Aghababyan's Hotel

I recently stayed at Aghababyan's Hotel with my family for five days, and unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the 5-star rating it claims to have. At best, I would rate it as a 4-star hotel, or even a fancy 3-star. Starting with the positives, the family room we stayed in was spacious and clean, which was a great relief. The staff was very polite and welcoming, especially Gurgen, whom we met at the restaurant, and the reception team. Their kindness was one of the few highlights of our stay. However, beyond these points, the experience was disappointing. The breakfast was one of the worst I’ve encountered—limited options, low-quality food, and a lack of hygiene in the restaurant itself. The staff at the restaurant did not speak English, and even using a translator didn’t help them understand a basic request for cooked eggs. The location of the hotel is another drawback. It’s quite far from the city center, making it inconvenient for exploring. Additionally, the restaurant offered hardly any options for lunch or dinner, leaving us frustrated. To make matters worse, during our stay, there were noisy parties either in the hotel or nearby that went on until midnight, disrupting our rest. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this hotel and would not choose to stay here again if I visit Armenia in the future.

Amazing situation Nice breakfast Good clean room Reception friendly and very helpful Big thanks to Nairi Location is a bit far away from city center but not a big deal with car Pool is very nice addition after long day meetings . What's better is that you can always have amazing food within hotel

Terrible hotel! We changed the suite to one that was 2 times smaller and cheaper, while taking even more money than we had when booking the 2 times more expensive one. When I started to be indignant that something was wrong, they only rude me and made me look like an ***** - that this is how everything should be. No reasonable alternatives were proposed. Ruined vacation from day one. I will never return to Armenia!

The hotel is located on a busy road to the west of the capital. The hotel is huge with very spacious halls and common areas. Unfortunately, it looks as the hotel was designed and built by a very stupid architect who had no idea how difficult it is with people with limited mobility to navigate numerous steps without hand rails. Yes, there is a slope to the reception area and someone can help you with the luggage, but in order to get to your rooms you have to climb a big staircase to the lift hall. I repeat that the owners of the hotel spent a lot of money on nice tiles and marble floors but they hired a wrong person to design the rooms and internal spaces. The rooms are huge (instead of 3 rooms on every side of the double corridor a good architect would have planned at lest 5!) with absolutely unnecessary spacious and empty seating area, but the en-suite bathroom is ridiculously tiny and badly planned ( you can wash your hands in a tiny washbasin sitting on the tiny WC at the same time) and the shower cubicle with shaking glass doors is so small and without any light. No place in the bathroom even for a toiletry bag! In general, there is some light provision in the bathroom ( only half of the ceiling lights were functioning) and the lights behind the mirror make it impossible to put a make-up on. The breakfast was included in the price but it will be a very difficult one for a Western tourist. Apart from some scrambled eggs mixed with tomatoes, a couple of fruit yogurts and boiled sausages and eggs the rest dishes on offer would be unknown, unrecognizable and (what is worse) there are no inscriptions explaining what is offered. The tea and coffee table has a ball containing some powder instant coffee and a kettle. There were some tea bags scattered around. There were two dispensers for cereals but they were not working and not dispensing so we were unable to get the cereals we wanted. There was one waiter in the room who was busy topping up some cakes and completely ignored the guests in the breakfast room. So I would say, the service was very poor there. There were some croissants but very dry, hash browns and tomatoes and pasta (do we normally have pasta for breakfast in Europe?) The reception staff was nice and even booked a restaurant for us for the evening meal. But I must say, when ordering a twin room for two adult young men through *********** I was not expecting to be given a room without windows! Fortunately I noticed it when received a confirmation through the website and had to call the hotel in Yerevan myself to change it for a normal room with a window! The nicest experience was the lounge bar (huge and empty as a railway station) but we discovered that there one can be served some snack and even warm dishes delivered from the hotel restaurant. The waiter was nice and accommodating.

The room is so hot it was like a sauna the corridor was colder than my room .. i asked to someone fix the AC and they sent someone and after he fixed it nothing happened they told me we have to wait 30 minutes in this sauna then it will be colder while I’ve waited more than 15 minutes and the AC was stuck at the same temperature.. i wook up from my sleep sweating.. then they told me that they will change the room for me and they sent a guy with the room key and asking me to take all my stuff while i asked him to help me and bring a trolly but nothing happened i took all my stuff by myself and went to the other room, when they opened the other room it was the new disaster, room was not ready, bed was used , balcony door was fully open .. toilet was dirty and the bed was broke .. this is not a real 5 star hotel I won’t give even a half star.. my advice for everyone don’t come and run for your life.

A/C not working, Horrible room, Terrible Pillows and leaking washroom. The only 5 stars part of the hotel is the way it looks from out and the lobby. Staff need to be more friendly. The weather is cold but too hot and warm inside the rooms which makes tourists require the A/C. .
