Elite Status: Hyatt Globalist
Hyatt Place Yerevan is a 4-star Category-2 Hyatt limited service property centrally located in Yerevan’s Republic Square. The 8-story building is a standard Hyatt Place, with a very solid breakfast.
I spent one night here using points, paying 8,000 Hyatt points.
Check In/Check Out
Check in was a little bit delayed, because they were having some trouble coding the card, but beyond that, standard brisk check in and check out.
Room
As a Globalist, I got a standard King room, but on a high floor. It didn’t have views, since it looked into the building opposite the Hyatt Place.
The room is of a good size, with a large sectional couch by one wall, and a large King bed. There’s a long work desk by the wall, wardrobe with safe/ironing board, and a mini-fridge as well.
While welcoming elite members is not the standard procedure, Hyatt Place Yerevan actually delivered a small platter of cheese, honey and bread sticks, along with a bottle of wine. The gift was appreciated.
Bathroom
The bathroom is a bit small, but they packed in a lot – single sink vanity, and a tub with shower.
They stock Barney Kenet MD products, which is okay.
Food
The breakfast is a surprisingly good spread. They have an egg chef who made cooked-to-order eggs. The breakfast area was also well-stocked with breakfast pastries, fruit, and there were several hot selections as well.
Service
Friendly and professional.
Amenities
There’s a 24hr gym on site on the second level, but I didn’t check it out.
Overall
Hyatt Place Yerevan’s location works both ways. Its Republic Square location makes it excellent, but when I stayed, there was some construction. The windows are also not completely soundproof against the festivities that might occur in Republic Square. The property is very much a standard Hyatt Place, but it has good breakfast, and goes beyond for elite recognition.
