Kantar Hostel is at 10 Deghatan Street in Kentron, roughly a three-minute walk from Republic Square. It offers a double room with shared bathroom, shared dormitories with four or eight beds, and women-only dorms, one of which has a private bathroom. Rooms have air conditioning and city views, and guests get a free breakfast buffet, free self-parking and Wi-Fi. Communal kitchens, in-room lockers, a game room, laundry services, a 24-hour business centre and a lobby tea and coffee area round out the facilities, and pets are accepted with a deposit and fee. For backpackers, solo travellers and anyone on a tight budget, it puts the whole centre of Yerevan within walking distance.
Location and getting around: from the hostel you can walk to Republic Square in a few minutes and reach the Cascade, the Opera and the cafe streets on foot. Nearby sights listed on the booking page include the Blue Mosque, the Yerevan Circus and the National Gallery. The airport is about twenty-five minutes by car, and the hostel can arrange a shuttle on request for a per-vehicle surcharge, which is useful if you arrive at night. A metro station is a short drive away, and taxis are cheap.
Rooms and who it suits: the choice runs from a private double with shared bathroom to four- and eight-bed dorms, with women-only options. It suits solo travellers, backpackers and groups of friends who want to save money and meet other people, and the communal kitchens make longer stays easier. Light sleepers should pick the smaller dorm or the double, and everyone should bring earplugs for a city-centre location.
What is good to know: check-in begins at three in the afternoon and check-out is at noon. Breakfast is included in the listing, and free parking is a rare bonus in the centre if you rent a car for day trips. Because the hostel has no verified official website, we link to its Expedia page for rates and availability. Hostels also arrange tours, so ask at reception about group trips to Garni and Geghard or Lake Sevan, which can lower the cost per person.
