Berlin Art Hotel

Armenia

LoginSave

This hotel was built as an accommodation wing for the German hospital that shares the same premises. It has a charming garden, cheerful dining area (dinner AMD4000 to AMD5000) and simple rooms that feel a tad too much like hospital rooms but have good beds and satellite TV. Paintings and sculptures by local artists adorn every wall.

The staff here are extremely helpful and can answer any question about travel within and around the city. Shirak Tours, a respected local tour operator, is also based here.
