Viatges Ararat

The hotel location was excellent. Nice complementary breakfast served by the sweetest lady called Tamar. Thanks!

Breakfast needs work. Owners are friendly.

Fantastic view from the restaurant but unfortunately not from our "mountain view" room. Food was ok but portions were small in relation to other hotels in Armenia. Very clean, modern hotel with a warm swimming pool.

A cozy hotel (closer to a B&B) in the Areni village of Vayots Dzor. We stayed in the off season and were, consequently, the only two guests on that day. In addition to managing the hotel, the owner, Eric, has a small-production winery with some very decent vintages. We were offered a tour of the winery (located in the basement of the hotel) and a tasting of his wines. We arrived quite late in the day. We asked if dinner was available (at an additional cost). Even though the chef had already left for the day, the hotel was able to accommodate us with a filling and tasty hot dinner. Breakfast, which was included in the price, was a standard Armenian breakfast (omelet with tomatoes, jam, cheese, etc.). There was no cappuccino, unfortunately, as the hotel does not have an espresso machine, but the Armenian coffee was well made. The hotel is rated 3 stars, but I would suggest a rating closer to 4 stars based on the condition of the rooms and the quality of the food.
