Search hotels in Sevan Lake, Armenia

I'm very glad I chose to stay at the Writer's Lodge in Sevan on the tip of the peninsula—it was a short walk into "town" and up to the monastery—there are a handful of restaurants on the Sevan peninsula but very limited and predictable menus, especially limited for a vegetarian probably more so than anywhere I've visited this year! The old space-age Soviet design of the dining hall where I took most of my meals (yum!) is the best food and certainly the best view in town—open to the public serving breakfast/lunch/dinner up in a glass building on the end of the peninsula.

Such an amazing and authentic place. Land lords were very friendly and helpfull. Small villa has everything, what is needed to enjoy great and authentic time. Thank you very much to having us!! “Smell’s like fish spirit!” 😀

Liked · The location of White Shorja is great. The little wooden cabins are located around the green forest area, which separates the private cabin space from the shore. The shore is within few steps from the whole residential area. There's also some music playing with a stage, right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is very cozy and sells drinks, food and overall is a good hangout area. Staff is very kind, however they lack training. There's discrepancy between the info given, such as exact breakfast time, which also usually is not the typical time such as starting breakfast at 10am. Disliked · The advertisement on the booking and what you actually get may vary. Some cabins have a shower and toilet facilities, some others don't. The price variance is very unclear as well, seems they get all sold under the flat price, however some toilet facilities have lesser conveniences. Cabins for 2 and 4 also priced equally, which is a big marketing gap and may put off tourists like, considered as a trap. Less space inside, no possibility to open the windows for the night. Lots of midgets and mosquitoes at night , so a screen on the door or window (the ones that open) would have made a difference. Our lodge bathroom wasn't very clean, the toilet paper wasn't provided. The garbage outside of the lodge hadn't been emptied until asked. The booking site shows bbq facilities, which our cabin had, however until we arrived we didn't know bbq isn't allowed, neither your own food. The restaurant sells its own food with triple the prices. The breakfast isn't typical Armenian, such as rice in the morning or no sweet offerings to tea and coffee, which Armenia has in abundance everywhere else. Overpriced for no facility cabin. £62 is a midrange western expectation of quality. In this case it was below the average

A very beautiful place to visit if you're already in Armenia, but I wouldn't recommend making a trip solely for this destination. Keep in mind that selecting your lodging, hotel, or entertainment options carefully is important, as your choices can greatly influence whether you have an excellent or disappointing experience during your stay. Have Cash with you, Credit Cards won't come handy there and there aren't many ATMs around

Very interesting place. The views of Sevan lake are stunning and the personnel is nice and accommodating. However you must be prepared for the neglected state of the property, it looks it was not renovated since it was build in 1963. I have a sort of nostalgie for Soviet life style. If you have it as well or want to have first hand experience, this is the best place for that.
