Location was perfect. It was just a few steps from the Republic Square. The people from the reception, restaurants, and housekeeping were all warm and friendly. Breakfast had variety. ♥️ The rooms were small and a little old but it's manageable.

Took a 1 month membership for the Congress hotel pool during 2021 and it was a tough and unpleasant experience because of the reasons below. 1. Some of hotel staff members tried to put a pressure on me and told that the swimming pool area is not a computer work place. In general during my whole visit many employers never smiled, never were friendly and it was always an impression they were doing a favor to me. I tried my 2nd visit to the pool during same year September and it was amazing when they saw me their face was as cold as ice and they didn't say hi to me. I was very disappointed and felt that I am not welcomed there. 2. Waitress Tamara was always creating problems for me so whenever I wanted to take an order she was always in a hurry, no time for me, very rude and at some point she started even not to look at my face and totally ignored me so actually when I was there I couldn't make any order with her it was not possible. Till now during my 2 nd visit she behaves the same I saw her today and again cold expression of her face she even didn't say hi :-( ***Great guys of this hotel are Razmik(sommelier), Mkhitar and Raffik(bartenders) Tatevik(mice manager)*** and I am adding 1 star because of this nice people who were always smiling, helpful and respectful to me.

Dear Tigran, Thank you for the review. First of all, thank you for the nice words about Razmik, Mkhitar, Raffik and Tatevik. They were happy to see the positive feedback from you. We are sorry, that you have faced some problems which made you disappointed. But let us comment all the cases in turn: We are always positioning us as a hotel where people can both relax and work, and during many years we had many pool members working at the pool area and relaxing at the same time. our staff is always ready to do their best to help our guests, so we can't imagine even a situation where our staff members put a pressure. Also want to mention that we always pay attention to the first impression on our guests, that's why being polite and always be welcoming to our guests is our priority. All our guests are welcomed and we will always be happy to see them at us as a members of our big family. Regarding our F&B Staff, want to mention that Tamara is one of our best waitresses who always satisfy and make amazed our guests with her professional service and always polite approach. We are sorry again for the unpleasant assumptions you've had, but complaints like the mentioned ones are really surprising for us. Respectfully, Liliya Margaryan/Marketing Coordinator

As usual we wanted to enjoy a swimming pool during our stay and a nice bar and restaurant. We had been surprised by the hospitality of this hotel part of best western group. The swimming pool bar restaurant team spent 99% of their time behind the bar laughing enjoying drinking and eating instead of proposing or serving the customers. You have to request by all type of gestures the help of a waiter. Then finally when a waiter comes to take your order it's by being very very very rude. And all this to finally get a food without taste and cold! Don't take side dishes they will be served 20 min before the main dish… And please do not make any comment or you will have the waiter yelling at you and even raising a hand on you! YES my physical integrity had been abused by one the waiter. And all the staff were laughing. Thanks god the food and beverage manager intervention helped but alone he can't do a lot. Last but not least, the WC are as clean as an a fast food restaurant one…

Its definitely not a lack of the number of service personnel why guests are being ignored at the pool restaurant. They simply don't care. I recommend every guest not to eat or drink anything there aß they dont deserve it.

We had 3 rooms booked, out of which one from AC was not working , one room carpet was smelling, other rooms the toilet was bad, it's not a standard of 4star, I requested to change my room and no one bothered to do so even after I requesting, only the room which AC was not working was changed and that too after arguing. Bas experience and recommend no one to stay here. Rooms are like bathroom size as well. You ll suffocate in it.

We just used the outdoor pool and got food of the hotel's poolside. We are expats with a worlwide experience over the past 30 years. Verdict? Close to 30usd per adult, including towels, with little choice for choosing your spot around the pool. Swimming pool is relatively small. Food is well below what you would expect. For instance you will pay nearly 10usd for two taco shells filled with potatoes mostly, very little meat, hardly spiced, no garnish whatsoever. Just want fries? You got a 15 minutes wait again, with a meager serving. Want 3 sodas with 3 glasses and ice? You will get 3 sodas cans with two glasses after 10 mins and a kind reminder to the waitresses, another 1 reminder and another 10 minutes for the last glass. Want a smile? You got to wait for that and your 30 usd entry fee plus another 15 for food won' t get it... Conclusion ? We guessed that their market is made of people like us stupid enough to pay that much for so little!

A very poor experience, despite the many good reviews on TA. The rooms were outdated. Very poor decor, dirty (rusty) faucets, thin bath towels with tatettres ends. Poor toiletries. NO INTERNET for the 2 days I stayed. Staff didn't know what to do. Breakfast was poor in general though many choices. Coffee Machine at breakfast didn't work. For this price I stayed at another hotel close by which was FAR SUPERIOR than this one. I would never stay here again.

The hotel was overall nice (pool and gym available) but the service was a bit slow and some of the staff were not very nice. The issue with the breakfast is that it closes at 10am which is early if you wanna sleep in. We also had an incident where we broke a glass in the room and they charged us for it 6$ (2700dram). We found it unfair since we already paid a decent amount for the stay. (It's not about the amount of money it's the idea). Overall it was a nice stay but some things can be improved.

Dear robertobE9238GQ, Greetings from BWP Congress Hotel, from Yerevan. First of all want to thank you for sharing with us your experience. Regarding the breakfast hours, kindly want to inform you that our breakfast hours were rescheduled. About the charge for broken glass, kindly want to inform you that this is a hotel policy, according to which for damaged hotel items guests should do an extra payment. However we are very sorry that these details made your stay at us not comfortable. Hope that despite of all we will have another chance to welcome you at us and completely change your bad experience into a positive one. Best Regards, Liliya Margaryan/Marketing Coordinator

It's summer so their outdoor pool and bar are amazing! Great location as it is walking distance to almost everywhere in the city center. The staff are all very nice, approachable and helpful. The breakfast is good but not for long stays as it's the same everyday. The window in our room looks out into the lovely parks nearby. It's a standard 4* hotel, not luxurious but generally adequate. Although it has no dedicated business center, the lobby has a generous sitting area linked to the bar and the restaurant.

The location, the interior deco and the comfortable mattress are the main advantages. The breakfast buffet is acceptable when considering what is usually on offer in Yerevan hotels. The room is very quiet during the day and evening because the double glazing is well done. Alas, at night until the morning the ventilation/heating system on the roof operates so the bathroom ceiling which is directly beneath and open to it exerts noise which defeats the purpose of having the double glazed windows. After the first night I asked the reception to shift me to the 5th floor (only the two top floors are operational during the winter) in hope the disturbance is reduced and because I needed to extend my stay in Yerevan by a week beyond my booking dates. They said rooms are available but they will shift me only if I commit to extra nights beyond those I had alreasy paid for during my initial booking. I found this a mild form of blackmail that is completely unnecessary. As the hotel had low occupancy anyway because of the pandemic to shift me on the second day would not cost them anything but experience taught me that a stubborn and self defeating approach is the norm rather than the exception in this neck of the woods which is why I chose to leave.

Stay there for 2 nights on November. Very kind and helpful staff. We get check in 2 hours before normal check-in time. Breakfast is more than a good for the same category hotels in Erevan. Rooms little bit looking for refurbished but enough comfortable

The location of the hotel is great and staff are kind but I disliked some points, first of all when we arrived at the entrance there was no one to took our luggages and also when we got our room, we took our luggage to our rooms by ourselves. Another one is a sound of water from piping system that makes it so noisy that we couldn't sleep.

The location of the hotel is great. The stuff is great too, very kind and professional. During warm seasons I suggest to use the rooms that give to park and not to the pool of the hotel. Otherwise the room would be more then warm, and the adjusted air condition won't be enough. So the rooms that have a window to the hotel entrance side are better. My only dislike is that the rooms have to be renewed. The TV was shut down before checking out time around 9:30 or 10 am. I am not really encouraged to use the hotel again unless the rooms are renewed. Cause for the price I paid I could have stayed at Tufenkian Yerevan.

Travelling with 26 people around Armenia visiting the Armenian Church and country we stayed at the Congress 4 nights. The location is brilliant a short walk to the main square, striking distance to the Ararat Brandy museum and parks front and back of the hotel. We only did breakfast as we ate our other meals out, but it was certainly good enough to make me want to eat in!! The pool was a treat, the saunas were welcome and the bar was well stocked. A great value well equipped clean Best Western Hotel.

Amazing and helpful staff I would say. Great location and many more. But very poor air conditioning and cooling system in the room. We were not able to have a good night sleep due to the heat and of course the noise coming from the street. During the day, kept sweating while getting ready for a big occasion which was not a good feeling! So in case of booking in summer think twice and try to get the rooms not facing the street. Thanks to all the nice and welcoming staff of the hotel, but overall it was not a good experience!

We arrived today and liked the hotel a lot. Good location. But I went in the evening with my kid to the pool. And once he was in it I was told that it was closed. That's fine with me and he left the pool immediately. But 5 guys standing next to me while I was just sitting atbthe pool with my feet in the water insisted that I remove the feet or there would be a penalty to pay. Are we back in the 80s soviet times?

Perfect location in Yerevan, nice breakfast staff (Nairi), varied breakfast selection (mushrooms very strangely presented; but basterma, cherries, watermelon and strawberries very tasty), fun pool area (but unfriendly + unprofessional +sour-faced staff, blaring music to the extent that the speaker goes fuzzy and then radio silence for ages), beautifully renovated lobby and restaurant, rooms are dated and not very clean (carpet not hoovered, dirt behind sink, hairs on mattress cover), shower gel stinks, no signage from the lift to the pool (long maze with no signs, ended up guessing the way!).

The hotel provides better comfort and service than one would expect from the Best Western chain. It is not very big (about 125 rooms), and faces the newly-build boulevard south of the Republic square, which is very popular for late-evening gatherings and walks. Rooms facing the ice green area around the pool in the backyard are quieter. Tasty breakfast with Armenian specialties.

