The landlady is very hospitable. Although she said that she cannot accommodate me eventhough i had a reservation, she gave her personal room to me to use.
When I reached the hostel, they said that they can't accommodate me because it is full and asked me to look for another hostel. I paid exactly the price I booked for 15,000 Armenian Dram, but the lady said that i should pay extra for the 4th day as the amount is good for 3 days only. I was forced to leave early on the 4th day (6am) coz the room that they gave me is the personal room of the landlady and otherwise I will be charged another 5,000 Dram extra.
There should be a clear communication regarding booking and reservation

I woke up in the middle of the night, scratching my entire body, checked the bed and found bedbugs in it.
I went to the lady, showed her the bedbug (see pic) and told her I couldn't stay there. She showed no surprise at all, threw money on the table and said "Ok, you can go". I asked if she could help me finding another room (it was 2am), she went back to bed and left me alone.
I checked booking and realized that bedbugs had already been mentioned in May...
Waited on the balcony for sunrise to get out of the place, the owners (both) didn't seem to care.
In the morning, her husband told I was the one who brought the bedbugs and when I mentioned seeing it in a booking comment, he said "Oh yes a Russian guy brought them a few days ago".
After that, the lady came to me, told me that it was a traveler who came the night before who had brought them. I told her that they kept changing their stories and I didn't care or want to hear them. She said "For me no problem, I give you money back so no problem".
As for the less dramatic inconvenients : very strong smell of cat pee on the stairs carpet and in the bathroom.
Place is not very clean.
Dorm is a weird space opening on two bedrooms and the kitchen so doors keep on being opened and closed.

Good location. Central in Yerevan, close to Republic Square, but still in a quiet neighborhood. Hostel owners were kind with freshly made breakfast every morning.
There was not always hot water in the showers.

I stayed for 2 nights at Carina’s place, it was very good, they’re sweet, caring and kind. it was like staying with my grandparents; they offered me dinner and always checked if I’m hungry. they have tea and coffee available all day. it is there house and they live there so it is more of a guesthouse than a hostel but I loved it.
i was also there alone with no other guests, which was nice.
the toilets weren’t the best, but overall okay

The best thing about this accommodation are the owners, very nice people, always helpful and willing to give advice. Great location of the hostel in the city center.
Sometimes it took a while for the hot water to start running.

The location is great right in the center but at the same time it is quiet to have a peaceful night's sleep. The owners are very helpful, kind and welcoming. The breakfast is good. If i need somewhere to stay i will definitely stay there again. :)

The location is good and the staff kind and helpful.
The women’s dormitory is basically just separated by a curtain, so no real privacy, I had some Iranian guy waiting for me to be alone to come by the curtain and talk to me, which was really uncomfortable. We also hear everything from the kitchen, people talking loudly until 1 or 2am is a problem. Especially when they start to move the bed around and turn in the light…
3.0 / 5.0
The hosts really wants to help you and are nice.
The location is very central.
There is a window on the door of the double room and it is just next to the dorm (which does not have a wall but only a curtain). Therefore, it gives you the impression to be in the dorm with the other guests.
The cleanliness of the shower and the toilets could be improved.
The breakfast is average.
No AC and no fan in the double room so it can be very hot during summer.
0.5 / 5.0
Nothing to like there,unless you like to pay to stay in a dumpster with lots of smoking peeves coughing their lungs out and involve in fights after getting drunk
