Even though we didn’t stay at the hotel, they organised a tour to the Ukhtasar petroglyphs for us. Our guide was very nice and spoke very good English, and the driver was excellent. Several times, he stopped on the way to show us interesting flowers and animals. 
When we arrived at the petroglyphs, we could take as much time as we wanted there. After asking, our guide even walked up to the top of the mountain with us, which took about 2 hours (return trip) extra, although this was not part of the usual trip that we paid for.
So we can’t say anything about the rooms at the hotel, but we can highly recommend this tour!
Thank you very much :-)!

Trip to Ukhtasar

We had a perfect three days staying at hotel Basen in Sisian. Our room and the bed was very comfortable, perfect after a days hiking / sight seeing. 

The staff at the hotel were lovely and very helpful,  Hasmik in particular went above and beyond to guide our stay in Sisian, and suggest activities we would have not experienced otherwise. We were able to tour Sisian, hike to Shakti waterfall,  visit Zorats Karer (referred to as Armenian Stonehenge), Ughtasar Lake high in the mountains where ancient Petroglyphs can be seen that document early human activity in this area, Tatev and Vorotnavank monastery, Khndzoresk Caves and the swinging bridge that leads to them (adrenalin kick guaranteed), as well as the Aghitu monument.

We also spent an evening at Sisian ceramics, learning  from Vahagn and Zara about Armenian ceramics, learning how to use the pottery wheel and enjoying both of their work. Zara also made us the most beautiful dinner.

Dinner and breakfast at the hotel were healthy and delicious (try the natural wine). 

Thank you for a wonderful stay, very grateful for your help and sharing your extensive knowledge on the local area. Highly recommend and can't wait to visit again!

Lovely hotel, exceptional local guidance and a beautiful area.

It's been some time since I experienced Hotel Basen, but it's definitely the best place in Sisian. A great combination of authentic Armenian hospitality with modern, comfortable facilities. Hasmik goes out of her way to give her guests the best experience possible.

Best place in Sisian!

I normally stay here when travelling for work and it's always been a welcoming and convenient experience. The staff of the hotel will do their best to make you comfortable and help with anything you may need. If there is a language barrier, just ask for the manager, Hasmik.
Basen is also a tour company that organizes various guided trips in the region.

Convenient place to stay and organize your travels in the region

Breakfast was consistently late, the first day no one was even there at the set time, door locked and all, the second day they improved a little, it was only late by 25 min. 

Breakfast is a one egg omelet, a couple of pieces of cheese and some bread. 

The instant coffee is simply undrinkable (but to their credit they did serve eastern coffee upon request without charging anything extra)

The food in their restaurant is quite good but I’d avoid using the restaurant toilet as it doesn’t seem to be cleaned regularly.

The stairs leading to the second floor rooms are so narrow to the point of being dangerous, I highly recommend to avoid the second floor.

Staff doesn’t appear to respect the do not disturb sign.

No hair blower.

Water temperature leaves a lot to be desired, basically you’re in for a lukewarm shower at best.

The single beds are a bit narrow but the rooms are clean.

Overall the hotel seems to be suffering from poor management, the staff is friendly but clearly untrained in very basic service etiquette and/or the concept of time management.



Hotel could use a proper manager

I came across this when searching for restaurants in Sisian- I was staying at a different hotel with no restaurant service. I had dinner here a couple of nights ago and returned tonight to stay. Great food, a quiet location, spacious modern and clean rooms and a warm welcome. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant, with spacious clean rooms

We wanted to stay in Sisian and camp overnight at the glacial lake at the base of Mt. Ughtasar, where there are ancient petroglyphs. Hasmik did all the arrangements and even accompanied us, and her team trucked our gear to the site while we hiked in. 

Ughtasar is extraordinary, but so is the Basen Hotel. Hasmik and her family could have gone anywhere and done anything, but they opted to stay in Sisian, run a hotel, and help improve their town. If you want to visit Ughtasar, you should do it with them. And if you want to visit Sisian, you should stay with them. Their rooms and food are excellent, and they are devoted to the Syunik region and their country.

I have lived in Armenia for four years, and the Basen Hotel and its people are as accommodating and informative as anywhere I have visited here. I cannot recommend them enough.

Exceptional Stay and Overnight Trip to Ughtasar Petroglyphs

An excellent affordable small hotel. Clean and sunny rooms without grotesque furniture. Nice views of the local scenery. A quiet location just in the small city center. Local food of superior quality.

Small hotel with very good food

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The Hotel is centrally located and everything is clean. Breakfast and supper are exceptional tasty. Breakfast is included. 
The hotel offers a tour to the mountain plateau "Ughtasar" which is a really great experience!!!!! You can share this tour with others, than it is not too expensive. 
It seems that there are only rooms with a double bed. Single travellers have to ask for a one bed possibility. I enjoyed the time in this hotel very much!!!

pleasant hotel

We arrived to Basen hotel after getting a recommendation from a local friend. Lovely Jasmine welcomes us telling us the story of the hotel. The room we received was very specious and had a wonderful Mountain View. Great place for trips and tours in the region. They organize tracking and 4*4 trips and were full of recommendations. 
Great and friendly staff. We highly recommend staying there.