The location is perfect to see downtown Yerevan. The breakfast although different from an American style one was very good, although sometimes they ran out of things and had to wait for the food to be resupplied. One day there was no pressure for the water in the shower and the water was cold. The TV did not get all of the stations that they said it did and some were only in black and white, but should have been in color.

CongressMarketing, Guest Relations Manager at Best Western Plus Congress Hotel, responded to this review
Dear Guest, Thank you a bunch for staying with us and for taking the time to leave your valuable feedback. We are thrilled to hear that our location contributed in making your experience comfortable and enjoyable. We strive to provide memorable moments through our warm hospitality and comfortable accommodations, because we understand that the small details are what truly make a difference in the Guest experience. Concerning the water pressure and its temperature, please, be kindly informed that we have fixed that issue as soon as it appeared. What comes to the TV stations, I would like to kindly note that because of some technical issues which we have recently discovered, the TV doesn't get all the stations. At this moment we are working on the case which will be fixed shortly. We take these concerns very seriously, and your comments have been shared with our management team. It is our hope you will reconsider and give us the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Respectfully, Lilit Danielyan Guest Relations & Quality Manager Best Western Plus Congress Hotel

1-Location is perfect in the middle of the city 5/5 2-Lobby and reception are nice (refurbished) 5/5 3-Rooms and toilets 2/5 (outdated and needs serious refurbishment) 4-Breakfast and food is good 4/5 5-Pool and amenities are good 4/5 We had 3 rooms at the hotel.. 1-Several issues were reported with the room 523 (tv not working-only one armenian channel,main door not well closing, toilet door no key) 2- On the second day breakfast was very crowded (not enough food served) and the staff weren't able to cope up with the number of guests (credits to be given to the 2 ladies working at the breakfast). The positive thing is that Lilit the Quality manager was always available to listen to the guests concerns and she tried her best to help.. meanwhile hotel management needs to take serious action on 1-the understaffing of the breakfast (specially when they know that the hotel is over booked on events like the queen's birthday) and 2-the refurbishment of the rooms (we left after 7 nights while the tv and the door are still not working.

Location of the hotel is nearly superb, very very close to the city center (Republic Square), next to the nice park with the beautiful fountains. It is about 15 minutes ride from the airport by taxi (not during the rush hour), price of the ride is around 7 USD with Yandex (Russian version of Uber). My room (6th floor) was really spacious,and clean, as well as everything else in the hotel which is in my opinion extremely clean. Room itself is not state of the art room, but it is really really comfortable and cosy. Hotel lobby and restaurant and wine bar are for example very modern (recently redecorated). My room was really quiet so i had opportunity for a good night sleep. Breakfast was very good, it's not the best or the richest breakfast I ever tried, but I think that definitely everyone can find something for themselves. Beautiful outdoor heated pool. Staff was really friendly and 24 hour hours a day present at the reception without waiting.. Interesting additional service: you have possibility to order at the reception early breakfast to go package on day of your leave, which is really useful because most of the flight from Armenia to Europe leave early morning (4-6 am). Mini bar and room service prices more than reasonable. Complimentary bottle of water (0,5 l) every day. Would definitely recommend it.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days, traveling in business. The facilities are new after renovation, hotel offers open pool and a lot of extra services free of charge. There is 24 hrs wine shop, where you can get very good local wines. We tasted 4 kinds and found all of them drinkable. The location is just perfect, we recommend taking a room with a balcony view, which could make your stay in Yerevan even better. One very important advantage is service, which is superior, even comparing to overall high service standards in Yerevan. This is exactly we put the highest possible score for this hotel and can recommend it.

My family traveled to Yerevan for the first time and had a pleasant stay at the Best Western Congress Hotel. They said and I quote, "The staff was very kind and helpful, even willingly went above and beyond to help us whenever we needed, gave great tips and ideas for the travel". They highly recommend the hotel to all travelers who are looking for a stay close to the Republic Square, affordable rates and clean space.

Our 7 night stay at Best Western Congress Hotel in Yerevan (has a lovely ambience) was made pleasant and seamless by the staff. Special mention to Sevak (receptionist), Mary (Restaurant Incharge), Sargis (concierge) for the kind and friendly service - do ask for them if you need any guidance or assistance. The breakfast was very filling and delicious; the room was spacious, cozy and very clean; necessary supplies were provided everyday and in more quantities to ensure a seamless experience at the hotel. The house keeping staff were very accomodating too. They made us feel safe and ensured we did not miss home. Location wise it was located at the heart of the city giving easy access to most of the tourist areas as well as for shopping. Highly recommend to all families who are traveling to Yerevan.

Receptionists work slow and looks non-friendly. We arrived @ 8am but check in is @ 2pm, so we waited so we won't pay extra. @ 1:50pm, we went back to the lobby hoping our room is ready, but we have to wait another 30mins before they let us in. It was disappointing. Breakfast was ok, more english/continental. Gym was spacious and unmanned. Pool was closed. Staff speaks little english.

I stayed at the BW Congress for 2 nights last week. The location is good- a 10 minute walk from the centre of Yerevan, close to Republic Square and just 20 mins drive from the Airport. Check in was quick and easy and the receptionist was pleasant. My 3rd floor room was spotlessly clean, and spacious,with plenty of storage space and a large desk. There was a limited minibar and a kettle but unfortunately just tea and no coffee provided. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, and collapsed during my second night! The ensuite was clean but extremely dated, with a stained toilet bowl and decrepid shower. The bar area in the lobby is very well designed and is a lovely place to spend some time and watch the world go by. They have a great selection of drinks, and the prices were very reasonable. Some of the staff were lovely, but one or two were rather miserable and uninterested. All in all a decent stay, and will priced, but could do with a little bit of work to bring it up to date!

We arrived on Saturday (me from Vienna and my Friend from Iran) and I was really hoping for a good and easy stay but we had to handle a lot of real bad moments starting with a bad bed, some confused stuff, some rude comments and unprofessional treatment - don't expect the international standards of 4 star- this hotel will not see me anymore - just to be fair: the gym is amazing and the customer relation manager is trying to do her job (the best possible) but she still needs a lot of training.

I spent my honeymoon there with my wife. We got there before 2 pm but they accept us kindly and checked in. The staffs were polite and nice and all of them could speak English.The rooms were absolutely clean and tidy and there was too much space for both of us.The location of the hotel was excellent. It is located next to the center of Yerevan, the republic Square. There are two beautiful parks around it which you can enjoy walking there. The breakfast was always the best. There were always different kinds of food served in proper amount. If I go to Yerevan again, I prefer to stay in this Hotel again.

If your going to Armenia and want to experience the city then this place is strategic. Staff were super friendly and helpful they gave us the top restaurants to try and even the hole in the wall once which are a must try. The rate is reasonable and the rooms were neat and tidy plus room service was on the dot. We were able to explore tge city via a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast was ok although I wish there was more variety. Overall, My husband and I loved our stay at the Hotel.

Very nice hotel, I thought the reception and bat area was very nice and modern. Staff were all very friendly, attentive and helpful. The room was small in my opinion, but fine as I was staying on my own. I also thought the room was a little old fashioned but very clean and comfortable. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet, and the choice of food and drinks was good. I ate my evening meal here on my first night and I thought it was delicious and reasonably priced. It is in a great location, very near Republic Square. I would definitely stay here again.

The dust has settled, the renovation is over, and the Congress Hotel is back in business. The lobby is amazing and has everything you need to chill, during your time in Yerevan. The bar/cafe offers coffees, teas, and cocktails, along with tasty food items, including salads, sandwiches, and burgers. Be sure to checkout the nearby wine room. If you were worried about construction at the hotel, worry no more and book a room at your old favorite hotel today. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

It's the second time we have stayed in this hotel and I have to say that we were desapointed. The service was not good as the first time, the staff did not make it welcoming except the cleaners and the great Talar (concierge assistant). She was so helpful, problem resolver and always with a big smile. She was service oriented, I wish everyone was like her. The breakfast was bad, the restaurant was closed for renovation so breakfast was served outside with little choice. The room are old, refreshing is very necessary !!

Regarding your comment on our room amenities, we are halfway through changing all of our rooms and it will be fully switched over very soon, so hopefully, with your next visit you will be able to view a more fashionable set with modern design and high technologies. For the breakfast we try to offer a wide selection of choices for our guests. We would like to inform you, that during our renovation project, which is close to it's end, we have some limitations to our services including our restaurant and kitchen and that's why we served breakfast by the pool. Now we already have a totally new menu and restaurant, for sure our breakfast is with great variety of food and also with an Armenian Traditional Food corner. We look forward welcoming you back again in the nearest future and show you all changes that we do for our Guests' comfort.

Pros: good location 5 minute walk from the main square, modern reception/bar area, room was large and clean( but slightly old fashioned) Cons: building work going on from early morning to evening makes it difficult to relax, the pool was large but grubby, breakfast was very poor quality, staff were a mixed bag. Some were great and some were rude and disinterested. All in all, a disappointment and I would not return .

This is a nice enough hotel and has a decent breakfast. I booked a rate that included dinner. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for renovation so they struggled to know what to do. After three attempts to find out from (very friendly) staff, we were taken out to the pool area where the pool bar served food. Very limited menu and the food was just ok. The guy there was very helpful and friendly though. Air con was good. Wifi was good.

