I chose this hotel because I didn't like the prices in downtown Yerevan hotels for the quality they offered - and I think I did right. Even though 19 km west of Yerevan, you get there in less than 45 minutes by a local minibus, which runs every few minutes. Plus you are very close to a beautiful and important monastery complex, the airport is less than 10 km away (actually as far away as downtown Yerevan is, but without the traffic). The hotel is clean, nice looking, rooms are spacious, everything was comfortable enough. The only thing I didn't like, but the hotel simply can't change it, is that it's close to a big boulevard crossing, and Armenian drivers seem to be quite noisy until very late at night - roaring engines, honking, powerful car audios... things like that. But I doubt Yerevan would give me more in that sense either.
