Kantar Hostel

One of the best hostel I ever stayed. 24hours reception, very helpful and attentive. It's extremely clean, the cleaning ladies don't do the cleaning once per day, as in majority of places, the do it several times a day in common areas, almost after every person! I see them cleaning the common bathrooms at least once per hour! Rooms are spacious, beds are comfy, towels provided, and they change them every 3 days, or right away if they become dirty. I was staying for a week and then prolonged my stay for another week, asked for an extra pillow and got it no problem. Excellent location, everything is in walking distance! AC works great! Lockers divided into 2 spaces, for backpack and laptop and for the big bag. Luggage storage if free of charge, I left to Sevan for 2 days and came back. Coworking space is very calming and cozy. You've got big variety of places to work from. Also, desks in every tooms, big amount of sockets everywhere, very thoughtfull. Breakfast is amazing, at least 3 types of eggs, cereal/pasta, salads and vegetables, meat options, fruits, cottage cheese, yoghurt, several beverage options and free coffee during the breakfast. Wow!

This is apparently THE place to stay in Yerevan. It was bustling, so a good place to meet people or socialize. The breakfast was insane - a huge amount of amazing food (I didn't need to eat all day!). The staff were very helpful and made you feel welcome. The co-working space was a nice surprise. The private room and the dorms were both comfortable and clean. It was very secure and safe, which is always a positive in a big city. Please note it's kind of a hybrid hostel/hotel. There are travelers but also some families / more standard hotel guests (and children). Great place overall.

Great location as it was VERY close to many things in town. Twenty minutes north is the opera and Cascades, but about ten minutes in the same direction is the history museum and Republic Square. In the other direction is an outdoor gym PERFECT for getting your swole on! Limited machines, but plenty of parkour training options and punching tire stack. This city itself has drinking fountains everywhere with cold, clean drinking water! Back to the hostel, lol- the beds are clean and comfortable, the tea is free 24/7 and the coffee is free during breakfast! Breakfast could be it's own paragraph- where to start!? You've got eggs that come in three varieties- scrambled, sunny side-up and boiled. There's usually a second main dish such as grisha or rice. Plenty of side options with leafy green salad, various cheeses including cottage, coffee, juice, tea, granola, yoghurt, raisins, walnuts, various kind or preserved meats. There's a dedicated workspace which I'm currently using to type this review with beanbags and various seating options. Dope music all the time, no disrespect to Bob Marley, but I feel that some hostels and coffee shops overdo it on Bob Marley. Kantar, true to her name, has a good mix of music to hear at all times.

As a female solo traveler, it was my first time staying in a hostel, and I definitely loved it here. The services were great, and the rooms and washrooms were cleaned daily. The roommates I had were super sweet and friendly people. I landed early, and David kindly allowed me to check in ahead of time. The breakfast was delicious and definitely worth the price. While the dishes were more or less the same every day, I personally loved them. One day, I had to leave early for a tour, so I went to the kitchen at 7:30am to grab my coffee. I informed the kitchen staff that I wouldn’t be able to stay for breakfast, which starts at 8am, but they were kind enough to offer me the items that were already ready, which I really appreciated. The hostel is also very close to Republic Square, just a 5-minute walk and the location is extremely convenient. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

The hostel is simply awesome. I had previously stayed at other hostels and this one was better in terms of hygiene, security, and the staff. What was particularly nice about this hostel is its study area that is separate from the common breakfast room, where you can also sit and enjoy your free cups of tea. All in all, if you are a fan of hostels, this one is highly recommended with the nice staff, reasonable pricing, and a delicious breakfast.