I booked this hotel for 4 nights but unfortunately I ended up leaving after 1 night. Check in was slow (despite the hotel being very quiet) and although the room was clean, it was very dated and smelt musty. I was awoken at 8am by very loud banging, drilling and sawing. The hotel, it would seem, is undergoing a much needed renovation. When I booked the hotel I was assured that renovations would be completed by July, some 2 months before my stay. That was not the case. Despite being on the 3rd floor and the opposite end to the building works, the noise was still incredibly loud. Breakfast the next morning was served next to the pool area due to the hotel restaurant being shut for renovation. Access to the pool area involves going down to a basement tunnel, bizarrely. Whilst the idea of an al fresco breakfast sounds quite appealing, the reality was somewhat different. The ‘breakfast buffet' consisted of a trestle table with a toaster, a few pastries and some tinned fruit. None of the food was refrigerated or covered, and the local wasp and fly population seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. The pool area is relatively small and breakfast was therefore very crowded. There were no seats available when we arrived, and I was advised to sit on a sun lounger to wait until a table became free. The noise of the building work when laying by the pool was pretty bad. The pool itself wasn't hugely appealing: I saw a member of staff hop in the pool and proceed to clean the slimy tiles with cleaning fluid whilst guests were in there swimming. The staff were difficult and unhelpful when I advised I would be checking out early, and the manager refused to meet with me. Fortunately, I booked with Booking.com who were very sympathetic and cancelled the booking immediately after I explained the issues. I left the Best Western and checked into the Grand Hotel, which was superb.

But anyway, the information about the hotel renovation is available in all main booking channels and also, we can assure that all the renovation activities are being carried only after 9am in the morning and being stopped after 6 pm in order to bring to the minimum all possible noises. Regarding your complain want to kindly inform you that our Manager on duty offered you a free upgrade on your room type but it was not accepted by your side and after which the reservation was cut by booking.com based on your request. In order to provide our guests the comfort of relaxing by the pool at the same time having their meal during summer season we are providing the breakfast poolside and besides having the products you mentioned in the breakfast we also have a wide variety of fresh seasonal fruits, dairy products, hot dishes and even more as with the limitation of having our main restaurant under renovation we try to provide all our guests opportunity to have outside restaurant available where besides breakfast they can even have lunch, dinner and even pizza and grilled food prepared in front of their eyes. Together with our team we do our best to cover all the needs and expectations of our guests and want to kindly inform You that in the nearest future we will have our new renovated hotel ready with brand new restaurant, lobby, wine cellar and more and all this changes are done in order to make our guests fell the comfort of their stay and in order all the expectations of our guests are met upon the standards.

Great location with a short walking distance to the city centre and main avenues. Breakfast by the pool with a relaxed setting. Rooms are great and all in all in line with International standards for real 4 star hotels. Would certainly stay there again

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. It is reasonably well located but the rooms, although clean, are a bit worn. When we visited, they were renovating the hotel restaurants, which meant that you could hear the noise such as drilling sometimes still close to 7 pm which in my view is not acceptable. The ongoing work also meant that the only restaurant/bar open was the one by the pool where the breakfast was served. As the continental breakfast was set by the pool, it attracted lots of wasps. Probably not great for someone who is allergic! The restaurant staff in the morning seemed on top of things but when we visited for lunch, our experience was rather poor. Our waiter did not speak much English, which meant that he had to go and get someone else help him a number of times. They seemed to have only one waiter serving the food which meant that the food was waiting on the counter for quite some time before it was served and our hot food was no longer hot when it was finally brought to our table. When we complained about this, the food was reheated. Although the hotel check-in time is 2 pm, we had to wait almost until 3 pm to get our room. Not all the reception staff were helpful. Although I understand that some of the issues we had were caused by the ongoing refurbishment, I probably would not stay in this hotel again.

This hotel is very poorly managed. My family and I stayed just over one week, occupying 6 rooms. Because I had booked all the rooms myself they were all listed in my name. They couldn't figure out who stayed in which room, despite my offer of assistance before everyone arrived. The rooms were allocated ad hoc - with much confusion on the part of the hotel. The front desk staff are not trained in their job. They lied to us saying they are waiting for paperwork in order to move us to the proper room, but they were just playing for time until their shift is over. It created a lot of inconvenience for us - for eg. (but not including all the other mistakes) - my daughter had to pay my restaurant bill before she left very early morning; someone then came into our room in the middle of the night, turned on our light in order to check the room fridge/ bar use; then our room was checked out at noon, although we were leaving the next day. Overall a total mess. Is there any management apology? No. Is management aware of their own incompetent system? I doubt it. And lastly, the room safe key is a skeleton key, you need to take it with you everywhere. The only bright spot is the pool and the cleaners and restaurant staff. The rest are useless.

Well what can I say!!! Staying at the Congress hotel was one of the best decisions ever made. The hotel was beautiful, the pool was exactly what one needed when in Armenia during the summer, and the staff made our stay as comfortable as possible. But most of all thank you to our concierge Talar! From the minute we met you, you were nothing but kind and helpful. Congress hotel is very lucky to have someone who is not only friendly but also hardworking. If you're staying at the Congress hotel you will not have a single issue if you speak to her !!!

Unfortunately I have got a bad experience with the hotel. It started once I arrived to the hotel - the hotel was under renovation so once I arrived, there was a bad smell of dust everywhere. Being allergic to dust makes it a big thing for me. The breakfast was another thing - since hotel is under renovation, they kept it outside - but since it's a hote summer and breakfast has sweet pastries and jams - you should see how many bees are there! Personally I'm not afraid of bees, but if you try to wave your hands to make them go away, they will attack you! Then, when I tried their lunch at the pool bar (because it was the only open restaurant in the hotel due to renovations) - and I ordered calzone - it looked nice from outside, but from inside it was just a cut sausage with some cheese and that's it! But my adventures didn't stop here. When I was leaving to the airport - they forgot to call transfer to the airport, even though I booked paid in advance early morning and came to confirm that taxi is booked 3 times! So when I came down and it was already 10 mins past the time my taxi was supposed to come - they said the transfer can't come. They quickly ordered another taxi, and told me they will offer it for free for me and return the money for transfer to my credit card. It was nice of them, and it in order to do it, they will cancel first transaction and charge me again for any other payments. The problem is they charged me second time for other payments, but never sent me money back. I'm constantly in touch with them, but no update. So I paid twice for my stay and never got money back for the first payment to my card, almost missed my plane, and so on. Think twice before booking this hotel.

Stayed for few days ( it was a second stay at this hotel); Positive; 1. Breakfasts- high quality + liked breakfasts being arranged at pool side 2. Pool- a good one, big enough, towels are always available. 3. Location is perfect to walk down to Republic square 4. Very friendly personnel What did not like; 1. Refurbishment works still incomplete ( at winter time had a breakfast just next to elevator, so hotel promised to finish the refurbishment till summer, but it is not done on time) 2. Access to pool- very uncomfortable one, going open down through corridors, via gim and so on. 2. The room had no balcony - not comfortable for smokers. If you stay in smoking rooms- the constant tobacco smell is killing even heavy smokers. 3. Even being ****hotel in my opinion it is still something like 3.5 stars

Very happy with the hotel. The pool area was a perfect place to hang out when we weren't touring the sites. The staff was world class. Sargis the concierge was the best. Very helpful and full of great suggestions. As was Talar who was his assistant i think, Poolside food was great. Among the best pizzas you'll ever have. Hotel was well located. Overall, very good experience.

I want to thank the helpful and friendly staff for making our 2-week stay as comfortable as possible (given that the hotel is currently undergoing renovations). There was ALWAYS a welcoming smile and hello when we walked through the doors and ALWAYS a willingness to help with any question/problem. In particular, Talar went above and beyond to offer help/advice as we planned our day trips and outings!!

I am so happy to choose Best Western Congress Hotel that located a few hundred meters from the city center (Republic Square). The breakfast was amazing! Lots of variety and very tasty. Staffs were very kind.

Positive points - Location - Friendly staff - Pool Negative - Old facillites - Small room / Bathroom very old - Smoking room, with a persistent tobacco smell, with no chance to move to a non smoking one. - Very noisy - Only one elevator far from the room - Refurbishment works

I hate writing negative reviews, but unfortunately I have to this time. There was one too many issues encountered during my stay at this hotel. It started off during checkin when there wasn't enough computers to accommodate all the guests, so we had to wait almost 30mins before it was our turn. My visit was during the hot summer season, one night, we lost electricity on and off for about an hour, which would shut off the AC and wifi. Another night, I didn't have any hot water in the shower to take a warm bath. The only restaurant in the hotel is located by the pool. If you're there during the busy tourism months, good luck trying to find a spot to sit under the shade. That was also the location of the morning breakfast. The food is mediocre at best, and its infested with bees and flies. The last thing, one night, we had a leak in the bathroom that took a very long time to fix. I tried asking about another room to switch to since we wanted to sleep, but everything was sold out. I will 100% never stay here again, and I don't recommend it to anyone.

Travelled during my birthday last 8th March and the hotel staff and manager gave me a special treat - a personalized letter birthday greeting and a bottle wine :) Made me really feel special. Special mention to Ms. Lilit Danielyan (guest relations manager)

We stay in this hotel in Armenia for 4D/3N. Hotel was under renovation wherein breakfast was serve during our 1st day on the hallway and then on the function room for the last 3days..food choices are very limited.Pool was close during that time..anyway it was winter time.However, hotel was very accessible and near to Republic Square.They have friendly staff and very accommodating.Room was small but with complete amenities.

Dear 11Kristy11, Thank you for taking time to complete a review of our hotel. We are very happy that you found our location convenient. It is in the heart of Yerevan and very close to Republic Square and other main attractions in the city, National Gallery, History Museum, Museum of Modern Art, etc. Our hotel is doing renovation for having a totally new interior and new facilities. During this period, we have some limitations to our services including our restaurant and kitchen. But we serve Continental breakfast with light menu in order not to disturb our guests by asking them to go to another place for having a breakfast. Very soon we will have a totally new menu and restaurant and our breakfast will be with great variety of food and will also be with an Armenian Traditional Food corner during breakfast. We have lots of news to tell, to show and introduce our guests in the nearest future and it will be our pleasure to welcome you at our renovated hotel.

I've been 3 nights at this hotel , the location was perfect, the breakfast was weak for a 4 star hotel !!! Rooms were acceptable. The best thing in this hotel was a swimming pool, it was very clean , beautiful, nice staff, good facilities. In general , I really like to come back to this hotel because of it's nice pool????. I really need to mention and suggest the manager to do something for the smelling and the perfume of the hotel. It could be absorbing ??

