Maghay B&B

Top choice in Northern Armenia


Ashot and Marine run Vanadzor's best accommodation, so you'll need to book ahead to score one of their nine rooms. The rooms are all different sizes, ranging from a tad too cosy to extremely spacious. There's a communal kitchen where a delicious organic breakfast is served (the jams are homemade with berries from the garden). Dinner is also available (AMD4000 to AMD5000).

Two of the rooms with private bathroom have satellite TV, and all are clean and comfortable. To find the B&B, take the lane off Vardanants St where the large grey concrete bakery is located and head to its left and then behind it. A green sign on Vardanants St indicates the way.
