Smile Guest house

Отличное расположение, рядом с дорогой по пути в Ереван. Это было важно, так как ехали из Грузии, Шекветели. И после 2 КПП, надо было не сворачивая глубоко в город, где-то переночевать. А отель идеально вписался в маршрут! Номера очень чистые, все удобства есть. Важно было наличие парковки, так как приехали на машине. Парковка на территории отеля, за воротами. Хозяева: Ара, Серине и их сын Ашот, как и положено, с наивысшей степенью армянского гостеприимства! Радушно встретили, всё рассказали! Ощущение, что приехали к родственникам! Природа отличная, воздух свежий, вокруг горы, река. Хоть и оставались на 1 ночь, но прекрасно отдохнули с дороги! И да важные моменты, есть бассейн и теннисный стол, отдельная зона для шашлыка, с каменным мангалом. Большая веранда со столами и креслами, с видом на горы. И рядом есть мойка самообслуживания, очень удобно! Как раз утром помыл машину. Завтрак включен был, но на двоих это всё не съесть))! Так много всего! Всё своё, домашнее: мёд, яйца, варенье из малины и ежевики) После такого плотного завтрака, теннисный стол к месту, поиграли) Рекомендую!!! --- Excellent location, close to the road to Yerevan. This was important, as we were driving from Shekveteli, Georgia. After the second checkpoint, we needed somewhere to spend the night without detouring too far into the city. And the hotel fit perfectly! The rooms are very clean and have all the amenities. Parking was important, as we arrived by car. Parking is on the hotel grounds, outside the gates. The hosts, Ara, Serine, and their son Ashot, showed the highest level of Armenian hospitality, as expected! They greeted us warmly and told us everything! It felt like visiting family! The scenery is wonderful, the air is fresh, and there are mountains and a river all around. Even though we only stayed one night, we had a wonderful rest from the road! And last but not least, there's a pool and table tennis table, as well as a separate barbecue area with a stone grill.

My brother and I had a great stay at Smile guesthouse. Everyone we interacted with were very friendly and helpful, especially the host. We stayed in the twin room and it was very comfortable and had many amenities along with the en-suite bathroom and a mini fridge. We were very grateful for the well working air conditioning and the WiFi. The hot water does seem to run out very quickly and take a long time to replenish. The location was right along the main road and then behind it was a nice river and views of the surrounding green mountains. There is also a grocery store there on the property and a great shawarma and pizza shop just down the road. They provided a great breakfast for us each morning with bread, tomatoes, cucumber, cheese, jam, and a few differing items we enjoyed trying each morning along with some tea. The property is very nice with Mountain View’s, a pool, ping pong table, bench swings and a beautiful patio. We took a minibus from Tbilisi and had the bus driver drop us off on the main road in front of the guesthouse. When it was time for us to leave, the host and family was very helpful in contacting the local mini-busses and arranging pickup and helping us figure out the transportation to the next town on our way to Dilijan. The family only knows a little English but it was not a problem and they were so warm and welcoming. I would definitely return! :)