It is my firs time in Armenia and i must say that I fell in love with the place, culture, food and people. We booked through Holiday factory and they were great, at first we were not sure which hotel to choose and we are glad to have chosen BEST WESTERN CONGRESS HOTEL, you can walk from the hotel to the main area and have some nice restaurants, the staffs are very helpful and showed us where we can go to eat and where we can get what we needed. The only down side was when we arrive their restaurant was in a minor renovation so the breakfast selection was small, though I loved Armenian cheese so much! hope to come back and I know where to stay already. Can't wait to comeback again. :)

Best location in Yerevan with no doubt. Five minute walk to Republic square. Clean, quiet and cozy. There is a little bar, and very good breakfast buffet. A big veriety of cheese and cookies at breakfast. A twenty-minute walk to Noah wine factory you must visit. Do not forget the nice pool.

Staffs were very kind, and we could enjoy in Yerevan with their help. Though a road was blockaded by a protest movement on that day, we were able to arrive at the airport without a big problem.

I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel in yeravan but has nothing special or great that I could say about it. The rooms are very tiny and have no special amenities or anything. I was staying with a child , 3 years old and had no space to even walk around after luggage. They have no room service of there own, no bell desk so you have to carry your own luggage. The breakfasts is very sad and don't even expect a fried egg as they have kitchen on renovation. There is just one couch in the lobby which is full always and so if you are waiting for your room to be done or anything like that you need to stand and wait for the same. The only plus point is it's close to republic square so you can walk there in 10 minutes. I would rather pay more and stay at Marriott yeravan or Hyatt place which are much better.

Both hotel reception teams I met were very friendly and eager to help. I arrived earlier than the generally accepted time for check in but as they had the room ready they allowed me to have it straight away. The room was very generous in size, very clean and with all the equipment's in excellent condition. The bathroom was large, with a large size for the shower. The breakfasts were very good with plenty of choices. Excepting that the reception place was reduced in size I had no discomfort due to the restoration work. I would certainly stay there again.

I faced few issues initially as the hotel is currently undergoing renovations. This wasn't conveyed at the time of booking. However, overall the stay turned out to be pleasant. The location of the hotel was very convenient and gave me an access to the popular historical sites. It was a safe place to stay. The managers were very warm and welcoming. They were more than eager to help.

The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, which were not noted or shared at the time of our booking. There is no bar or restaurant at the moment. Breakfast is served in what is usually a function / meeting room. The airco is also turned off which meant our room was quite warm. If requesting a room, go for the quiet side of the hotel rather than a city view, as there is really no view. However, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They did all they could given the circumstances. The room itself was clean and comfortable.

I pretty much liked the hotel because of its location, as it is located right in centre of the city and their friendly staff. Rooms were pretty fine with much space provided to move around with their luggage. They provide basic room amenities as well. Housekeeping comes everyday to service the room, however if you don't want you can leave the DND sticker outside the room. The location is perfect as everything is walking distance,eg supermarkets,restaurants,money exchange,republic square, etc. They have a friendly & polite staff who is always ready to assist you. They can guide you well with your concerns. Couple of areas in the hotel were under renovations during my stay, which was quite manageable. Breakfast offered was continental. They have pretty big gym and most of the equipments were available. The only concerned that I had during my stay was they have centralised heating system on during my stay and room used to be very hot all the time. We asked them for extra fan but they said they don't have it and can't do much, so advised us to leave our room window opened. So eventually we have to keep the windows opened during our whole stay. And for your pick & drop from the airport you need to inform them in advance so that they can arrange the same, but it will be on a nominal charge. On the whole I had a good stay except this air conditioning issue in the room, otherwise everything was great. were pretty fine with much space provided to move around with their luggage.

It was my first visit to Armenia. I liked Yerevan. It is a very beautiful city and people are very warm. My wife booked a room at Congress Hotel. I liked hotel location very much. There were lots of shops nearby the hotel. The staff was very friendly, communicative and helpful. Housekeeping service was very good. People of reception were very kind and fast. Though the hotel was being renovated and they did not have a kitchen, they served breakfast. I liked it. Gym was well equipped and not overcrowded. My room had a pool view, which was so nice, I imagine that in summer it will be more beautiful.

People working in front desk were very kind and friendly. No problems during check in and check out. The hotel was doing renovation, but I never heard any noise. Fitness is very clean and well equipped. My room was very clean, and had a very beautiful view to the city and gardens. Recommended!!!

My wife and I spent our vacation in Armenia. Yerevan is a very sunny city, people are very kind. We chose Congress Hotel because of its good location: Republic Square is not very far from the hotel: just a 5-minute walk. There are lots of shops in that area, so we didn't have to take a taxi to go shopping. We liked the hotel staff very much. They were very friendly. Breakfast was fresh, but food variety was poor. Our room was small but clean. Housekeeping service was excellent. But the hotel seemed to be old. I am going to choose this hotel to stay in again in Summer.

Great location, very close to Republic Square and Northern Avenue. Most of all I liked the staff. They were very friendly, especially Arusik, the girl at the reception. She was a very interesting and communicative person. The reception staff recommended me some museums to visit, I liked those museums very much. Though the hotel was being renovated during my stay, I felt very comfortable. No noise disturbed me. I am looking forward to seeing the hotel after the renovation. I will recommend this hotel to my friends who are going to visit Yerevan.

Armenia is a nice country. I was surprise to find inside the country a lot of place to visit. The republic square is not so far from the congress hotel and there you canwalk and found restaurants and other attractions. Going outside from the hotel on the corner there is an mamazing local restaurant where an old man ( owner) will guide you in the typical dishes.

We were a group of 3 who stayed here for 5 nights and on the whole we had a very pleasant stay. The staff are very courteous and helpful and that would be this hotel's greatest asset. The rooms are well maintained and housekeeping do a splendid job of keeping the place clean. It's also centrally located with easy access to popular streets like the Northern Avenue, Republic Square, Cascades etc. We booked an executive double room which though cosy, could have been a little more spacious. Sadly, the hotel was swamped with tourists in the middle of our stay resulting in a not so pleasant breakfast experience as it just wasn't sufficient. I felt bad for the staff who had to face the brunt of angry guests when operations should have ensured that sufficient breakfast was available as per room bookings. But hopefully they are better prepared next time. Based on the above, this deserves a rating of 3 but the extra point is for the friendly and competent staff.

My wife was invited to participate in a hard science conference. I went along assuming I'd spend my time with a friend of mine who, unfortunately for me, was to be in Georgia while I was there. I found myself at the mercy of an organized tour set up for the scientists and guests. The whole time there was stunningly beautiful to the eye and captivating to the imagination and that part of you that hungers for illumination. I have a zillion cool stories. Best one of the hotel is being awake as the sun came up and out the window was Ararat in all its indescribable glory. Right out there to see! The hotel was comfortable and the staff friendly, helpful and able to deal with some American who simply happened to be there. In all fairness I was already a huge fan of Armenian folk music and dance.

The staff here make the hotel what it is. They are better than excellent. They think ahead and are proactive. They know that if you are going home you might want to settle the bill the night before to save time in the early hours of the morning. Small details but they think about it. Breakfast is great with very friendly staff who will offer to make you a traditional Lavash if they see you looking uncertainly at the mountain of raw herbs and cheeses... Conference facility is good.

Hotel located near to the city center which you will walk up to 10 min to Republic square. Reception was good. Critical part is that the housekeeping service was quite bad that sometimes you will find the stuffs such as sheets towels haven't changed at all. Also there are no single use toothbrush, toothpaste and or any other stuffs. Pools didn't work during my stay /maybe because of cold weather/. But the breakfast was actually good.

The crew is extremely friendly and very helpful. They go the extra mile to accommodate your needs, whatever they might be. It's impossible to list the names of all hotel employees who served us, but wanted to mention a couple of names. Karapet Galfayan, Deputy Manager; Arusyak and Narek at the front desk; Ruzanna and Gayane, the cleaning ladies; and so many others. They all made our stay very enjoyable.

This Best Western hotel is conveniently located one block down a tree lined street from Republic Square which is the center of Yerevan. From the square you can access most of the main streets in Yerevan including Abovyan and Amiryan which are full of shops and restaurants. From Abovyan you can access the new Northern Avenue which is a pedestrian only shopping street. The buffet breakfast which comes with your room has many selections including the egg and meat dishes Americans like. The desk staff generally knows English and is helpful.

I was here last winter 2016. Due to some issues with our travel agent, we were booked to an early flight,hence we arrived in Yerevan hours before the usual check in time. I appreciated their frontliners who made the extra mile and made it possible for us to have an early check in. We were even treated with a complimentary buffet breakfast though we have not officially check in as they prepared our room. I personally love their breakfast, wide choices, from fresh fruits, juices, cold cuts, home made jams and bread, staff are friendly and speaks English well. Rooms are well maintained, especially love their heater was functioning well and kept me and my travel buddy warm as it was hitting negative degrees outside. If you like quiet neighborhood but stil close to republic square, shopping area etc, and if you want to go for a 4 star hotel with deluxe customer service, this is the hotel for you.

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel from Sep 8-16th and it was my first visit to Armenia. I had emailed Emmma, the reservation person, and we finally agreed that I would be staying at the facility with my family for 8 days. Once we arrived after our second day, i was told that I would have to leave the hotel and find another place for the evening and then come back and then in 2 days due the same thing for a night etc. We had words with 4 of the front staff (all in Armenian) and there was NO way I was going to go to another hotel and come back etc. After 30 min of back and forth they decided to place us in another room. Never once was there an apology for the inconvenience. I finally received an email from Emma stating what my total was and she had forgotten to add the 2 night so I was under the impression that we were getting 2 nights for free for the misunderstanding. On our last day we apprached her and like a typical Armenian there was no smile or any sort of apology for her mistake. She agreed to provide us with one night for free. I should not have asked for that. That should have been offered as a courtesy. One thing you'll realize is that customer service does NOT exist in Armenia. No one smiles, and very seldom do people actually greet you. I approached the guest relations manager and told him all of the above and we did receive a gift basked and a bottle of wine along with a letter. Again, I shouldnt have to approach them and let them know how to do their job which is called "customer service". Housekeeping, staff at the bar were all very nice but just be very careful about all the expenses etc. Make sure you read it and ask 10x to be clear and keep all of your documentation. Didnt leave with the best impression and I'm not sure if I'd be eager to go back.

