Iris is truly amazing, very warm and always helpful with anything you need. The dinners are truly fantastic as well as the breakfasts !

Located about 3km from Alaverdi town center (a 40-minute walk), Iris Guesthouse is accessible by marshrutka from Tbilisi - just ask the driver to drop you at the guesthouse to save some walking distance. I arrived at 11pm, and was immediately touched by Armenian hospitality - fellow passengers kindly contacted the host and helped translate to arrange my pickup. What a warm welcome to Armenia! Though I'd booked a dorm bed, the host upgraded me to a private room with bathroom since I was the only guest. The room was spotless and even had a charming little balcony. The meals were another highlight! Both dinner and breakfast were generous, featuring homemade jam that was to die for. The dolma was honestly the best I've ever tasted - I still dream about it! Such memorable hospitality - I truly hope to return someday.

Breakfast was tasty, as was the (large) evening meal we ordered for an additional cost - everything fresh and homemade. Our room was comfortable and pleasant with the rushing of the river at night. The house itself was characterful. It was well-located for the monasteries in the Debed Canyon. The hosts were kind and helpful - would recommend this guesthouse.

The weather was hot and still, the addition of a pedestal fan would be a welcome relief as the room was hot which made sleeping difficult.

Lovely friendly host, very nice home cooked dinner although the servings were way too big for us. A good location if you have a car.

Irina is an amazing host who will always go out of her way to look after you and make sure you have what you need. The BnB is really pretty and well-situated for local attractions. A top-class stay.

From the B&B you can easily explore the Debed Canyon. Our room was nice. We had also good dinner and breakfast at a fair price.

A bit far from the town of Alaverdi

Super helpful staff that provided recommendations for things to do. She even helped me arrange my onward travel to the Georgia border. The rooms/bathrooms were very clean and even though I booked a dorm, I had a private room to myself since nobody else was there. The breakfast is an additional 2000 dram but delicious and definitely worth it.

Irena is the best host you can ever hope for, she helped us make our short stay here very smooth. We enjoyed her home cooking and loved meeting other like minded travellers who had also chosen to stay in this wonderful location.

Irina is a brilliant host, and extremely helpful, particularly in arranging follow-on transport. The food was delicious! And the rooms and place in general were comfy and quiet, and ideally located for a stopover in Alaverdi whether to see the monasteries or en route to the Georgian border.

This is a unique and very special place. Irina, the warm and welcoming owner and host is a lovely person, and she is an extraordinary chef who also offered cooking/baking classes (for a modest extra fee). We also had dinner and breakfast - all fantastic. Beautiful canyon location, near historic sites and lovely walking trails.

Our stay was slightly disrupted due to unexpected problems with the hot water; however Irena and her team worked quickly to resolve the issue. And we were still able to use hot water in one of the bathrooms.

The room was cozy, comfortable, and full of character. Our host Irena was kind and accommodating, and gave our family a room upgrade free of charge. The home cooked meals were super tasty and an excellent value add-on. Our children enjoyed their room and visiting with the friendly cats. And the sound of the rushing Debed river was the perfect white noise to put us to sleep after a long day on the road.

The guesthouse owner takes great care to make sure guests are warm and comfortable. She also helps with any travel you are doing. You can even contact her and let her know which minibus you are taking to the town nearby and ask her to call the driver to tell him to let you out at the guesthouse. The house is a lovely old place, like grandma's house. There are nice views of the canon from it and you will sleep peacefully to the sound of the river below.
