"I stayed a week at Envoy Hostel. It was very convenient to stay down town to access Resto, Bar and the life of Yerevan. I think this hostel is of international standard in all respects: welcoming staff, clean place, even nice customer. I love my stay in Armenia for 2 months and 3 weeks. I was at the opening of the Rock bar. It is small but near and the music is good. The owner speaks many languages and the friends are great. I suggest French resto if you have budget for good food. Thanks to people of Envoy Hostel to make my stay unforgettable. " - December 2008

The warmth I felt, reminded me of my beloved Italy. Their availability and smiles help to live the journey in an optimistic and warm way. Everything at envoy is clean and comfortable. I should not say it, but I’m Italian so…receptionists are very nice! Gevorg and David are “only” very kind (hey! I’m a man). So…this is definitely the RIGHT PLACE!...what else…ah!...BERLUSCONI…”m”… BACI e ABBRACCI!

I can say . Great.. It was really a chance to find here by internet. The
circumstance was so pleasant that helped me to stop smoking after 25 years!
When you compare it to $80 hotels staying in boring rooms then you feel that
it was a chance to find here. I stayed in the meeting room four hours not to
watch TV but speaking with other travelers from different countries. I
enjoyed it I think I should thank the manager and nice staff working here
and I think I will not forget that somewhere like Envoy can help you feel at
home at every point in the world. Thank you again for so much kindness and

Tour Comments
Our tour guests have quoted:
"We did 3 tours with Envoy: the Enlightened Armenia. The village life tour and a 2 day tour to Goris and Tatev Monastery. Especially the last one was wonderful . also the Village (where Gevorg's relatives live) was unique and very interesting. Our favorite guide was Marina . always ready for an Armenian joke. Thanks a lot for these great experiences we wouldn.t have had alone." - May 2010

"I enjoyed 3 tours during my stay at Envoy. The two were quiet ordinary, normal places but were made unique by the tour guide Marina. Marina's knowledge of, and enthusiasm for her country were remarkable. Her knowledge and understanding of English is excellent! Thanks to Marina and all" - May 2010

"Thank you very much for wonderful tours (Walking, General and Cultural). All of them showed us really a lot from Armenia's life, history, traditions. We have spent here a wonderful time and we will definitely recommend your hostel and your tours to our friends who are going to visit Armenia. As I already wrote, all tours were perfect and we did really enjoy them. Beside this I have one suggestion. Maybe it would be even more interesting if people (tourists) could really watch villagers while baking bread and making vodka. On the other hand I understand that they cannot do it each time tourists come. Anyway we had a great time!!! Once more thanks to all staff members. Your kind attitude made our stay in Yerevan real pleasure. Thank you!!!" - March 2009
