
- Vasilii (10/5): Отличный вариант за свою цену. Лучшее, что встречал в рабочих поездках в Ереван. - Чисто, много места. Тихо. Очень удачное расположение, самый центр, но не на дороге и от того тихо и уютно. Прекрасный хозяин. Работающий хороший интернет, кухня, чай кофе, Два туалета, нет очереди.
- Misha Iremashvili (9/5): -
- Svetlana (10/5): - Гостевой дом прекрасно расположен - рядом рынок, магазины, обменники. Небольшой, хороший номер, теплый, с видом во двор. Очень тихий! Прямо за окном дерево, летом будет просто сказочно! Во дворе столики, есть где посидеть. В доме есть все необходимое - стиральная машина, холодильник, плита, вайфай, посуда, чай, КОФЕ!)) Фото реальные.
Очень чисто, тепло. Замечательный хозяин, внимательный, всегда на связи.
Спасибо огромное за отдых!)

- Mahmoodi (10/5): -
- MARIA (10/5): - Очень понравился Гостеприимный Хозяин дома. Ночью ждал, когда я приеду на такси из аэропорта, встретил, разместил. В номере лежали одноразовые тапочки, халат + полотенца. Постельное белье просто супер. Я просила тихий номер, чтобы была возможность выспаться.
Расположение гостевого дома тоже очень хорошее, до Площади Республики можно дойти пешком за 20 минут. Рядом есть кафе, магазины, обмен валют. Нет.
- Tsimafei (10/5): -
- Dmitri (6/5): -
- Gail (9/5): Handy location, lovely host, clean and quiet place - The host is a nice, helpful guy and the property is kept really clean. Although within walking distance of all city centre sights, it's away from the road, being behind the main street buildings, so is surprisingly peaceful. The other guests staying were also quiet fortunately, so it was easy to sleep.
I think there are 3 bedrooms rented out, spaced out from each other. There's a small kitchen (with tea and coffee), one shower room with sink and toilet, and another separate toilet. Space to sit outside too. Nothing really. My bedroom didn't have a window, but I didn't mind, I was there just to sleep.
- Noah (10/5): Alles super, gerne wieder! - Zentral, WLAN, sauberes Zimmer und Badezimmer, Heizung super, netter Gastgeber
- Laureano (10/5): - the place is near the city center, comfortable and well equiped. The owner is really nice!
- Aleksandr (8/5): Самое сложное было найти дом. Остальное отлично!! - Местоположение, цена, хозяин помещения отличный, чистота. Рядом крупный супермаркет и вкусные кафе/рестораны. Недорого, отдельная комната, общий душ и кухня.
Все было хорошо
- Yusuke Sekine (10/5): エレバンでの長期滞在におススメ - エレバンの旧市街という面白い立地に少し入ったところの宿。歩いて五分ほどで大きなマーケットもあり、滞在にとても便利です。ベッドルームは広くデスクもあり、フルキッチン、エスプレッソマシン、洗濯機も備え付けてあり、長期滞在にも適していると思います。
オーナーは隣に住んでいますので、何かあればWhatsUpですぐに連絡が取れて対応してくれます。
- ARSHAVIR (10/5): -
- belkacem (10/5): - Location Small bed if you are tall
- Paolo (9/5): -
- Marat (10/5): - Марат из Эстонии, оставляю отзыв с запозданием, был там в конце июня. Замечательный хозяин, оставил весьма приятное впечатление. Расположение очень близко к Площади Республики, что было удобно для меня. Было всё, что нужно для комфортного пребывания. Вместительная кровать и комната с высоким потолком, приятный дворик, где можно посидеть.
- Anastasiia (9/5): -
- Darya (10/5): There is a cosy atmosphere in the hotel! The host is very kind and ready to help whenever needed - A perfect location! It's just a 10-minute walk to Republic Square, in the heart of Yerevan. There is also a well-equipped kitchen, so it's possible to prepare your own meals.
- seokgi (7/5): - 위치도 좋고 가격도 저렴해서 좋음 친절하시고 공간도 넓어서 지냐기 좋았습니다! 에어컨이 없고 선풍기 한대 있는데 더워 죽을뻔했어요...
- Baudoin (10/5): - L’accueil est incroyable, Artak est bienveillant et prêt à nous aider. La Guesthouse est très bien près du centre et en plus c’est très calme. C’est le meilleur endroit où séjourner à Erevan, le rapport qualité prix est excellent
- Hans (10/5): -
- Fairuza (8/5): Предложения по улучшению озвучила хозяину жилья - Понравилось удачное расположение, недалеко от центра.
Дружелюбное отзывчивое отношение хозяина жилья , готов был придти на помощь в любое время.
За это большое спасибо Артаку.
Завтрак хороший.
Есть стиральная машина , кухонная зона. Не было окон и зеркала , кондиционера , душевой в комнате.
Душевая одна на всех сьемщиков жилья.Но был вентилятор.
Территория не особо ухоженная.
