The best option in town only for lack of any better options. This simple centrally located hotel feels very Soviet, but it's kept reasonably clean and the rooms are brightly painted. Staff don't speak English and breakfast (AMD2000) is served in the cafe next door. Light sleepers beware: rooms with balconies onto the street can get annoyingly loud at night.
