Avan Plaza

We stayed here because we had already paid and couldn’t cancel, but I wouldn’t choose this place again. The entrance is very basic – no reception desk or proper hotel sign, just a plain door with stairs going up. On arrival, even our taxi driver warned us that this hotel doesn’t have a good reputation in Yerevan and is not suitable for families – supposedly known for hosting call girls. Despite that, the room was very clean, and breakfast was served in the room, simple but decent. However, the AC did not work properly, and even after we complained, they didn’t fix it. Also, the main entrance is always locked, and you have to call so they can unlock it remotely using walkie-talkies – which felt strange but at least it was secure. The staff didn’t speak English at all, which made communication difficult. In general, the place felt a bit shady, but to be fair, we never felt unsafe. Wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re just looking for a cheap stay and don’t mind the odd setup.

The staff are all great though they speak not so much English but understandable and polite. The hotel is further from the city but public transports are available in the bus stop nearby. If you have a car it is very convenient because you have your own parking enclosed beneath your own room.
