Hotel Mirhav

We had a very enjoyable one night stay at Hotel Mirhav. The staff were very warm and friendly and the room was very comfortable. Our dinner was delicious and very enjoyable. Although the breakfast options were somewhat limited, as to be expected in a small boutique hotel, the food was very tasty. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay and one of our favourites on our trip through the South Caucasus region.

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night in late May, ‘22, while we were on a small group tour of the Caucasus. We enjoyed the hotel and recommend it. It has a warm, welcoming feeling to it that we appreciated, and the building itself has charm and character, something we value. This begins with the stone facade and continues to the small but inviting lobby decorated with interesting artwork. Our room (202) faced the street and overlooked the entrance, yet was quiet. The room was fairly large, with a comfortable queen bed and one twin, It was simply furnished with a small table and two chairs, two night stands with outlets, and a built-in closet. There was no safe or coffee making facilities. Wifi was strong and fast. The bright and clean bathroom was adequate sized with a pedestal sink and a small shelf above for storage. It had a corner shower. The hotel consists of an original part, where our room was located, and an additional building accessed across a small courtyard. There is a restaurant in the main building, and another in the additional building. Dinner was very good, as was the buffet breakfast. All in all, the Mirhav is a friendly, comfortable place with a welcoming character.

Hotel Mirhav is a quality smallish hotel in central Goris consisting of two buildings with good sized rooms, some with mountain views, a pleasant garden for dining or just hanging out and a good restaurant. The rooms are clean and moderately furnished with a comfortable bed, desk and wardrobe. The bathroom is also moderately sized with a roomy shower with good hot water and pressure. The water was turned off during the early afternoon hours during our stay. Amenities include a hairdryer but no safe or hot water boiler. You can, however, get coffee before the stated 8:30 breakfast hour. The Wi-Fi connection works well. There were a couple of small tour groups staying at the hotel during our stay, but generally only about 6-8 in a group. There is no air conditioning but we didn’t need it either. There is limited parking on the property but street parking is also available. Breakfast Served in the dining room, you can also eat in the garden just off the dining room, the breakfast buffet included a nice selection of Armenian dishes such as pancakes with a number of toppings – cheeses, creams and honey - cheese and cold cuts including beef tongue, cereals, nuts and dried fruit, bread and butter, omelet and fried eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes, melon and cherries. Filtered coffee, tea, milk and juice are also available. The buffet is of good quality and well presented. Dinner On a pretty summer evening we chose to dine on their garden terrace. Most guests, however, were dining inside. The extensive menu includes mostly Armenian and regional specialties. We ordered a red bean (local Goris bean) salad, eggplant rolls (stuffed with a sour cream mixture that included walnuts), grape leaves with a veal mint mixture, potato wedges and a local trout (Ishkhan) from Lake Seven. Everything was well prepared and tasty. I didn’t care for the fish because it had a river mud taste, but Don thought it was fine. It was presented with vegetables and lemons. Service was slow to start because she was attending to other patrons but once the meal got going it all worked out.
