The man on day reception was very kind and helpful. He got us a taxi for Ani ruins and Lake Cilders for a very good fair price. He had great suggestions for local dining. Breakfast was delicious. Hotel is dated but clean and functional and has a great lift

Loved the friendly staff. We were offered help to do our laundry at the hotel. They served tea and coffee to guests who hang out in the lobby. Location is also good. Very central. We also enjoyed the bteakfast and the person who served breakfast.very professional. Thanks to everyone at Konak hotel!

I arrived at this property after midnight. Check in process was fine. My room was on the 6th floor.. a lot of stairs to climb, and the elevator is tiny! The place smelt of cigarettes, and the Wi-Fi did not work at all. Breakfast okay, simple but fine. Convenient for a stop-over for one night.

Okay hotel on a busy but convenient location. Staff didn’t speak English so every time when I needed to say some things they had to call the manager for me to talk on phone, a little weird. The breakfast room was very small so it was very crowded. The room was very basic and simple.

Kars Konak hotel
The hotel looks ok from the small lobby. The lift is just about big enough for 1 person and a suitcase.. The hotel looks as though it could do with a clean, the stairways etc look dirty. Our room, where do i start!! Too much furniture for the room, couldn't swing a cat in that room. Wallpaper peeling off the walls. Cigarette burns in the pillow cases and the mattresses look dirty. The bathroom cabinet was just about hanging together, my husband had to fix the shower door as that was hanging off. The toilet seat half hanging off the toilet. I seriously can go on and on but i think you get the idea.... this hotel is advertised as a 3* , i think not.

Great time in Kars
Staff was super friendly. Location is really good. Food was amazing. Some rooms might be noisy if you open the window due to main road traffic. Overall, definitely recommended.

Exceptional staff & great hotel
The reception staff could not have been more helpful - they gave us local food recommendations, chatted about Turkish culture and even called the bus office to reserve us seats. The bedroom was very comfortable and warm - bathroom and bedding clean, with complimentary slippers which was nice. Also you can take tea, coffee or water (free of charge) throughout the day and up to 2am. Breakfast was tasty and fresh, the man and woman serving were very welcoming and plied us with tea! Great location and only 10lira from the train station in taxi. 5 minute walk to the buses that go to Georgia.

A very good hotel to stay in Kars
It was a very good hotel by Kars standards. Rooms were clean, breakfast was good and the staff was kind. The only caveat was that the staff or especially the receptionist had to speak at least basic English.

Fine if you are on a budget
Blinds in room terrible and let a lot of light in. Only 1 English speaking staff member and it’s basic as well. Bed was comfortable enough except the elastic sheet had shrunk and kept falling off. Breakfast was good which is a plus. Fine if you want a budget place and close to most decent restaurants and short walk to the castle

Good hotel in city center
Good hotel in middle of city, walking distance to everything, restaurents and cafes all around. Staff was very helpful, breakfast was ok,they even provided me my Turkish coffee in the morning. They booked for us a taxi to visit Ani for 150 Lira return and two and half hours wait. Tea was free all day. Room was big and beds confortable.

This was a great hotel on the main stretch in Kars. Nice location. For the price, the value was great! Unfortunately, there was no A/C or fan in the room, meaning it could get quite uncomfortable. Also, the wifi didn't reach our room well. When we finally got connected, the wifi didn't work!!! As travellers, internet is important to us for many reasons...so to advertise wifi and then not provide it is bad form. The hotel is an easy walk from all the good restaurants, shops, and the bus to Ani! This was excellent for us. The breakfast was standard fare of breads, cheeses, eggs, olives etc etc, and tea or coffee. The staff at breakfast were very nice. All in all, we would recommend this place. They jusy need to sort out the wifi!

Good place to stay in Kars
This is a good hotel, there is a lift, breakfast, wifi was ok, there is street parking in front of the hotel and many restaurants. Staff are friendly and helpful. The room does not have air-conditioning and it gets quite hot as the sun shines into the windows in the morning.

Great place!
We enjoyed our stay at Kars Konak. the hotel is located within walking distance to stores, restaraunts and many interesting sights. The place was clean and the breakfast great. The staff were very friendly... only negative was that the wifi worked in the lobby and breakfast area and not in the rooms, but that was fine as the areas ware comfortable.

Memnun kaldık
Otel gayet temiz, sıcak su her daim mevcut. Sezonda yoğun dönemlerde kahvaltıyı erken saatte yaparsanız sıkıntı yaşamazsınız, geç saatlere kalırsanız bazı ürünler bitebiliyor. Konumu çok merkezi. Resepsiyondaki görevliler gayet yardımseverdi. Çok memnun kaldık. Fiyatı makul. Tavsiye ediyorum

Güzel bir Kars deneyimi
Otel fiyat performans olarak iyi,konumun merkezde olması heryere yürüyerek ulaşma bakımından oldukça fayda sağlıyor ama hepsinden önemlisi personelin büyük özveri ile her konuda yardımcı olmaya çalışması bu konuda özellikle Abdullah beye teşekkür ediyorum sadece temizlik konusunda biraz daha özenli olunabilir gibi geldi bana ilkbaharda belki bir badana, küçük tamiratlar, eskiyip yıpranan havlu veya çarşafların değiştirilmesi gibi şeyler düşünülebilir mesela

Yatak örtüsü yırtıkti, yatak komforlu değildi, çarşaflar lekeliydi, şampuan ve duş jeli kalitesizdi ve kopurmuyordu. Gece geç saatte gelmemize rağmen açıktı, hızlı check-in ve check out yapıldı. Lokasyonu çok iyi.