- Siu (9/5): Superb - Good location It would be good if there is air con in the room
- Tyson (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lidiia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vladislav (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexander (8/5): Very good -
- Claire (8/5): I am happy to recommend House 56 - Artak, the host, did his best to make me feel at home. Nice touches: access to tea/coffee, bathrobe and slippers! Also, Artak sent me photos and a map to help find the place. The room was a little bare, but that seems normal here.
- Jorge (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent place, very kind and helpful host, very close to city centre and very quiet
- Nick (10/5): Exceptional - Good location. Very accommodating and helpful host. He has a washing machine and a well equipped kitchen. Nice yard with a hammock. Super relaxing vibe.
Plenty of restaurants nearby. 20/25 mins away from the airport. Looked like there was parking available on the street. Slightly dated furniture but everything was comfortable.
Although my room did not have a window, the ventilation was more than sufficient.
- Niels (9/5): I recommend this place. Nice host, big room. Good value for centrally located accommodation. - Great staff, big room. Walking distance to the center, also at night.
Felt safe and comfortable. A bit confusing to find the place and no light at front door when arriving at night.
- Filippo (8/5): Great option for travelers in Yerevan - Very good experience: host super nice and helpful also with checkout time
Location is good (10mins from most center places) and actually better if driving a car.
Room and shared bathroom very clean. The room and kitchen has no windows, and in general a bit “oldish” …but great value for money and for a traveler/backpacker experience
- Yuka (8/5): Great value - Very convenient location, in a back alley so it was very quiet at night. The owner is very considerate. When I asked him to call a taxi for an early morning trip, he waited for more than 30 minutes before my departure and arranged a car with a clear price. The facilities are simple and efficient. I was also able to use the washing machine freely. The low price is also attractive. If you have any complaints, please pay more and go to another accommodation! If you ask the owner, they will sort it out.
- Hardeep (10/5): It was a very nice and peaceful stay. - The host is a v nice , kind and and gentleman. He help us like family. Everything was amazing.thank you so much.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Nothing
- Tobias (10/5): Exceptional -
- Виктория (3/5): I regret staying at this place - The location is fine. The host is nice and helpful. I was misled by the positive reviews, which have nothing to do with reality. The place did not meet my expectations at all. The locking system is poor, and as a solo female traveler, I never felt safe.
My room had a door with glass inserts leading to another room, so whenever someone turned on the light there, my room was also lit up. I woke up multiple times during the night—first because someone checked in at 3 AM, then because they spoke loudly, and there was no soundproofing between the rooms.
The double bed consisted of two separate mattresses, making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. The bathroom looked poorly maintained, and the entire place was in desperate need of cleaning and renovation.
After this bad experience, I went back to check the reviews more thoroughly and saw that people had been complaining about the same issues since 2023! Clearly, nothing has changed.
- Oleh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabi (9/5): Lovely host, good internet, really nice backyard garden. - I really enjoyed my stay at House 26! The little backyard garden invites to have relaxing talks or, in the early morning hours, to drink one's coffee in peace and quiet. THe host Artak, is very friendly and helpful! The kitchen has a huge fridge, all cooking facilities and even a coffee machine. The mattress was comfy, the fan quiet. I would visit again, for sure. There is nothing to complain about the house. One must keep in mind though that one of the main traffic roads runs parallel to Leo Street and that you are in the very middle of the city center once you turn around the corner... and the air is quite thick there. Yet, once back home at Leo Street it is quiet and the air is good again.
- Liam (9/5): Excellent - ✅ Really kind and hospitable owners.
✅ great location
✅ really clean facilities
✅ excellent customer service 🙏🏻 the mattress was very uncomfortable and you could feel the springs 😬
- Hans-ulrich (10/5): The host is fantastic, and the property is beautiful. The room and facilities are great. I will be back! - The host is fantastic, and the property is beautiful. The room and facilities are great. I will be back!
- Sophia (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and friendly guest house in a good location.
- Давид (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely everything! The owner did everything to make us feel comfortable in their guest house. The garden feels like a small heaven in the middle of a packed city.
- Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vaghela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexey (7/5): Good -
- Aleksandr (9/5): Superb - Very kind-hearted, hospitable owner of hotel. Atmosphere of old city outside and modern inside. Kitchen and washing machine in public area. Not enough pointers to find required way at first time
- Aronb (8/5): Very good - Nice house in town, comfy bed
- Azizi (8/5): Very good -
- Marco (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marco (10/5): Exceptional -
- Naji (8/5): Very good - house 56 felt like home to me, house is big and with overall good amenities, location is quiet a bit far from the main street which is good and actually midway between republic square and the cascades. Staff is friendly and Artak was helpful. The bed is a bit on the rougher side though but overall very good stay.
- Zeno (9/5): nice basic stay in Yerevan - very friendly owner and very flexible, was always available and very helpful house was clean, but details could have been cleaner
- Jeong (10/5): Great hotel! - Good everything is nice Nothing
- Галина (10/5): Warm welcome, calm area, wonderful location - Thanks to Artak, the owner, my trip was great, he assisted me always and immediately answered any questions I had. Having connecting flight to Milano, I was lucky to feel genuine Armenian family hospitality, it’s definitely exact place you have to choose. Location is wonderful, it took about 15 minutes driving from airport, it’s few minutes of walking distance from the blue mosque.
