Kantar Hotel

The Kantar hotel is the top 4 floors (floors 7-10) sitting above a hostel (floors 1-6). The elevator is key-fobbed to restrict access between the different guest uses. Quiet, clean, but bare minimum facilities. Rooms, linens, bathrooms were clean. The kitchen/cafeteria offers a free breakfast which I thought was simple but good, and certainly better than the price point would suggest. Not the prettiest nor kid-friendly laneway/street frontage, but the location is less than a minute walk out to the main drag (Vazgen Sargsyan Street) and just a couple minutes more walk to the splendor of Republic Square. As this is soliy in Downtown Yerevan, “everything” is convenient: eating, shopping, site-seeing, banking, walking, Yandex, markets, etc. For the price I paid, Kantar hotel is one of the best values.

It was a family reunion and we had a two-bedroom apartment, which was amazing for our needs. It has a massive living area with open plan kitchen, dining area with big table and living space with sofas and plenty of space for kids to run around. Each bedroom is a very good size, each with en-suit + separate toilet off the main corridor, so no fighting for it :) we used the washing machine couple of times too, which was perfect as travelling with small kids. We generally had most of the things in the appartment, and if we needed anything we could ask reception for it (for example and additional frying pan). The appartment is central and easy walking distance to many attractions. It might not be the most amazing building from outside, and the views were only of the buildings across the road, but certainly was it cosy, very spacious and clean. Would definitely stay again should we visit Yerevan! Very polite and helpful staff too.

My name is Armen. The last time I stayed at this property was back in 2015. I was impressed at that time and I'm impressed now. I have the means and ability to go to much nicer and luxurious hotels, but this was the best value for me and my family. The biggest difference was the staff. After a brief breaking of the ice, they became like family members to me. The care and support we got from them was unmatched. I have been to over 20 other countries, and I'm comparing the service to the services of those hotels. Starting with Onik, Tamar, Haik, Nina, Parour, the entire wonderful / amazing kitchen staff. There are a few other names that I'm forgetting. I want to send my regards to them and to the management team for selecting such great talent / personnel. I do have an email correspondence with the owner (Armen) from 5 years ago, I asked if I can invest or purchase one of the units there. If the owner is still Armen, I wanted to say hello and congratulate you for significantly improving the hotel accommodations and making my 2 week trip with my family full of good memories. We will be back (to Kantar).

The hotel is 2 buildings away from the main road which make it really good as it has the peace (away from the noisy road) but is still very accessible to Republic Square. We got the 2 queen bed room which is perfect for a family of 4. The best thing is it has 2 bathrooms! Yes, 2 Bathrooms which makes it really really good as you do not have to wake up so early to take a bath and prepare for your busy day. The breakfast served is good. The staff really goes extra mile to help you. I have requested for a sewing kit and voila, they have it. I got so happy as compare to the hotel in Georgia (You have to pay for a sewing kit and toothbrush) that we stayed at, it’s for free.
