LoginSave

An excellent choice for families visiting this region, Gayane started as a B&B in a farmhouse but has since expanded to include four simple self-catering cottages and a new multistorey building with 29 hotel-style rooms. Facilities include an indoor and outdoor pool, billiard table, table tennis and a cafe that's open to nonguests. Buffet dinners are available (AMD3000 to AMD4000).

The hotel complex is located at the end of a lane off the main road a couple of kilometres down from Haghpat Monastery.
