Shirak Hotel

The rooms are small and closed. There is no computer at the front desk, handwriting office. not good.

We stayed for 6 nights in mid-June 22. The junior suite on the 13th floor had a window into the courtyard, not the park. It's a bit of a pity, but we only slept in the room, so there were no complaints about the view. The main thing is that it was quiet. Of course, the doors are not particularly soundproofed, and if you come across noisy neighbors, you will hear it. We were lucky. The hotel is not very new, but there are no complaints about the plumbing and air conditioning. The sleeping area was dented, so to soften it, an extra mattress was placed on the wide double bed instead of a mattress. blanket. Which made it hotter than it could have been. Well, the pillows are flat and uncomfortable. But this is the problem with most hotels. The room did not have the promised safe, they asked at the reception and received an offer to leave the valuables with them (they didn’t want to), but they assured that there were no criminal elements in Yerevan or in their hotel. And so it turned out! That's where the cons end. Breakfast is very varied, for all tastes, both for vegans and for ordinary people. The assor**ent is varied and changing. Salads, cold cuts, national snacks, grilled vegetables, side dishes, muesli, milk porridge, yoghurts, fried eggs, sweets and seasonal fruits. Drinks from the SAS supermarket are tolerable. Tea bags. The coffee, which was very surprising, is instant. There is a large bowl of powder and a dessert spoon. You pour it into your cup individually and dilute it with boiling water. This is probably also a minus. It’s somehow undignified for a 3* hotel not to have a coffee machine. The hotel staff are extremely friendly, welcoming, answer all questions and solve problems. They recognize the guests by sight and give them a key as soon as you approach the counter. A place to store luggage after check-out and until transfer to the airport was provided with lightning speed and free of charge. The location of the hotel is great. 4 minutes and you are in the very center, on the square. Republic, or the same distance and near the Blue Mosque, or on the central M. Mashtots Avenue. Fruit stands a couple of minutes from the hotel in different directions. There are a lot of parks nearby to suit all tastes. There are drinking fountains with perfect water in the parks. Everything is fine. A very adequate hotel for the money.

In the "economy" room everything is really destroyed. The sheet had a hole from a cigarette butt, the light bulbs were partially burnt out, the dishes in the room were dirty, and there was a layer of lime on the shower. The water from the tap smelled appropriate - it seemed that the plumbing had not been changed for half a century. Wi-Fi did not reach the room. They say that the more expensive rooms have better conditions, but there was no desire to check.
