From the minute we arrived the tall gentleman at the Elysium Hotel reception was smiling and super welcoming. He informed us that we will be staying in the other section of the hotel where they have the bigger rooms, as we were a party of 3. Even though we were there at almost 11 a.m. they held the breakfast Buffet for us, which was sooo nice. The ladies at the reception were so sweet, they made sure we had our room even though we were early. The Breakfast Buffet staff were amazing, especially this one lady who helped us with identifying some items on the table in English. And she was always smiling. The Breakfast buffet was excellent. They have everything from veggies, to eggs, sausages, deli, cheese, jams, and a fantastic array of cakes that change every day or so. This hotel is superb. The staff are amazing, and the location is perfect. It's a block away from the beautiful streets of Yerevan that resemble Europe. Loved loved loved my stay. I also got the VIP perks as I am an Expedia Gold member.