Dear adermarti, Thank You very much for sharing with us the experience You had during Your stay at our hotel. We do value Your opinion which really helps us to become better and to provide better services to our customers. We do apologize for the inconvenience caused during Your stay and want to kindly clarify some issues that made You feel unsatisfied. Regarding Your confirmation letter and the case that you need to change you hotel was a result of misunderstanding as on Your confirmation letter it was initially written the dates of Your Arrival and Departure and there were clearly mentioned the dates when hotel could provide You room and on which dates couldn't with the detailed number of the nights which totally was 6 nights instead of 8 nights and for Your first days of stay Your room was upgraded from double to an executive free of charge in order You feel more comfortable. The solution of the the issue was that our reservation department did their best to manage in a way that You stayed at our hotel though the hotel was full and we could provide you our last available room and as there was a lack information about the payment from our side the last night of Your stay we provided free of charge in order to make you feel comfortable and safe. Concerning the customer service and the attitude towards the guests in our hotel want to kindly note that all our team starting from the Front Desk to the Housekeeping always do their best in order to make our guests feel at home and the actions that we are taking for solving the inconvenience of the guests are done as we truly care for each guest and we always do our best to provide better service to all our customers. Thank You and hope to see you soon in our hotel to change your opinion about our environment and the hospitality service here. Best Regards, Karapet Galfayan Deputy General Manager Best Western Congress Hotel

The hotel is located close to the city centre. The front side looks over a park while the back side has city view with Mt Ararat looming at the background. The staff is friendly and helpful....most except for the housekeeping staff interact in English. Breakfast has a good spread with local specialities. I was in a conference and the lunch meals were delicious. The hotel is well placed to walk around and explore the city.

The hotel is located just a few blocks from the Dancing Fountain. Upon arrival, the lobby was unusually warm. They provided us with a card to get us complimentary drinks. When we went to our floor, the outside hallway area smelled like feet. The room was small but good enough for a short stay. The double bed is a bit small for two adults, but the bed is comfortable. The pool was nice, and it is a good size. We ate at the Italinan restaurant. The pizza was reasonably priced, and it tasted okay. I recommend that they clean the carpet to avoid the stench.

We took a voucher from Holiday Factory who booked us the flights and hotel. After a full night of travel, we got here at 6am and the reception staff were very impolite. Very bad service on arrival, refuse early check in, excuse was no rooms available which was a lie! The staff is very unfriendly, guy named Hayk and manager Emba had terrible attitude! Please do not choose, definitely not if you're using holiday factory. You will be sat in the lobby for 8 hours with no one to bother!.

Dear Varuna M, Thank You very much for sharing with us Your impressions. We do value Your opinion about our hotel and always try to improve. Concerning Your complaints we would like to clarify some points. Our check in time is at 14:00 p.m. The guests who arrive early always inform the hotel team, so we can arrange and reserve the room for the guest to check in upon his arrival. The early check in is at an extra charge. It is a top season in Yerevan now and our hotel is fully booked so it is hard to find a free room asked on spot. Holiday Factory guests are never aware of early check in policy. We asked the company to inform the guests many times. What concerns our team I would like to mention that regardless to Your impolite and disrespectful attitude towards the hotel employees they tried to explain and solve the issue in a calm way. For Your next trips we advise you to check all the information about the hotel more detailed in order not to have such kind of misunderstandings. Hope to welcome You again to our hotel. Best Regards, Lilit Danielyan Marketing Coordinator Best Western Congress Hotel

We stayed at this wonderful hotel, near republic square for 10 days. The staff, particularly the concierge, were wonderful! The rooms were clean and comfortable. The hotel is walking distance to all of the main spots in Yerevan. The pool was a great place to relax after a long day of walking. Next door was a lovely park! I would absolutely stay here again!

The rooms are simplistic and elegant. Great cleanliness and amazing views to offer! The service is phenomenal. That includes room service, front desk service, restaurant service. Everything. The staff is very friendly, warm, welcoming and enthusiastic. They really make you feel like they genuinely care about your visit to Yerevan and go out of their way to make sure that you feel welcome and entertained. They have a beautiful pool with different kinds of tanning as well as seating areas. So whatever your preference is, there will be a spot for you to enjoy and relax. The in-house restaurant has a great vibe and the pizza is absolutely delicious. They have a great fitness center that is very clean and offers a great variety of workout equipment. The location is absolutely great. You can walk everywhere in Yerevan or take a taxi right outside of the lobby for your convenience. What I also really enjoyed were all the beautiful parks just right next door or across the street. This has been one of my best hotel experiences and I will definitely be returning! And hopefully become a regular visitor.

We booked this hotel from Holiday Factory for 1,699 Aed inclusive of airfare and accommodation for 4days and 3 nights. Airport pickup and drop off were also included. Best Western Congress was a great hotel, situated in the heart of Yerevan. The staff were nice, they keep your room clean, when we sent our clothes for laundry, we were impressed by how they kept it clean and ironed. Buffet breakfast was fantastic. Just in case you are quite sensitive with pork being served, just let them know. Republic Square is just 10mins away. A friend reached Cascade Complex by foot in about 15-20 mins. There are nearby restaurants where you can try Armenian Cuisines like TUMANYAN PANDOK, other restaurants like Black Angus is just a few blocks away. There are also museums close by. We paid a cab for 1000 Armenian dram or 2$ that was just around Yerevan, just in case you are not fond of walking. This hotel is a 5/5 for me.

Traveled with business trip in June. Place was really nice clean and comfy. can't say anything bad. rooms were nice and food was also fine. this is in the center of main square of Yerevan, the location was best! views from the room was fine but not best! recommended.

Had a very interesting and active vacation in Yerevan. Visitied a lot of sihtseeings and even had a flight on Paraplan which gave me an opportunity to see the beauty of Armenian nature from the high. At the same time hotel staff helped me much during my stay. The Concierge whose name was Sargis organized for me a tour to Tsahkadzor where I jumpped from zipline and also he helped me much during my stay.In the hotel I enjoyed the stake with wine souce at the restaurant and it was nice to see that the staff is always ready to help. For sure there were some lacks but all in all in it is a good and comfortable place to visit. For sure will go there also in Summer to enjoy the beauty of lake Sevan.

I had a great holidays in Armenia. From the beginning it was a business trip but after I had 3 more free days to stay there. For these 3 days I want to thank the hotel staff who are very friendly, professional and accompanied me during my stay especially Mr. Madoyan was very helpful ;) It's a pity that I met there well known Martin Scorsese but I couldn't grab a photo with him cause his managers didn't allow me. (( Anyways thank you for my beautiful adventures and I will be back to you soon :*

The hotel room is not so big, but it is very comfortable and has all the amenities needed. Staff is very helpful and quick in replying to the questions.

And they have a 24 hour Venice bar. They also have gym, pool and sauna and they have money exchange. The place is accessible to restaurant supermarket and to the republic square. The room was spacious the bed was so comfy which most of the time i just want to stay on it the whole day. Toiletries are provided and they always make sure that your room is always clean. And after a tiring day from your tour you can have a nice massage (excellent lady masseur) from their health club.

It's clean. The staff are friendly. But don't expect too much more. The service provided in the bedroom is less than adequate and the food in the restaurant is mainly meat based, often with no vegetarian alternative. Also, the hotel can be very noisy. All of the delegates attending our conference complained that they woke up sweating every night as the air con does not work. That created some problems as delegates became irritable during their stay.

It was a dinner with colleges after grand opening of our office. Most of the guests left early and half of the tables were free after an hour. After the president's leave the service became terrible. Servants were laughing and talking next to us. They started to move furniture from the hall very, very loudly. The noise was so horrible that we even couldn't hear each other. They left the door open in a cold weather. I will never visit this place after it, there was no respect to their customers.

Good location with access to all parts of the city. Very comfortable room with all amenities. Front Desk staff very helpful in helping me. The restaurant opened early and breakfast included. Great experience.

The Best Western Congress in Yerevan is located very close to the Republic Square and is an average hotel for a "big chain". Some specifics to note: Breakfast is a HUGE spread and should appeal to all, some rooms are smoking so make sure to specify a non-smoking room if you need it (smoking rooms are obviously used often), on the same theme, the lobby/bar gets very smoky in the evenings. There is a currency exchange that opens at 9am in the lobby and also an ATM. A full menu is available until 11pm in case you don't feel like leaving the hotel - options include sandwiches and pizza so you can also take a break from Armenian food if you are so inclined. Rooms were small but very comfortable and the shower has plentiful hot water and good pressure. You can find places close by that are less expensive but the BW is good for all of the conveniences.

We had a super stay in this hotel. Warm hospitality and an excellent location. Mr. Karapet was kind enough to send us a bottle of wine and fruits for our anniversary to our room. He ensured the staff took great care of us. A special mention about Lilit at the Reception, always smiling and so very helpful. Lioni, the breakfast supervisor was so efficient and polite. Always willing to get your a refill. The breakfast spread was superb. The rooms most comfortable and well maintained. Would surely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Yerevan.

