Orion Hostel

The neighborhood is noisy all day, with thin walls and neighbors moving furniture at night. If you’re opening a hotel in this area, soundproof windows are the least you could provide. The location itself is amazing, but when we checked into the apartment it smelled strongly, as if the previous residents had cooked heavily spiced food. The sheets had all kinds of stains and didn’t look bleached enough. I wasn’t happy with the cleanliness.

The bed was super comfortable, and after long days exploring, it was great to come back to it. My single room on the hostel side was just the right size for one person, comfortable without feeling cramped. The place was clean and had a relaxed vibe, and the location was very good. The affordable price made it a great fit for traveling on a budget, and having breakfast included made the stay feel even more worthwhile. The slippers were a bit too thin for my taste, so I’d bring your own slippers and toiletries. I’d definitely recommend Orion to solo travelers or anyone on a budget.

A good hostel in Yerevan, with a simple Western-style breakfast included. You can book either a single room or a shared-bed room. The bathroom was clean, but there wasn’t a good place to hang clothes in the shower, and shampoo and body wash weren’t provided. They did supply a thin pair of slippers and two towels.

It’s clean, affordable, and in a convenient spot in the city center. Breakfast is included, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the hosts are great. Staff are very polite and kind. There isn’t much room in the dorm for gathering your things, and the kitchen is small. I’d also like more privacy in the showers. Parking can be a problem in the city center.
