The location was nice, the staff were good and spoke English well, the room was comfortable with a nice country style, the food in the restaurant was great and it also appeared as if they had a lot of amenities which I didn’t have the time to take full advantage of. Very nice place

“Great first stop in Armenia to unwind before exploring the rest of the country.”
Cosy room, great place to relax off grid, pool and general facilities. Nearby restaurant is only close option, but food was excellent. Morning swims in the lake and mountain bike ride to next village were highlights. Babken and team were very welcoming.

“Great spot to break up a journey between Tbilisi and Yerevan by car if you fancy a scenic route.”
The remote location on the east shore of lake Sevan is well worth the trip for this oasis like high standard hotel with pool, sun loungers, and fun activities like table tennis etc. The rooms are well sized and thoughtfully designed and decorated with a separate upstairs. Beautiful spot for breakfast overlooking the lake at the nearby restaurant (500m walk).

A little haven of tranquility beside Lake Sevan at the very peaceful end of the lake. Charming host Babken looked after me so well and it will remain forever one of the best memories of my solo m/c trip to the Caucusus

“Great experience!”
We had a great time at this hotel! The building is beautiful, and we loved how they used stone and kept the original style—it gave the place so much charm and character. Our room was very clean and comfortable, which made us feel relaxed right away. But the best part was the staff. Everyone was so welcoming, polite, and kind. They really made us feel at home and looked after us so well. We would definitely love to come back!

“Serene, relaxing and memorable stay at this resort brought memories of my grandparents home.”
The location was serene and away from the main road. My family and I enjoyed the welcoming and helpful staff members, they treated us like family. The meals reminded me of my grandmas cooking and I took every bit of the fresh Sevan air in while enjoying our meals.

“Quiet village life”
The location is fantastic and the pool perfect for swimming. I enjoyed the walk to the restaurant through the village. Breakfast had a lot of local products which I found very tasty. The tea house in the village is worth visiting.

Absolutely fantastic place! Probably the best place I've stayed in Armenia. The hotel is perfect place to relax in silence and completely "recharge". Picturesque location, fresh herbal scented air, beautiful sunsets. The hotel has really nice interiors, Tufenkian's recognizable style. Very clean. Nice open swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna. Great staff. Great place for a quiet holiday. We will definitely return!

“Beautiful quiet getaway”
For a quiet few days away on the far side of Sevan, look no further. The two tiered room is really cool and we loved it. The nearby lake is idyllic, a great 2 days. Also helpful staff organising taxis for us. Excellent food.
