Was very impressed with this hotel. Best hotel I stayed in Yerevan. Very big room size with big balcony providing breath taking views of the city, mountains and hotel swimming pool. Very clean and luxuriously designed. Great outdoor zone with small garden and sitting area. Gym and indoor pool. Quiet. Very close to city center, about 15 minutes drive. The minus of this hotel that they don't take my American visa card, which worked perfectly everywhere else in the city but in this hotel. They need to fix this problem. Not sure if their card machine is not working properly or their bank is not connected to international banks. I could not pay with card in hotel restaurant and at reception while checking out. That caused great inconvenience.
