There are a few hotels located in the historical Russian mansions, but this one is definitely the best. It's truly a boutique hotel, thoroughly restoring and preserving the epoch's atmosphere. All the staff members are very hospitable, helpful, and proud of their workplace and their city with its rich exciting history. But for a rather short holiday, we'd have loved to stay longer, this place does feel like home far from home.

The sound proofing of the windows is awesome, but without AC one can't stay with the windows closed, which makes late evening street noises, especially the live music from a nearby gourmet restaurant, rather disturbing. Yet, if you aren't an early bird, it doesn't really matter, because the city falls asleep right after midnight. (And yes, it gets up quite early, too.)

Kar's Otel is an amazing boutique hotel I can highly recommend. The beautiful restoration of the buildings and the view on the Kars castel are fabulous. The hotel is on the main road of the old city area and restaurants and shops are just out the front steps, while being quiet in the rooms or inside the courtyard. The rooms are extremely tasteful with very comfy beds making the hotel an oasis of tranquility. The manager Mr. Mehmet was wonderful and gave us many tips on what to see in and away from Kars (for example the salt cave in Tuzluca). He also was very supportive establishing contact with our 'extended' family and helping with interpreting which we highly appreciated.

Extremely nice boutique hotel, a 10-minute walk from the old Kars Castle. I enjoyed my time there until the last minute: a very comfy bed, a big and nice room, and a hot shower. The room was equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules, water, and snacks available in the fridge for an additional fee. Additionally, I must compliment the breakfast - it was exquisite. The cheese plate featured a great selection of Kars cheese, eggs were served on your choice of omelet or menemen, and there were some other starters, tea, and coffee included. The personnel in the hotel are extremely helpful, and I would like to thank them for their support and recommendations. Recommended!

There is nothing bad I might say about this hotel :-)

An excellent hotel in central Kars. All the main sites of the city are in easy walking distance. The hotel is a lovely old house (only 8 rooms) that has been beautifully renovated. My room was very comfortable and spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was especially good - a real feast with lots of local cheeses! I would definitely stay here again or recommend to others.

No issues.

The hotel is beautiful, the room too, with big windows, a huge comfortable bed, and a good washroom. Very quiet. And the balcony space was a great place to hang out. Breakfast was generous and beautiful. The manager was exceptionally thoughtful and helpful.

Absolutely no complaints. Truly excellent.

The staff was perfect, the manager even went with us to a small excursion through the city. The location of the hotel is great, in the old city center, 5 min to the fortress. Kars itself is an astonishingly lively and beautiful city!

I couldn't open both windows, and the floor (for morning exercises) wasn't very clean.

Very friendly inn-keeper and friendly staff. Helpful. Room was big and bright. Well protected againgst street noise. The breakfast room was modern and the food was well presented.

The internet signal in my room was too weak. There was no desk in my room, only a coffee table. This was better than nothing but sitll not optimal.

Comfortable and stylish hotel in the centre of Kars with very kind staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Nothing at all - I wished I could have stayed longer

It was a lovely hotel and the staff were most accommodating. We had some trouble with the Wi-Fi and the staff were so helpful until we had our computers going. The breakfast was really nice. They were also helpful in finding us a wonderful guide and recommendations for dinner.

Lovely Tsarist era restored building with a view of the castle and in a good location. The breakfast - a demonstration of the local cheese and honey - was exceptional.

Nothing.