I had a towels, slippers, bathrobe, wonderful Wi-Fi and breakfast included! I mean, this is incredible with this price!
- Salima (10/5): Feels like home - Very clean and tidy place to stay. I enjoyed the stay a lot. Owner of the place is very helpful, friendly and hospitable. He was always ready to help and guide. The location is the best as well. Everything is just one step away, you won’t need to spend extra money for transportation. Enjoy your evening walks to the square, cascade, north prospect and local market.
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, the kindness of the host, the atmosphere, the house, the location. I stayed in different places of Yerevan and this is by far the nicest place to stay.
- Sharma (8/5): Very good -
- Wilde (3/5): Poor -
- Elizaveta (7/5): Good - Very friendly owner and the atmosphere overall The bathroom could use an update — one of the toilets didn't work and another didn't have a lock
- Tatiana (9/5): We want to back and stay here. -
- .dt (2/5): Bigoted folks and money grabbing business vibe - After 9 years of booking properties this is the only bad review I think I’ve ever written.
People should be relastic when reviewing a property,
otherwise guests are easily mislead when choosing a fascility that suits their needs and budgets.
The host offering wine& biscuits to entice good review is a plus but not a reason to jot up
Fictious feedbacks that's nothing to do with stay quality.
He could improve , say -Wi-Fi ?
Connection is weak -especially in the evening an onwards.
Poor shower pressure and hot water is scarce. Had to run the sink in the bathroom to get hot water in shower and then i had only 5 seconds before it turned into boiling hot then cold.
The whole place felt grubby. Needs a good clean.Could do with floor mat in the bathroom and a cleaning mop after bathing .
The place cannot be locked and therefore you do not feel safe.
Kitchen and toilet smelt of sewage constantly.Air freshener helpe but little .
Only 2 spoons available,forks and chopsticks
dust and cobwebs everywhere i saw a big one on kitchen ceiling
No window net mosquitoes and you have to keep it open as there's no aircon nor a fan
Noisy as there's some sort of ongoing construction work nearby and kids playing in the courtyard directly facing the rooms.
No night lamps of some sort
Host jobless and does nothing all day but intrusion lives on site.You're not left to your privacy/ liberty
what's most inexcusable the total disregard for English speaking tourists. As a paying guest I don't have to be so forward in asking for things and I don't have to put up with some guests vulgar pand inconsiderate behavior :;like the old couple who wandered about -even in the courtyard in their underwear.the woman was gracious enough to wrapp a towel though.
The host is full of B.S.deception and lies.When asked to have a talk with the naked man he lied that he did.
Overall i wouldn't recommend this place to any English speaking tourist nor do I do the...
- Jaunzeme (10/5): Exceptional -
- Святослав (8/5): Extremely good option for budget travel. - Friendly owner, very cheap, shower, personal room, room can be locked, very near to the centre. The room had slightly damaged walls, the bed was a little too rough but I'm used to that.
- Mattijs (6/5): Not perfect, good location, good value - Location is pretty good - at the edge of the city center, and also at the edge of the old Kond neighborhood.
This is essentially a small hotel with a few private rooms (3 I think), a shared toilet, a shared toilet/shower and a kitchen everybody can use, with a big fridge to store food, etc. It is not a room in somebody's home. All clean.
Quiet location.
The owner was waiting for me when I arrived, so he could give me the key. The booking.com description says that the room has "garden views". However, my room didn't have windows at all. I think the other 2 do have windows.
I expected a double bed. However, I got two single beds put together, with 2x single sheets, etc.
The doors to the rooms have frosted glass panels (you can't see through them, but light passes through). Also, in my room, there was a (locked) door to the another room with such panels. As a result, when the light is on in the hallway, your room is all lit up. Same when your neighbors have the light on (and vice versa). Plus you hear everything they are saying in the other room.
The owner does not live on site. He has to meet you to give you the key. Also, the place is impossible to find if you don't know where it is, so he has to show you. Alternatively ask him to tell you how to find it.
I think he waits for all his guests to arrive. It would be good to tell him when you expect to arrive, to make it easier for him to meet you. Having an Armenian SIM in your phone so you can call him would also be great. The property is right behind the building at number 52, which is easy to find.
- Oliver (8/5): good would recommend - great location and friendly owner. The wifi was very good Bit hard to find. The mattress on the bed was quite uncomfortable
- Kevin (8/5): Safe, comfortable (but basic), and affordable accommodation in central Yerevan - Great location: very central, but also quiet and removed from the main street.
Friendly host: despite our language barrier, he made a real effort to help me with a couple of travel-related issues I had in Armenia.
Good facilities: the house has a fully-equipped kitchen, shower, two toilets, washing machine, and living room. If you plan to spend any significant time cooking etc., this is a fantastic and affordable option. Being able to see and hear my neighbours through the door that adjoins to the next room made me conscious about my own behaviour inside the house --- having the light switched on or pacing around the room when they were asleep, for example. Not a serious issue, as the other guests were rather respectful of this quirk in the building, too.