You will not be dissapointed when you stay at the Best Western Congress Hotel Yerevan. Don't be mistaken about the name. The hotel is not only for congresses and conventions, but perfect for leisure and holidays. It was our first trip to Yerevan and we stayed four nights. We had a room on the upper floors facing northwest, enabling us to enjoy the magnificent Mountain View in the horizon. The backside is overlooking the pool area and the English Park. The room standard is already high, but the hotel is planning a renovation to make the standard even higher. There are many reasons to book your stay here. Here are four good ones: 1. Friendliness The entire staff is extremely friendly, motivated, professional and really, service minded. Upon arrival by car, although a large wedding party occupied the entire street, the staff quickly organised a parking space in front of the entrance. The staff responded instantly to all our needs and requirements – with a smile. 2. Location The hotel is located centrally in downtown Yerevan right next to the English Park. All attractions and shopping areas are within a short walking distance. Parking is possible in front of the main entrance. 3. Pool area Probably the Congress Hotel has one of the best outdoor pool areas in Yerevan. Large pool, nicely decorated surroundings and top class Italian made sunbeds – not those hard and ugly white plastic sunbeds you might have experienced elsewhere. There are plenty of large, soft black pool towels. 4. Breakfast The breakfast is outstanding. The selection is impressive and the quality high. There are four buffets with different choices. Hot breakfast, international breakfast, Armenian specialities and charcuterie/cheese. After this breakfast, you are ready to skip lunch. The Congress Hotel receives our top marks for the ability to make our stay very comfortable and truly enjoyable.

Maybe giving this hotel 3/5 is not fair, but these grades are in some way relative or biased. Going to Armenia, which is a very "cheap" destination, I thought this would be a "really fancy" hotel, considering its price. Everything was "fine" with the hotel, but it was very far from being "fancy". Clean. Has a nice pool (didn't get to use it - was closed on the only day I could have, since they had a wedding or some other big loud party with a rock band), and a relatively large gym. The breakfast wasn't bad, consisting of quite a few local specialties (which was nice to get a taste of Armenian cuisine). The room was clean. So I guess I shouldn't complain. But the small things were annoying. The water pressure in the shower was weak. The elevator was so slow that I often found myself walking (at least down) five stories. The reception was slow. That pool party was loud and uncalled for. And there was this "old" feeling about the place. Don't know. We saw some of the other hotels that looked ultra fancy from the outside and weren't much more expensive, and we thought we probably could have gone for one of them...

I stayed at Congress Hotel for 3 days. First of all I want to mention the excellent location which was really important for me (as I was staying for business), it is located in the city centre, so you can reach the Republic Square in 3-5 minutes by walk.The second advantage is for sure my lovely RAFFAELLO!!!Good and helpful staff and unforgettable tasty Italian and Armenian cuisine. And my overall opinion is very good. I will definitely choose Congress next time, for its' proffessional and friendly staff, for the price and for location. P.S. And the open-air pool is just a miracle.))

We had satisfactory stay at The Best Western Congress Hotel and obviously the beautiful city Yerevan. The city has a lot to offer for sight seeings, family outings, plus of course their finest cuisine at Restaurant call Beer Academy. We would suggest that Must experience the world's longest rope-way cable car plus all the Ancient In Tact Monasteries for calmness purposes with that felt some kind of spirituality. The country has vast prehistoric untouched areas which are covered with beautiful Mountains (A special Masimi mountain in Yerevan), plus greenery - all were so worthy to visit for appreciating our nature's sheer beauty. So we will highly recommend Armenia to explore more for their entire surroundings as country has old country traditions with modern curves.

We have stayed here for the first time with my wife. Our room was in the 6th floor and every morning we had an opportunity to admire the beauty of the mount Ararat and swimming pool of the hotel. The service was very good , they even gave us a bottle of Armenian champagne and cake as we were celebrating our anniversary. The pool and fitness area are good they just need some new equipment and some freshness. Breakfast was very delicious my wife loved Armenian cheeses very much. They have a great concierge whose name was SARGIS who approached us every time we need a help and gave us information we need. The staff was very polite and smiling. Definitely will go again !

At first I need to appreciate for hotel management cooperation regarding my online payment issue. Best Western Congress hotel is a clean hotel, in one word. The location is great and close to republic square and also the staffs were kind and helpful. But, I expected to have a bigger room based on Hotel website's photos, it was not. After check in, no one helped us for carrying luggage, I have not seen such welcome from any other 4 star hotels. I can say that this hotel is a good hotel but could be better.

The reception was not welcoming, the key did not work so we had to return to the reception, a cleaner burst into our room as we were changing, at 9 25am a cleaner came knocking on our door. It is Sunday! The pillows are so bulky I had to sleep without one, the duvet is heavy even though it is 30+ degrees outside and no I do not like air conditioning. We requested a quiet room with pool or mountain view. We could not open the window because of traffic noise, the police sirens woke us up twice during the night. The bathroom is old and in need of a thorough clean and upgrade. On entering the pool there was no one to give towels or explain where everything is. Eventually having taken towels from the health club we were told to take them from the life guard - we did not see one during the whole afternoon and kids were in the pool. We wondered around to pool to find a pile of towels left unattended, the towel had a hole in it. This was a special visit to celebrate our anniversary, the only good thing I can say about this hotel is the bed is very comfortable but with no pillow even that was spoiled.

I stayed with my husband in May 2016 during our first trip to Armenia. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. It has a perfect location near Republic Square, at a walking distance from all major attractions in the city. The staff is very friendly and also recommended us a guide for out city tours. The breakfast buffet was nice however quality of few items can be improved. Our Guide Anna showed the beautiful country and we have even recommended her to our friends. She was extremely professional and had a very good knowledge about the culture and history of Armenia. We will definitely be back..

We were 2 adults and 2 teenagers, none of the rooms would accommodate us since the rooms were small. Three in one room is max (very tight). We had to change our executive room to two rooms. The executive room was slightly bigger. I don't recommend this hotel if you are a family of three or more. The higher level rooms in the back (not the street side) had a good view of mount Ararat. Staff was very friendly and helpful, though we did not use the swimming pool, it was clean and well organized. Next trip to Armenia I would take a change and rent an apartment through "HyurService.com".

My mum and i enjoyed our one week stay in this beautiful, clean and friendly hotel. The hotel has an easy access to all places in Yerevan. I used to jog everyday in the nearby garden and have mum walk in the fresh oxygen. We spent our mornings at its clean pool and were pampered by the friendly pool's staff that speaks english well ( specially Sona Khatchadurian, Vrej, Lioni, Garo, Ada...my mum's favorites). I used the gym and sauna almost everyday.Breakfast / food at the pool was very tasty, affordable and includes healthy options prepared by an Italian chef & team. The hotel organized a nice party and invited all in-house guests including the staff, so we all spent a nice evening dancing, singing and eating Italian food. My mum & I would like to thank Tereza Baghdaserian, management and the whole team for their outstanding hospitality specially their superstar concierge Sarkis Sarkisian who i am sure he wawos all his guests with his beautiful happy spirit and real concierge attitude ( he is a real facilitator and speaks English well ) Not to forget the professional reception,housekeeping ( Luisine Vartamian) & security team, who made us feel at home:) I live in Dubai and i appreciate the great hotels with professional concierge service, hence i highly recommend the Congress Hotel to all my friends and everyone who wants to visit Armenia:)

People in this hotel are friendly and good. But there are some items that I didn't like about this hotel: 1- small lobby 2- There are some rooms facing to a wall, be aware of not getting such a rooms. 3- Some rooms are not soundproof, in one of the rooms that I was I could here street noises and next rooms phone ringing. 4- There are fly in the breakfast area 5- My rooms didn't have any window net. So if you intend to open the window you'd accompanied by bugs and insects in your room. 6- Air condition is good. 7- The pool is good and the water is clean. 8- Beds are good and comfortable. 9- You can watch local Armenia TV for free. 10- The internet is sometimes so good and sometimes terrible. (Depending on the time of the day) 11- Maids are so good. 12- Restaurants foods are not that good for the price, specially if you get Italian foods. I once got the trout fillet which was so good. 13- I don't suggest you hotel tours, I used to think that hotel tours should be the best and cheapest but I was wrong. They are so expensive in comparison to the other tours. 14- The staffs are willing to help you anytime. 15- When you get to the room you can't find any comb, cotton swabs, tooth brush and paste. If you need any you should call them! 16- the location of hotel is so good. 18- If you want to get a room emphasis to get a room facing to the pool. Otherwise street noise would bother you. 19- I would say this hotel is an economy 4 star hotel. So you shouldn't expect to see the standards of a 4 star hotel here. 20- If you are an impatient person here wouldn't be a good solution for you. Not only in the hotel but everywhere in Armenia the waiting time to get a service is long. I think people her are so relax in doing their works. not like USA. 21- In restaurant smoking is free like everywhere in Armenia.I also think there is no drinking rules like USA here.

I stayed there for eight nights with my husband and in short the hotel is Ok but they are slipping. The pros: - The location is fantastic. It is in the center, yet it has all the parks around so guests have some peace. - The breakfast is really nice and loved the table of Armenian breakfast items in the morning that included all the dairy products, dried beef and fruit in addition to the walnut jam. I just wished they marked it so that customers know what they are having and appreciate it even more. That was my favorite part. -The quality of bed is great as expected. - They have a decent pool at the premises that they also open to customers from the outside so it can be a little crowded on weekend days. - Most of the staff is really nice. I especially liked both bar tenders as they made excellent espresso. The girls that worked the breakfast are really great. - The restaurant in the hotel makes good food and really good pizza. We had lunch from there on couple occasions as we didn't feel like going anywhere. The cons: - The room cleaning is bad. When we checked in the room didn't have two sets of towels or toiletries. We stayed there for eight nights and they never cleaned under the bed or changed the bed sheets. We found the the bathroom heating turned on twice because the bathroom heater is used as a towel rack and they turn it as they put the towels on. We found notes from a previous guest in the room because the housekeeping never checked it. - The furnishings in the entire hotel are outdated - The hotel closes the pool for guests and rents it out for loud weddings. The night we arrived they closed the pool and had a weeding followed by a loud DJ, dancing and fire works literally under our windows. Despite of this I would stay at the hotel again.

