    Hostel was very nice, dorm was comfortable, bathroom cleaned. Lovely area to sit outside of the hostel. Plenty od bikes to rent. Owner speaks english a little bit but its was enough to communicate. He was helpful and kind. He also have small shop where you can buy some snacks.

    It was warm in the wooden cover of the beds, due to the construction.

    The place to sit outside was so nice!

    Nothing really

    The common area. The location. The owner Pop is very nice. Close to supermarket, the center and the lake.

    It was a bit chilly at night, though I didn't ask about a heater or whether the heating could be turned on — just slept in a hoodie.

    Nice-looking hostel, fairly clean. Nothing much to add — solid quality for a reasonable price.

    I strongly advise you not to rent a bicycle at the Lake Sevan Hostel. The bicycles are old and somehow malfunctioning. Gears don't work well, and the saddle is not stable. To me, it's definitely not worth AMD 5'000.- a day. I reported these defaults to the owner of the hostel. He declined all critics against his bicycles and declared they were fair enough for tourists... I am not sure he drives bicycles himself. Anyway, a taxi would be much cheaper and more convenient than a bicycle to reach the Peninsula.

    I was the only guest, since I travelled to Sevan outside high season. All worked fine for me. The shower is first cold, but if you are patient, warm water is flowing.

    I stayed at Lake Sevan Hostel in the winter, just before Christmas, so the town of Sevan was very quiet, and I ended up being the only guest at the hostel. While this made for a calm and peaceful stay, it might feel a bit too quiet for those looking for more social interactions. Bob, the owner, was a kind and helpful host, always ready to assist with anything I needed. The hostel itself had a cozy atmosphere, and the facilities were decent for the price. If you're visiting Sevan during the off-season and enjoy solitude, this could be a good option. I’d rate it 7 or 8 out of 10.

    Located in the village of Sevan, which doesn't offer a lot. Lake is close by but monastery is 1,5 hrs walk along the main road. Mattresses are not the best.

    The hosts were lovely even if they didn't speak English. Well equipped kitchen and nice little terrace.

    The mattress was not that great but for the price it’s not that big of a deal.

    The person was very welcoming, the place has sort of a terrace which was very enjoyable, the place was quite clean.

    I wanted to extend my stay, but as a digital nomad working from 5 pm to 2 am Armenia time, I couldn't find a suitable spot to work. So, I decided to move on.

    Great hostel to chill out! The beds are comfortable, and the location is excellent. The owner is friendly, even though he doesn't speak English.

    13 beds in the room so it's very cramped. One bed is in the centre with 4 chairs giving it privacy so there's no space for anyone's stuff when it's full. WiFi not the best. Bit expensive for the size of the room.

    Nice location with the shop of the owner next door and bigger shop the other side of the building. Near the cafes and shops. You can walk to the Lake easily by walking across the highway. It's not busy enough to be dangerous. You can rent scooter for 10k a day and a bike for 5k a day. Mini kitchen and small fridge for keeping things. The outdoor area is very nice but I imagine more so in summer. Small table in the common space but you can hear everything in the bedroom so outside of summer there's not somewhere really good for chilling. 2 bathrooms but wasn't really a problem for 1 room of 13 people max.

    The location isn't that much meditative: some building debris, old soviet buildings around... Well, it depends on the viewer.

    The capsule beds are great. Two exceptionally clean toilets. The terrace is great for socialization. Nice little kitchen. Hospitable stuff. A couple of shops nearby.

    I think the price is too high for a 10 bed dorm in a small town like Sevan, but it's probably due to the lack of alternatives. Two toilets is not enough for 12 people staying in the dorm. The only problem Is that the cleaning lady started cleaning the room at 9:30 while I was having breakfast and when I got back I had no bed linen and towel anymore - quite too early for a check-out.

    The hostel is modern, has a kitchen and a really cozy outside area. The dorm has 10 beds, but the room is quite big. The staff is friendly, the location is good.

    Gets the job done

    Two shower/toilet rooms for 12-15 people (dorm plus the private room) proved to be really inconvenient and bothersome. Probably spent more time waiting for the toilet than exploring the lake. Mattresses were pretty awful, and two extra bunks (4 extra beds) were added on each side of the room, so you might not get the "pod" type bed pictured with privacy curtain. Cleanliness could be improved a bit.

    Really the only option in Sevan, gets the job done. Host is kind, facilities are fine. Kitchen and bathroom are small but functional. Good vibes and good people. Outdoor terrace area was really lovely!

    The bed was uncomfortable and the Lake is not close by. Since a highway separates the Lake from the hostel.

    I like the curtains for the beds. The host was very helpful.
