"⭐☆☆☆☆ Extremely disappointing stay — beware of bugs and no A/C
We had a really bad experience at Best Western Plus Paradise Hotel Dilijan. When we first walked into our room, there were already several large bugs inside because the cleaning staff had apparently left the door open. I’m terrified of bugs, so that already ruined the start of our stay.
Then we found out the rooms don’t have air conditioning — they only turn it on during summer. No matter what buttons we pressed, only the heater...

"Great place to stay, very quiet and clean. The owners are very welcoming and love to serve tea and cognac at night around a campfire. I would highly recommend if you are staying in the area."

"They didn't get my expedia reservations. They found a replacement. Unfortunately this was in a building that didn't seem finished. AC didn't work. It was beyond hot in the rooms. Staff was great, but these problems made a bad stay."

"This is a hostel more than a hotel. The main door is open most of the time and there is no security. There is one person who works as the receptionist and waiter at the same time. It was very hot when we arrived. There is no air condition and when we asked for air fan he said they don’t have."

"What a delightful hotel, nestled in the hills high above Ijevan, and close to mountain trails. We received a warm welcome and made to feel at home. A highlight was to try some local wines before dinner each day, sitting on the terrace looking across the valley. There was an extensive menu with many delicious dishes, freshly prepared for us. We enjoyed meeting our host Ani who speaks excellent English. She and Movses went above the call of duty give us a wonderful experience at Kanach Tun."

"From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that instantly set the tone for our entire stay. The check-in was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for.
Our room was spotless, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and waking up to the stunning view each morning felt like a dream.
Breakfast was a highlight – fresh, delicious, and with plenty of variety to please every taste. The hotel’s attention to detail, from the decor to the little touches in service, truly made a difference.
What really stood out was the team. Every staff member we interacted with was attentive, kind, and always ready with a smile. They didn’t just meet expectations – they exceeded them in every way.
We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already planning our next visit. This hotel is a true gem and I couldn’t recommend it more highly."