Dear Grim35, Thank You very much for sharing your impression on your last stay. Your opinion about our hotel is very useful and important to us. It's nice to hear that you liked our hotel with its comfort and facilities and with its location which is just 200m far from the Republic Square. Our hotel is surrounded with parks so you can even enjoy the nature and fresh atmosphere of the area. We are pleased that you enjoyed our American buffet breakfast and also new options of Armenian local products. As regards the marking of local products want to kindly inform you that as that was the first day we added local options we didn't mark them but now you can find the name and the description of each local product and by all that products we have added even more new local products so for our guests to feel the real taste of Armenia. We are sorry that you did not have a good impression on our housekeeping services but we may guarantee you and all our guests that out staff (working 24/7) is always trying to do the work at best to keep rooms cleaned and healthy because we know the importance of keeping our guests in a proper well-cleaned rooms. We do apologize if the impression was different from this.

Excellent hotel. The swimming pool is the best in Yerevan, with a really nice atmosphere. It has a very good bar with great coctails. Stay away frpm the cappucino though, which is extremely expensive. The hotel is situated within Walking distance from Republic Square.

A friendly hotel with poite person. It has a very beautiful view in rooms. If you like to swim have a beautiful and big swimming pool. The breakfast is so good and Diverse . The hotel lobby is not very pretty and is old. There was no water hose after After pouring out but its amazing All hotels in Armenia do not have water hoses. I was happy staying there.

i arrived Yerevan with my friends without having a reservation. We were walking in the center and found out this hotel. Reception staff helped me to get a room. They were very friendly and helpful. I liked also the breakfast buffet. The only thing i didn't like is the size of room. I stayed in the room with my two friends and the space was not enough for us!!

At the first sight, I just said to myself "the pictures look much better than the reality". I will not complain about the service and the staff because they were very friendly and cooperative. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel is very close to the republic square which is the heart of the city. I was satisfied in general but if you poan to stay there do not expect a luxury 4 or 5 star hotel. Just an average, comfortable and clean place to stay a few days.

Sadly I feel compelled to write this review. Over the last several years we have stayed frequently in this hotel a place that we both looked forward to visiting and enjoyed staying in, a warm welcome and genuinely friendly staff. Sadly that is no longer the case Something like 70% of the staff have changed recently and the change is not for the better for the most part they are disinterested in the guests (the staff at the pool do a particularly good line in studiously ignoring you) they'd rather be chattering amongst themselves, tapping away on smartphones or loitering outside smoking (in sight of guests which never used to happen). They are poorly trained and genuinely don't seem to know what they are supposed to be doing a lot of the time (although there seems to be plenty of “supervisors”). The overall impression is not welcoming at all especially given the large amount of “Security” that seems to be everywhere lurking in reception, going through the housekeeper's carts in full view of the guests, it is rather more reminiscent of Soviet Era Moscow than Yerevan in 2016! The service in the restaurant is slow and breakfast is chaotic at best – the food however is still good. The rooms desperately need an overhaul they are starting to look very shabby indeed – especially as this claims to be a 4 star hotel. There are still a few shining stars amongst the staff and a few rising stars too so a shout out to Carlos, Qnarik, Ani N, Ani G, Davit I, Lusine, Lilit, Emma T, Tatev and Tigran M (with apologies for any misspelled names) and special mention to some of the cleaning ladies who have been there for quite some time – for your efforts. But all in all a terribly disappointing visit. If it wasn't for the pool (when it's not closed) the hotel would universally be considered a good 2 star hotel at best.

Dear 802AngelaS, Thank You for taking time to leave your impression on your last stay. Allow us to explain to you what is really going on in our hotel. As regards the staff the changes are physical after many years and all the new staff is being properly and attentively trained as many guests of ours can reconfirm to you.There is one supervisor in every department as it is common in hotels and international chains. Obviously what I can tell you as a loyal guest in our hotel is that they did not have the opportunity to recognize you at first sight and probably this is disappointing you and we understand you and apologize for this. Security is for the guest safety and this is something adding quality more than creating "Soviet" environment and as you know there has always been security in the hotel. The Staff at the swimming Pool is basically the same of past years, as it is hard for us to understand why you do not like them any longer. As regards the building it is in the same condition and cleanness of previous years even if the layout is not a modern one and this is why we are working on a renovation program. As regards breakfast, during your stay we were fully booked and so more than chaotic it was simply full of guests. We are sure that these changes for renovation and for the staff will be appreciated in your following visit because we believe you will trust us again in your future visits. Best Regards, Andrea Ferrari General Manager Best Western Congress Hotel

This hotel is located just 5 mints walking to the Republica square(center). The staffs so nice and very supportive especially Shushan. This is hard job for choosing the best hotel between many good resorts in Yerevan.However, this hotel have a nice pool that other nice places such as Republica and Paris hotels dont have it. Fortunately, during my stay, Hotel established a pool party for their staffs and hotel invited all guests also. This kind of happy moment repeats again if you would be lucky during your stay. you will not regret if choose this high class hotel. Poorya

I stayed here 4 nights and sure if in Yerevan again, I will stay at this hotel. free wifi with good speed and nice pool is also good point about this hotel.

I only stayed at this hotel for my last night in Armenia. It was clean, convenient, accommodating and very close to the airport. It made getting to my early morning flight easy. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, especially if you're looking for something convenient to the airport.

Looking forward to organize for you all this services for your next stay. Best Regards Karapet Galfayan Marketing Coordinator Best Western Congress Hotel

Although not a luxury hotel, the Congress has many of the attributes without the steep price. Rooms are nice; not terribly large, but clean and modern, and the ones on the front side have balconies (one morning I was able to see Mt. Ararat from my 6th floor balcony!), while the rooms on the back side, overlooking the pool, are a bit quieter. Easy walking distance to most important tourist sites. What really makes this hotel is the standout staff, from reception to the business desk, to the restaurant, to the cleaning staff, which makes it clear that the hotel has excellent management that takes care to train staff thoroughly. As a solo traveller on my first visit to Yerevan, without any Armenian language, I particularly relied upon, and appreciated the warmth, helpfulness and efficiency of the staff. Breakfast was excellent, served in a pleasant, sunny room with a great selection. Rafaello, the attached Italian restaurant, was unusually good, set in a lovely indoor/outdoor space, with beautifully prepared food and perfect service. The fitness center includes a range of very affordable and highly competent services; I opted for a foot massage, and basically got a full-body massage that removed every ache and pain from my tired self. I don't ordinarily stay at chain hotels, but this one was just super!

The hotel is conveniently located on the way from the airport to the heart of Yerevan. Its staff is very friendly, multilingual and ready to attend your needs. Breakfast was good and rich in choice and the restaurant is nicely suited for it. Free Wi-Fi is reliable. The hotel is within a walking distance from the central square of Yerevan with all its nightlife and entertainment. I highly recommend the hotel for business travellers to Yerevan.

Nice above average hotel. The service was very good and professional. The rooms were clean but I never like "split king" beds - I always find myself falling between the two single mattresses. Anyway, the breakfast was decent - lots of healthy choices, not much in the way of "hot'' food though. Hotel very centrally located. Reasonably priced. The attached restaurant (mostly Italian food) was amazing! (see separate review for Raffaelo's).

I stayed at the Congress Hotel for 2 weeks, and when I checked out I left stuff in a drawer and my slippers beside the bed! The stuff in the drawer included a gift for my sister in Rome - the next stop in my itinerary. I realised my mistake and emailed the hotel from Kiev Airport. Now, 2 months later, I am back in Yerevan. All my possessions were neatly packaged, ready for me. And when I couldn't sleep because of the winter-weight bed covers, replacement bedding was provided almost before I put down the 'phone. I give top marks to the staff for their efficiency, courtesy and helpfulness.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! and yes, that is right! My work trip got so much better with the breakfast of this hotel, great food, professional staff and always ready to help you in every occasion, from the check-in to the check-out! And I could say that breakfast was my delightful start of the day for about a week, I loved it! I had couple of chance to eat in the "Raffaello restaurant" with my colleagues and since the beginning the care and professionalism made me feel special. The kitchen is another strong point, italian dishes like lasagna, pasta and a tasty pizza are at their best here. I had two times pizza in hotel and I could feel like in Italy... The location it's very nice, in the center but out of noisy and busy streets, they have a wonderful pool (which unfortunately I couldn't enjoy in April), free wifi everywhere and a lobby with very helpful staff...Congress will be for sure my future choice for other trips in Armenia.

I have to say that the location of this hotel is probably the best you can find in Yerevan, this place is really nice especially in the summer time with their comfy outdoor pool! I've enjoyed it during my last business trip in august.. It was really a beautiful and customer friendly space, with a well-trained staff very welcoming and helpful. And what comes to pizza I could say it was one of the best that I have had so far! The breakfast is definitely a must try! There is almost everything you can ask, rich buffet, good handmade products and a direct service very attentive. I would highly recommend this hotel. It will be my first choice in Yerevan for future trips!

I have stayed at this hotel for one week in April 2016. The reception staff is welcoming and always smiling. They offer assistance whenever asked but sometimes a delay is found. Rooms are nice, clean and tidy. Bathroom well cleaned. Room service is quick. I was a bit disappointed from the repartitions of smoking and non smoking rooms. I was not asked initially if i wanted a smoking or non smoking areas. When I checked in my room was not a smoking allowed room, couldn't sleep the first night from the neighboring room resident. He was smoking till 1am and talking. the smell stays in the rooms. changed the rooms and all went well.

