Concern
We are frequent traveller to Armenia, once a year my family and I we pay a visit to Armenia, to see our beloved ones and meantime we make some trips around. Our latest trip dated February 2011, was as usual great, till we went to Dilijan city for a one day trip. Overnighting was decided upon the advise of locals in Dilijan, to stay at Dili Villa B&B located at Miyasnikyan Str. To our surprise after we paid, we found out that this place is not in normal conditions, such as the bedrooms smelled from the old carpet, the bed sheets where dirty with blood circles on it, the toilet was in a very bad condition that we couldnt use ! Had difficulties to sleep at night. We wished to leave but we decided to stay for a one night and leave next morning. After we left we discovered that we had bites on our entire body ! I guess this place is infected and must be observed by a specialist. We hope such places wont operate in Armenia for travellers and such problems wont disturb tourists that would like to have the best out of their spending on their holidays!!
