Hotel Dilijan Resort

I stayed 1 night at this hotel with my wife during my trip to Georgia and Armenia in June. The hotel is big and comfortable. The room was huge, with a nice sofa, a small table and one of the biggest beds I’ve ever slept in! It stands on a quiet corner of Dilijan, embedded in a small forest of big pine(?) trees. The hotel has a small inner pool and sauna, together with a and gymnasium and massage center, being perfect for families with kids. The minus was just that, like other hotels we’ve stayed at during this trip, it seems that the hotel was built with paper walls: one can hear all the noises around like we were outside the room. Other annoying “feature” of almost all the hotels we stayed at in this trip, is that it seems that both Armenia and Georgia have no concept of window shades, which means that one wakes up at 5:30 a.m. with the daylight. Apart from that, it was a really nice stay at a good hotel.

Located in its own park this hotel sports a grand lobby, enormous rooms and a range of services. The room was a bit run down though, and the food in the restaurant mediocre. A very noisy party dominated the evening. Personally I prefer a smaller hotel with more character.

What an interesting hotel. Set in parkland, the late Soviet era hotel is enormous. Comfortable and very large rooms. Very bizarre design with lifts stopping between floors rather than on floors so you need to walk up or down to reach your room Highlight though was the included dinner and breakfast. Never ending quality food from soups, salads, meats and vegetables and onto great dessert. Way too much for any human to eat so I hope the leftovers went somewhere! Only negative was pretty woeful internet. They need to add routers in each room or nearby.