First, nobody will greet you when you arrive. The guy standing on the door won't even open the door for you. No porter. Reception is not welcoming, no smiles, no greetings. Just give you your key card and figure out everything yourself. Corridors are so narrow. Rooms are so small. Very basic amenities. Shampoo, soap and body wash. It's an old hotel and needs some upgrading. Carpet looks dirty. I have stayed in a small hotel in another area for 4 days before checking in to this hotel for a much cheaper price but the small hotel far exceeded my expectation than this hotel. There's no air conditioning. Only centralized heating system and the heat is suffocating. Complained about it but the issue was not resolved. Have to open the window to get some cold air. Very noisy from the cars on the street even the windows are close. There's always a loud banging outside the corridor, must be from the cleaning crew. Cafe is in the middle of the reception area. No privacy whatsoever. Spa service, (which is why I changed hotels) is disappointing as well. There are very few service selections that are pricey. Not satisfied with the spa service although the old lady masseuse is very polite and kind. I like massages so I know when I'm getting a good service from spas. Restaurant staff are quick and polite and always smiling. Food is ok but not outstanding. Waste of money. Poor service quality. There are other hotels that are much nicer and provides quality service for the same price or less.

Dear angelnurse52081, Thank you for taking a time and leaving the review of your stay. We do apologize if the first impression was negative for you as this is not the way we are willing to treat our guests. The front desk employees and the porters are always happy to welcome our guests to our hotel, as are all the hotel employees. We have different room categories with different sizes. The amenities are provided upon Best Western standards: 2 soaps, 2 shampoos, 2 gels (double room) per day, more are provided upon request. The hotel has centralized heating system which is going to be changed this year, all the windows are soundproof, which was changed for our guests not to be disturbed because of the noise. We do not have a cafe in the lobby, we have created some comforts in the lobby for our guests to seat and communicate. Concerning the spa service we would like to inform that we have a fitness center and Sauna, which is free of charge for our guests. We have a massage service (provided by certified doctor), which is an extra charge. We are happy that you enjoyed the services provided by our Raffaello Restaurant. The whole team is doing their best to satisfy our guests and manage their stay in a most comfortable way. We would be more then happy if you would give us a second chance to host you at our hotel and prove the high quality of our service. Best Regards, Karapet Galfayan Marketing Coordinator Best Western Congress Hotel

This hotel is full of surprises in almost uncomfortable way you could ever imagine!!!Started with lack of either towel or slippers or soap in the room, there is another story I would remember till the end of my life.. The hotel personnel managed to checkin in my room totally stranger person!! Can you imagine when some man you never seen before at 5 am opens door of your room and walks in?? I was so scared and now so amazed with level of professionalism of this hotel I would not recommend to anyone to stay here!! Terrible experience!

Dear RegisteredForReviews, Thank you for the time spent on the feedback of your stay. Let us express our apologies for the inconveniences caused at our hotel. Based on the Best Western Chain standard the courtesy products are as following: 2 soaps, 2 shampoos, 2 shower gels, 2 hands, 2 feet, 2 face and 2 bath towels (for the double occupancy room). Whenever any extra product is requested our reception and housekeeping departments are always at your disposal upon request. As regards the unfortunate episode that occurred, there was a technical issue in the system, that created this problem and we didn't manage to avoid it before the guest entered the wrong room and we do apologize with both of you. This is the first and we believe last time we have had such kind of problem. Hope you will give us the chance to prove the professional service that we are used to provide. Best Regards, Guest Relations Manager Yevgenya Arushanyan Best Western Congress Hotel

This is a very good hotel in nice location in Yerevan. It offers friendly service from the staff, a nice breakfast, good onsite restaurant for Italian food, and good facilities. This is my third stay in the hotel and it is comfortable place to stay. Good quality for the money.

Hello Dear Glen W, Thank you very much for leaving the review. We really value your opinion about our hotel. Happy to know that you liked the location of our hotel which is next to the Republic square. It's a pleasure for us to know that you liked our " Raffaello" restaurant which offers the most delicious American buffet breakfast and here you can try not only Italian but also Armenian cuisine. Our team is always doing their best to manage your stay in a most comfortable way. Thank you once more and hope to see you again in our hotel. Best Regards, Karapet Galfayan Reception Staff Best Western Congress Hotel Yerevan.

The BW Congress is not too far off the main square. You walk into the hotel and you are greeted by a troupe of very friendly front desk folks. They are some of the most hospitable, friendly, and helpful people I've met in my years of traveling around the world. They go out of their way to make sure your stay is as close to perfect as possible. The room staff cleans the rooms to an exceptionally high level of cleanliness. The atmosphere around the hotel is that of friendliness. The Best Western chain should look at this place to see how to run their other hotels. It's definitely recommended. The one thing that stands out above all else...the breakfast. One of the best breakfast setups I've seen. Lots of different things for breakfast. You'll need to be careful or you'll walk out heavier than you were when you walked in. The outdoor pool is large and the only drawback is that the hotel sells memberships to the general population. So on a hot day it can get a little crowded. Every month or so they have a party around the pool such as first day of spring, halloween, or whatever. They'll have the bar open and food and there will be a band. The pool is closed though. The general population can buy tickets to attend while hotel guests are free. They are actually fun to go to. Would I recommend this hotel?? Absolutely!!!!

Congress hotel is a comfortable hotel, well located and convenient particularly for business. The facilities are not extraordinarily attractive, the rooms rather small and bathroom equipment not fully up to the latest standards, but the premises are well maintained and practical. Staff is always available to help, and the breakfast buffet offers very good quality and variety of food. The restaurant is a bit more depressing, both in terms of environment and cuisine (apart from the pizzas).

I tried another hotel in the city for the exact same price. That was a totally different league. Congress is a standard rather high class hotel. Nothing flashy, but just what you need. Clean and modern, with black pearl tiles in the bathroom. The beds are soft and seems almost new. Nothing negative except one thing: I asked to have the temperature lowered and they did not manage for some reason. Despite the frozen winter it was probably more than 30 degrees in the room, and i needed to have the window open. You will hopefully not meet this problem. Probably was it just bad luck. I will still choose the same hotel next time I am in Yerevan.

This was my second hotel in Yerevan (I was forced to change hotel because I visited when there was the commemoration of the genocide) and I stayed here one night. This hotel was quite expensive but it provided excellent rooms.

After a six month mission in Armenia the Congress is now my one and only choice for stays in Yerevan. So time for a second review as the mark of a good hotel is consistency and improvement. The quality of the rooms is excellent - comfortable, quiet and very claen. Housekeeping really do their job well - discretely and perefectly. Even due to the late night departures and arrivals they service the rooms without disturbing. Front of house deal with every need - bookings, taxis, printing documents and dealing with troublesome tired guests - with a genuine friendliness and attention to detail. And the restaurant is a real gem - for the business traveller that needs to eat alone (Armenia is not designed for solo diners) - you are made to feel special and welcome, food is excellent - well cooked and presented, the specials menu evolves weekly, and the service from the Restaurant team headed up by Karine is spot on. Even now knowing many good options in Yerevan - I get drawn back each time to eat here. Book here and you will not be disappointed... a good quality hotel run by good management with excellent staff... you will return again - trust me.... now back to my steak and glass of Karas!

I stayed here once again on a recent trip to Yerevan and found the quality and service of the hotel to still be very good. The hotel arranged airport pickup and despite my flight being 5 hours late the driver was there and I was glad to not have to wait to get to the hotel at early hour of the morning. Check in was very quick and I could get a couple hours of sleep before staring my work. The bed was comfortable and the room nicely furnished. The only problem I had this time was the room was too warm and even turning off the heating did not help. The only alternative was to open the window but this proved a bit uncomfortable. The restaurant still offers good food and service, the breakfast is very good with plenty of selections. Overall, a good stay and will recommend this to others traveling to Yerevan.

A decent Hotel for a short stay. Clean and comfortable, well kept rooms. Good food especially for foreigners. The Highlight is the location. Located in the city center. many places in the city can be visited by foot. The only negative thing I can say is about the maintenance.... the air condition was not working during our stay in our room and it was not fixed for our entire duration of stay ( 4 days). we had to keep the windows open for the winter breeze to cool the room but it was a problem at night - bitterly cold if you keep the windows open and very warm if you close it!

It is a very decent hotel, comfortable and clean with wonderful staff who would go out of their way to help the guests. The location is very convenient as well, close to the city center. The best feature of this hotel is the pool, which is well kept and a very pleasant place to relax. The breakfast is very good with lots of choices including fruits and pastries. I very much enjoyed staying in this hotel and would recommend it highly to people who are not looking for luxury accommodation but a clean and comfortable environment with reasonable prices. It has good WiFi in the rooms and in the lobby.

All good things about this hotel were said in previous reviews and I am happy to confirm them all from my experience. Great location, nice clean room and comfortable beds, good swimming pool, delicious fresh breakfast...Most of all very helpful and friendly personnel who made every effort to accommodate our requests: front desk, cleaning staff, waiters, bell boys and a very kind, knowledgeable and efficient General manager, Mr. Luciano Casagrande. Also I must mention my correspondence prior to booking a room in the hotel, with Ms. Shushan Poghosyan from the Sales and Reservation department. All my mail messages were replied promptly and correctly , assuring us we have a welcoming place to stay , as it turned out to be.

Nothing wildly exciting about this hotel, but then again it's probably not trying to be anything but very decent. Service is good and very friendly, the place feels very clean, and there's none of the tacky ex-socialist feel that pervades some hotels in Yerevan. Rooms small but perfectly adequate. Good for a business hotel : probably less so for a holiday.

I enjoyed the pool the most. Great pool with very friendly bar staff. Checkin was a little slow and the breakfast expensive, but the taste was okay. Rooms were nice and as expected. The best hotel I tried in Yerevan.

Friendly and helpful staff nearly always smiling, clean and comfortable room, fabulous breakfast buffet, very nice pool area, short walk to central part of downtown, safe neighborhood, strong and easily accessible wifi. What else can you ask for? Very nice stay at this hotel.

Many business and diplomats I know Stay here. Reputation for best value amongst premium hotels in Yerevan Rooms are clean and comfortable but nothing to write about. Pool is great. Best place to stay in the hot season. Best pool in town. Nice little bar.
