I stayed in GT for 5 days. I had to extend my 3 night stay twice due to business matters. Event though I kept on rebooking the same type of room, they would make me move to a new room each time. I will get to that in a min.
Pros:
Beautiful hotel.
Very conveniently located close to many things.
Friendly personnel.
Cons:
A bit pricey.
Personnel, including reception and so-called concierge, are young and friendly, and that's it. They don't have enough information or education about the city and facilities. (They sent me to bad restaurants and wrong addresses few times - Marriott hotel has GREAT concierge!
VERY HOT (temperature)
Noisy at nights
Business center charges for everything, even turning on their PC!
ok. So I stayed there first for 3 days. My room was very hot, but luckily I had an outside window which I had it opened all the time. I had to extend my stay for another night. They had me move to a different room, same size. Except that this room was even hotter than the first one, didn't have a window to outside (only over looking the bar), and worse case, it was a smoking room! no matter how much I complained, the night shift receptionist was like a dumb person and didn't care. Kept on saying "umm, sorry,, ummm) So I stayed, and my allergies kicked in (to smoke). Then the next day, which unfortunately I had to re-extend my stay, I told them the problem and they gave me a different room. This one was very hot also, but had outside window. The main problem with this room was that the hot water didn't have much pressure. So I could either take a cold shower with pressure, or with drops of hot water! It didn't help that I was there in March and it was COLD!
So, after some problems that I had with my rooms, on the check out day, I told them if they compensate for some of the problems. They said they can't do anything and that the central heater in the building hasn't been working right and pretty much nothing. After couple minutes of being upset, the manager finally talks to me over the phone! She says "next time you are in Yerevan, we will give you a free upgrade"!! That is even after I told her I am probably never coming to Yerevan anymore. But she didn't care.
Oh and also their gym was closed and they wanted to send me 2-3 kilometers south to Best Western hotel to use their gym. Maybe it was my bad luck, but I didn't have a good time there. Next time, which prob never happens, but if it does, I will go to Marriott. I had stayed there before and the service was AMAZING!
safe travels
