This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

Theatre Hostel organizes free walking tours in Yerevan. It’s a good occasion for guests to learn the most interesting things about Yerevan and Armenian language. The Tour is especially prominent with its part called “Soviet Yerevan” where guests get acquainted with the Soviet heritage of the city and find hidden Soviet symbols.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

First of all, it is worth mentioning that the Hostel was founded by the members of a local NGO (“YERITAC”) aiming to promote the mobility and cultural exchanges.

Theatre Hostel is one of the favorite accommodation options for the Peace Corps and Habitat Volunteers as we highly appreciate the work they do and provide them big discounts.

Theatre Hostel and the Staff have been involved in charitable activities providing funds to Habitat Armenia for building houses for Armenian communities.

The Hostel promotes academic and youth exchanges and often provides 100% discounts for NGO activists.

The Hostel staff is involved in the Academic life of the Country, promotes Bologna Reforms in the Higher Education Institutions of Armenia as well as holds free trainings and lectures.
