The hostel is located in a fantastic place very close to the main square. Everything is easily accessible from the hostel, be it the best restaurants, cafes or bars in the city.
The breakfast at the hostel is excellent and will not disappoint you at all.
Overall I had a fantastic experience and will definitely recommend anyone wanting to stay in Yerevan on a budget while having a very comfortable stay as well.

Its on 7th floor. Security guy will let you up. Get keys for entrance after checkin. Security guys usually walking around if not in his booth. Nice place. Bit of a walk from tourist walking strip. Walkable still and away from noise.

Central location, just a few steps away from the Republic square. Everything is well-maintained, clean and tidy. The buffet breakfast is awesome and the staff is super friendly and professional. Also, I would like to highlight the atmosphere of this place. Honestly, this is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

Dear Pavel,Thank you for your kind feedback. It's wonderful to know that our central location added value to your visit and that our well-maintained facilities met your expectations. Your comments have truly brightened our day, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another delightful stay in the future.Regards, Paruyr MelikjanyanGeneral Manager
Great location. Amazing receptionist and the breakfast was very good! Bedding of very good quality, however bathroom facilities not enough. I stayed in all-female room with long-term guests who have occupied every single spot in the room. This felt very unwelcoming, so suggestion is to encourage guests to use their allocate storage only. The room had only 1 desk & chair that was always covered with long-term guests' stuff too. Also, the same for the dining and lounge area. Not easy to find a spot for a quick meal or a coffee, as most guests were leaving their stuff on the tables, even when they weren't there to secure the spot!

The rooms are clean, the cleaning crew are cleaning the hostel nearly around the clock. The beds are comfortable. Good location. The breakfast is outstanding.
My only complaint is the kitchen provides very little cooking equipment to prepare your own meals.

We are so happy to learn that you have enjoyed your stay and we will take your remark into consideration to improve our kitchen facilities. Regards, General ManagerParuyr Melikjanyan
nothing to criticize except perhaps some people smoking outside balcony of breakfast room and smoke coming in when they opened door. Bedrooms were clean and spacious and bathrooms always clean. Breakfast was great
Kantar is the best possible. It has two parts - hostel and hotel. One front desk. One breakfast room. Hotel rooms have private baths and are larger. Hostel rooms have more beds and shared baths. All are clean and decent. Hotel/hostel personnel are all fantastic.

Value for money, clean and tidy rooms and wash rooms. The front desk staff needs to be talk more to their guests
Kantar Hostel is a fantastic place to stay in Yerevan. Centrally located. Huge breakfast. All the staff are super-friendly, including the kitchen ladies. The place is clean everywhere. I needed a taxi to the airport at 3 AM and the desk clerk called it in for me the night before. The taxi was even a few minutes early. Each bed has a locker that works. I've stayed there three different times, and the staff somehow remembers me!
Wonderful hostel! Nice area near Republic Square and near restaurants and grocery store.Wonderful services; help with tours, fantastic breakfast, tea and coffee all day, etc. Can’t say enough good things about it for our 9 day stay. Can’t wait to go back next year!!
Very clean and nice hostel, located centrally, close to Republic Square, 3-5 walk. Breakfast has good selection. Front desk and the team are very friendly and helpful.
One of the best properties I've stayed. Highly recommend it. I have nothing bad to say in any categories. I would stay here again when coming back to Yerevan
This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed.
Clean, quiet, safe, delicious breakfast, centrally located, attentive staff, fast wifi, elevator, security guard at the entrance.
The staff were lovely. It was my birthday and they gave me a bunch of flowers. Shower could do with a curtain but otherwise everything was really good. Breakfast amazing for a hostel bed as it's good hotel rooms as well but it's the same breakfast for everyone.
Dear Kenta,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed the cleanliness and comfort of Kantar Yerevan.

Хорошее впечатление от поездки складывается из многих составляющих и место, где ты восстанавливаешь свои силы и приводишь себя в порядок, является одним из основных. Хостел Kantar является именно таким местом, куда с удовольствием возвращаешься после своих дневных поездок и прогулок. Здесь как-то по-домашнему уютно и тепло. Прекрасная атмосфера, доброжелательное отношение персонала и никаких бытовых проблем. Реальность превзошла мои ожидания. Браво, ребята!

Gutes Low Cost Hotel
Das Hotel hat eine gute Lage und im Preis-Leistungsverhältniss ist es auch okay
J'ai passé un bon séjour dans cet hôtel, j'ai rencontré des personnes de diverses nationalités, le personnel est vraiment très gentil et très accueillant. Le personnel est toujours là pour nous donner des informations concernant le séjour dans le pays. Il y a même une salle pour regarder la télévision et des ordinateurs pour aller sur internet. En plus, l'hôtel est en plein centre ville et cela permet de voir beaucoup de choses dans la ville et d'aller dans divers restaurants pour manger.
It was very pleasant experience. I stayed several hotels during my 3 week-trip and I can say that this hotel is the best. Most staff can speak English and are very helpful and kind. They are very open minded to all of visitors and willing to help visitors like me.
