“Worth coming to Sevan to stay here for one night, just about”

- Obviously, the location is great - Has a ‘Soviet’ feel - Tasty food - Heater provided - Staff were friendly most of the time

Incredible architecture and lovely hosts. It was quite cold in my room but there was a heater. Food in the restaurant was very good, the views from are amazing. You get a panoramic view of the lake, together with Sevanavank.

“Fit for resilient Soviet history enthusiasts”

Historic Soviet site, classic brutalist architecture, it feels like time travel. It’s an original stay for Soviet history enthusiasts. Breakfast in the morning is basic but good eggs and tea.

To sleep in an iconic place like that is just a great experience. The arcitecture, the place the view are great. I had a very generous portion of cheese in the evening. My room was simple but clean.

“Wonderful experience”

Great experience in a true time capsule! Recommended having breakfast to wrap it all up.

Great views of Lake Sevan, fascinating architecture, close walk to the Sevan Monastery which also has nice nighttime views of stars and a 360 view of the area. Also, you can get to a swimming area in about 5 minutes walking, and there's a ping pong table!

To echo comments of others, the chance to stay a night in the historic Sevan Writers' House was wonderful. The views of the lake were super from both the room and restaurant. The gentlemen managing the restaurant and accommodation were polite.

“Historic experience - stay for that!”

This is a historic building that i chose to stay at with an open mind. I had the wonderful experience of the nearby monastery in the quiet time of day (there is a small path at the back of the hotel). I loved the open windows onto the view of the lake and the old architecture and furniture. I found the food in the restaurant well priced and with a good range of options. Staff were decent.

“Great value for experiencing iconic architecture.”

We chose this accommodation for its access to iconic modernist architecture, and the experience was definitely worth it. As a guest, you can explore the building, enjoy the café area, and access the terrace. The staff were very friendly.

“Amazing historical place”

This place is not about the comfort. It is amazing to stay in such an incredible, historic place. We spent the day writing in the cafe area. This is a place for a very specific kind of person who likes this architecture and experience. We loved it!

“A stay to remember”

Wow, what a cool place! If you are into your soviet/brutalism architecture then its well worth the stay. The views from the rooms are amazing and having breakfast overlooking the lake was fantastic. Owners are great too.

“Loved it!”

Location, architecture, restaurant, and historical relevance - all excellent. Just to say that most reviews are pretty much spot on, all the way from the 1-star to the 5-star ones. Which camp you end up in will depend on how you approach the experience, your personal expectations, and your primary reason for visiting.

“Interesting....until they disappointed me by lying.”

Superb view, and quiet location.

“A memorable if not comfortable experience”

The charm of this place is the architecture and the history. An insight into the Soviet world, and the thought of the Soviet writers who once stayed here

Feels like stepping back in time ! If you’re into the history of that era this is a must stay place. It’s not luxury but that’s not the point. All the staff were incredibly friendly, one even giving me a lift to a local restaurant after his shift. The breakfast was delicious and the location is perfect. A real gem !!

“History-soaked, beautiful hotel with a prime location and friendly staff that has seen better days”

Incredible, history-soaked location right on lake Sevan, with a spectacular view from the rooms, and mess hall; a short stroll up the hill also to the Sevanavank Monastery.

Great views of Lake Sevan, fascinating architecture, close walk to the Sevan Monastery which also has nice nighttime views of stars and a 360 view of the area. Also, you can get to a swimming area in about 5 minutes walking, and there's a ping pong table!

Amazing staff super nice ! Food is good and the architecture is incredible. So much history in one place 🥹

“A fabulous experience.. but not for everyone”

You dont go to this hotel for the service or the amenities...you go for the ambience, history, view and convenience to the Monastery. This is a gem of a hotel, but its not luxury and it is probably not for everyone but I loved it.

If you like to enjoy an authentic experience, that's the right place. I loved the building and the view of the lake from the balcony of my room. Don't miss the resturant in the rotunda.
