Our guests have quoted:

"Very clean and hospitable hostel. The bunk beds brought me back to my childhood. The staff was very helpful (and pretty). Yerevan was a different experience. No snow but plenty of KHOROVATS and beers!!! A few too many on one occasion! The facilities were excellent and the net was fast. I hope to return one day." - April 2008

"As first time in Armenia, I couldn’t expect much! Through envoy team, I got in touch with this amazing land as deep as I could, maybe in 1 year. And I spent only 10 days. 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! P.S If you want to try real Italian coffee you must go to “ L”ESPRESSO” LOUNGE BAR and thank me for the 15 0iscount you’ll get because of my pioneering there (The girl there is…WOW)." - April 2008

I stayed in the meeting room four hours not to watch TV but speaking with other travelers from different countries.

"Dear Erik & Team,
As one of your first guests and member of the "beginning celebration" I wish you and your team all the best for the future and keep the hostel as clean and beautiful as it is now. I think you're on the right way and Yerevan needs a hostel like this. I'll tell it to my friends, to the people looking my slide shows and to the writer of the Armenian Guide book, written in German, so maybe one day you'll have a lot of Austrian guests in this brilliant home. All the best" - Oct 2005
