Orbeli Hotel Yerevan

Located between 2 Metro Stations, accessible by walk from both. 24 hours running shops are easily found nearby. Room shape is a bit strange but it is very clean and comfortable, shower is strong enough and central heating system works well, bed is comfy, breakfast quality is superb and quite satisfactory, I liked the peach and apricot juice very much.

This is my second review for this hotel, first one is that they send us to other hotel, but after returning here the next day almost everything was fine, room was super pretty, had a small balcony and a window, small kitchen even microwave, it was new and clean, shower was fine, staff was friendly, manager treated us with wine and fruits. Only minus was the poor breakfast that we were unable to digest first 2 days then didn't eat at all and that during one week stay they never changed our bedsheets...overall experience was good, thanks for your effort and please improve we will come again.

This is one of the best hotels to stay in Yerevan (long or short term)! Very clean rooms and common areas, nicely decorated and quiet, great hospitality and service, phenomenal views and home-like comfort. Free buffet-style breakfast offers a wide variety to chose from.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff, good location. Excellent breakfasts with nice changing daily variety. Enjoyed the wonderful views of Ararat. Overall a pleasure.

Orbeli made my week in Yerevan truly special. We got together with a team of colleagues/friends and most of our time together was spent in my hotel room. Staff were incredibly attentive and caring. I was given extra tableware and utensils, and the cleaning service took extra care to match my schedule. Their breakfast is lovely (I miss the crepes already!) and front desk super responsive and helpful. Everyone speaks English too. I can't recommend Orbeli enough. PS Anushik is an amazing person who treated me and my kid like family during my stay. She took great care of us and our living space, and I was really moved by her professionalism, integrity and humanity.

This is a small hotel, just seven floors and four rooms on each hotel, but it has a huge amount going for it and is strongly recommended. The best rooms are at the back (rooms 74, 64, 54, etc), for two reasons: one is the imposing view of Mt Ararat way to the south over the Turkish border and the other is that they are the quietest. The rooms have fridge, microwave, sink, and plates and cutlery, so you can eat in if you want: we stayed for ten days and did so several times. Don't bother getting your own breakfast, though: the breakfasts here are superb, with an amazing range to satisfy even picky eaters! The hotel is on the junction of Bagramian Avenue, which is one of the main artery roads, and Orbeli Street, so taxis can find it easily. We enjoyed being out of the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, where many hotels are: a short walk down Bagramian will get you to the Bagramian stop on the Metro and from there it is two stops to Republic Square; or, as we often did, you can walk down Bagramian, which is tree-lined, and get the Metro back. There are several handy supermarkets near the hotel in the direction of the Metro and a large, fancier one down Orbeli; also, if you go up Bagramian beyond the Orbeli junction there are several great food shops on the same side of Bagramian as the hotel. The staff are wonderful and unfailingly kind, friendly and completely trustworthy. The lady who cleaned our room was Iranian with a good command of English and a fascinating person to talk to. Down in the breakfast room, at the front desk and throughout the hotel the staff are exceptional. They arranged a car with driver for us at a very reasonable rate and we took advantage of that to go to Lake Sevan; we made several other trips with the same driver and he eventually drove us up to Dilijian as well. Lastly, let's face it, you're not going to learn the Armenian script for a short stay. But you might learn the Russian script and/or bring a Russian phrase book, as a lot of signage is in Russian as well as Armenian but not Roman (eg the Metro). 'Good morning' in Armenian is easy - 'Barry Lewis' - and the staff really appreciated us saying that. 'Thank you' is more of a challenge - 'shnor-haka-loo-tyoon' - but it is worth make the effort to learn because of the smiles it brings out!

My friend and I were visiting another friend who lives next door to this hotel, and we stayed for 11 days. What a find! The hotel was very clean, quiet, and had well-appointed rooms with comfortable beds and a great bathroom. Plus, a nice balcony. Great breakfast! Close to the metro and bus lines, as well as wine shops and grocery stores. Our room was ta the back and most days we had a great view of Mt. Ararat when it wasn't clouded over. Staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend this hotel if you are in Yerevan.

The facilities are excellent, and so is the breakfast. Service is very good, with staff speaking English.
