Sakharov Hostel & Tours

Nice and cosy hostel located just a couple of minutes of walk from Republic Square close to many attraction and shops ,slightly away main streets so in quiet zone , you can sleep well undisturbed by noise of the city. If someone likes to feel like in grandma home and to taste home maded breakfast I can strongly recommend it.

hostel owners are very kind. I felt like I was resting in my grandmother house.

Every thing was good but the room was a little cold.

Easy to find and central. Not much, it was difficult to find. Eventually I realise that it’s a room in someone’s house, which is fine but that is not what the advertisement says.

There was nothing to like. They are very liars and frauds.

The hospitality of the place is incredible. I would return a thousand times. I felt at home. The breakfast was delicious. I liked everything

location is great. nothing

Good

The hostel is managed by a local couple who live there and and every morning they make local breakfast with very typical, good and tasty product like cheese, apricot jam, lavash, local ham, eggs and very good tea!

The owners are nice and hospitable. Feels like you have another parents in that place. ?

The very kind lady that runs it, does an amazing job, she is very nice and hospitable. The accommodations are very basic, yet they do the trick. I also like that they have several signs posted in the surrounding blocks that guide you to the property. It’s a good thing I’m not allergic to cats, otherwise I couldn’t have stayed there. Yes, the kitties are cute and all, but they roam around freely, mostly in the kitchen area. I know that some folks like their pets more than they like people, myself included, but when you’re hosting perfect strangers into your home for profit, you have to be more considerate and businesslike. Also, on one of the nights the guy of the house carried on a pretty loud conversation with (a neighbor?) well past midnight. There’s also very little if any enforcing of not smoking indoors, especially on the basement level.

I'm astonished a place like this can have such a high rating. I can only assume people are willing to overlook a lot because the owner is very hospitable. This place was cheap and in a great, central location (although one that taxi drivers struggled to find) But it was incredibly dingy, the room felt dark, old carpets, the bedding was like what you would find at your grandma's. The walls are incredibly thin, and you could smell people smoking outside/in other rooms. The whole place could use a revamp. The bathroom was interesting, two showers in open cubicles and a toilet in a lockable room, which sometimes had a very questionable smell when you walked past. It was really difficult to get hot water, I had several cold showers. The breakfast was nice but sometimes it seemed like just what the host found in her fridge that morning. I don't know what I expected for this price, next time in Yerevan I would go somewhere else and pay more.

The location! Very noisy, musty, stench of smoke, stench of cat feces.

Pleasant

The owners of the hostel are true jewels. They are friendly and helpful in every way possible. The home made breakfast is purely Armenian delicious. And the location is central but quiet.

I love the owner on how they manage our stay . Also the good location which was very accessible to your travel needs . Nothing

Easy access to the city.. N/a

Absolutely loved my stay at hostel Salharov ( I originally booked 3 nights and ended up staying 2 weeks!). The breakfast in the morning is a delicious array of lavash bread with Armenian cheese, apricot jam as well as eggs, porridge or other Armenian dishes depending on the day. Not only this but the owners are some of the kindest people you will meet and are always offering and giving great food, sometimes tiring your breakfast included into a breakfast, lunch and dinner included. The location is close to perfect, being just a 5 minute walk to republic square and lots of nice restaurants. The beds are comfy and the hostel warm and cozy. And of course don’t forget to say hello to the lovely cats who like me, got their fair share of free food from the lovely owners. Overall, can’t recommend staying here enough if you are in Yerevan. Nothing.

Nothing 1.We had reserved breakfast for 3 days, but they only brought us 2 repeated breakfasts and the rest of the previous breakfasts and did not give us a breakfast on the last day. 2.Without our permission, when we were outside the hostel, they had moved personal belongings and bags to the front of the courtyard door and brought another guest even though there were still 2 hours left to check out.and threw us out 3.The lady and the man who owned the hostel disrespectfully complained about the use of the gas stove, kettle and bathroom, even though we only showered once during our 3-night stay and only cooked 2 omelette meals. 4.Passengers should not be expected to wake up at 11 o'clock, and we used to wake up at 7:30 a.m. for city tours or nature tours, and they disrespected and forced us to wake up.

Very good
