Guest Reviews

• Ludwig (7/5): Für eine Nacht ein guter Start in unsere Radreise - Freundliches Personal, dass uns früher das Zimmer geben konnte und in das Hostel neben dran eingecheckt hat. Zimmer war laut durch den Lärm des Verkehrs.
• Liliia (4/5): - Close to the city center, nice host. Unfortunately it’s not a hostel, it’s a some kind of garage with fully blocked windows in a rooms.
• Polyakov (10/5): - Самый центр!!! Уютное местечко с отличным ремонтом и мангалом на улице. Кондиционер! Уютно как дома!!!
• Gaïane (10/5): - La localisation qui est un grand plus. Idéalement situé dans Erevan. Le confort de la chambreLa disponibilité des hôtes et de l’équipe en générale.
• Shun (9/5): Superb -
• Kerem (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wanda (7/5): correct value for money - Host was kind and communicative. The location is nice, not in the middle of all the buzz but walkable for all city sights if you're prepared to walk 20-30min. If not, metro, busses, taxi are always an option. The main building with dorms seemed even nicer than the annex in which we stayed. We did enjoy the co-living like atmosphere there (3 rooms, 1 kitchen, 2 bathrooms). The room itself had little light and shared toilets were not very clean. It was fine for two nights and value for money ratio seems fair.
• Vlad (8/5): Would stay again! - Nice and cozy hostel. Note for the future guests: the facility may be a bit tricky to find, since it is deep in the yard. Look for the "Retro" graffiti, it tells you where to go :)
• Hanna (10/5): Excellent 👍 - I can say, it was one of the best hostels I have ever seen. Very kind staff, ready to help you at any time, ready to solve all your issues. Clean, warm (even in winter time), everything you need is provided. I am very thankful, that they allowed me to check in earlier than agreed, and I didn't have to wait for 5 hours at the station or somewhere in the city. Before my arrival, they kindly helped me solve the SIM card issue and replied to all my questions about money exchange in the city and so on. The owner was always in touch. Highly recommend this hostel! Nothing
• Rita (7/5): Good - The staff were absolutely fantastic - very friendly and helpful. The area outside was great for having a tea & chatting in the evenings. The locasion is perfect, right next to the Blue mosque, bus stops, and a large supermarket - but in a quiet yard. Thank you!
• Oleg (9/5): Superb -
• Sruti (9/5): Superb -
• Pavlos (10/5): Very cute Armenian style rooms , in a quiet Yerevan downtown neighbourhood. - Located in the downtown of Yerevan but in the same time so peaceful and quiet that you cannot feel it. Host was super helpful and the building is beautifully decorated in the Armenian style. Definitely a value for money.
• Robert (8/5): Very good -
• Rumana (10/5): Lovely stay, I would book again. - Modern and clean, comfortable. Well-located, in walking distance of everything you'd need. Not too far from the metro station. Laundry service was super useful Minor annoyance - the door to the room has a decorative frosted part that let in light at night from the common space.
• Ivanov (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome place. Price-quality ratio - much better than I've expected. Very hospitable staff
• Ekaterina (10/5): Exceptional - Great place and great owner!
• Anastasia (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and clean room in a quite place, very nice host, central location. There are ony 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms, so it doesn't feel like typical hostel :)
• Mehdi (9/5): Overal it was great, the staff were very helpful. The location is outstanding. - the location, staff. I wish it had breakfast. But the place has a stove, frying pan, and other things to cook.
• Francesco (10/5): Exceptional - The host was really helpful and kind. Location is great and silent, very close to city centre. You feel like home It's not really something about the hostel. But be careful once you arrive at Yerevan airport cause taxi driver will ask you for a disproportionate price. Ask in advance to the host!
• Ralf (10/5): Exceptional - + very clean room and shared bathroom + very comfortable , firm bed + Quite central + Karine is a professional host who goes the extra mile to make her guests happy
• Lika (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great, coolest location, nice room, helpful and kind owner, everything was clean and well organized 🌟
• Stella (10/5): best stay in yerevan! - this place was beyond my expectations. i've loved everything about it! the room was very clean and nice, the bed comfortable, the common areas were spotless and so so so nice. the area is very central, quite and safe. the host was very nice and flexible, she was very reactive to all my message and so kind with the check in and check out. i would 100% recommend and come back here :) everything was perfect
• Nace (5/5): Passable - Property manager speaks great English. Location was a bit surprising - between parkings and garage. Its a bit hard to find.
• Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Seb (6/5): Pleasant - Clean, tidy, nice design, friendly, good facilities The booking specifically stated air con in the room which there wasn't, there was only a fan. Also it was July. This should be amended in the room description.
• Polina (9/5): Superb -
• Juan (9/5): Good stay - Very convenient. I was traveling alone and the place is very nice. They have a huge common area with a big table and a very useful kitchen. The room was completely fine and the bed was very comfortable. Toilets were outside the room but it was not an issue since it is 2 toilets for 3 rooms.
• Di (8/5): Pleasant and convinient - Clean, pleasant with good facilities I found the location difficult in a sort of ‘back street’
• Lin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daire (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ritsa (5/5): Passable -
• Riina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Filippo (9/5): Confortable and safe place to stay in Yerevan! - Great location. Confortable, cozy and quiet room with a/c. The bed was big and confortable. Kitchen with all the equipments and space to sit and eat. There are two toilets shared between three rooms, if all the rooms are booked by more than one visitor can get a bit busy, but it was fine during my stay and the spaces were clean. One of the toilets has also a window, which is great. The manager was friendly and helpful. The view from the window of my room was covered by some construction.
• Flashdrive (2/5): Very poor - It's just a standard house and very difficult to find. When I got there, I saw 2 women inside through the glass door (perhaps living there) but simply stared at me without even opening the door, so I thought I went to the wrong location. So I just left, standing on the road. When I called the property owner, it was indeed the hostel so I felt disappointed for just being ignored the first time. In Booking website, there was a mention of included toilet in this superior family room but nothing! I had to use a common washroom. There is not even a mirror inside the room. The owner won't also accept card payment so it was such a hassle as I had no more enough local currency since I would be leaving in just few hours. This 'hostel' has NO RECEPTION to attend to ur needs. I don't even know who are those unfriendly people living there. I wonder how this property received such a nice rating!
• Rizgar (8/5): Very good -
• Parsa (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean 👌
• Kenzaaa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Мария (10/5): Exceptional -
• Harry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Soso (8/5): Very good -
• Jolė (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is good! Good place, there is all kichen equipment, very clean and friendly staff. -
• Daria (5/5): Passable - The place is well-located and reasonably clean, also the staff was friendly and helpful The hostel is located in a basement, so that some rooms have no windows at all. The small window for ventilation exits to the common room, so that one could hear all the conversations there. After we asked to relocate us to a better room for added price. The better room had three tiny windows to an entrance arch - we were still in the basement after all. Overall the place is ok, but you can have so much better for the price!
