Popular among backpackers, this guesthouse has shared rooms with a warm cottage-like feel and tidier private rooms in a separate building. English-speaking owner Irina Israeliyan is an enthusiastic host who's eager to provide information, organise transport or prepare organic meals upon request (dinner AMD4000). Tent camping is available in the garden (BYO tent per person AMD2000, tent rental AMD3000).
The guesthouse is located near the Sanahin train station, up a steep hill (look for the small yellow-and-orange signs pointing to the left as you travel north).
