"Beautiful apartment with a great location next to the river and the castle. Really amazing breakfast served by super friendly staff. Very helpful service! Will definitely stay here again!"
"The room was clean and spacious. The staff were kind, attentive, and helpful. The breakfast buffet was satisfactory. The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to walk to many attractions. I highly recommend this hotel."
"i would say it’s a god value of money for a short day in Kars. The location is not bad, about 15minutes walk to the castle and less than 5 mins to the main street where you can find lot of shops and food. The manager Suat is a friendly and funny man, although he can’t speak English. Google translate would solve the communication problem. "
"Tesis fotoğraflarda gösterildiği kadar yeni ve konforlu değil. Odalar sigara kokuyor. Havlular eski. Banyoda su az akıyor. Sabah 10:00’a kadar olan kahvaltıyı 09:40 restoranda olmamıza rağmen toplanmış bulduk. Bize tabak ile kahvaltı servisi yapıldı. Sezon ortası bina içinde ve dışında tadilat yapılması otelin ne kadar kötü yönetildiğinin göstergesi. Zaten 1 ay sonra sezon kapanmasından dolayı misafir sayısı minimuma inecektir. Şehir merkezinin de dışında olması hizmet, konfor, hijyen...
"This hotel is easy walking distance to the main shops and transportation to Ani, as well as the Kars Castle and the train station. It also had surprisingly fast wifi, and a nice breakfast spread! The staff doesn't speak much (if any) English, and people were smoking in the main lobby (and rooms), but all in all I enjoyed my stay. "
"Deniz is such a genuinely kind and wonderful person who went well out of her way to make sure we had a great visit. It was a treat staying with her, just like staying in the home of a beloved relative. Her home is very clean, quiet, comfortable, and lovingly maintained. We loved chatting with Deniz and meeting her sweet dogs. Will have to be back!"
"Hotel is in the middle of the city, easy access to the transport.
Staff is very friendly and supportive,
Many they can add more variety to breakfast. "
"Liked: great authentic experience. Very close to all the dining options.
Did not like: You need to walk up steep stairs to get to the hotel and leave your car on the roads. Breakfast is disappointing. "

"Deniz’s place is great to stay in if you are very social, want to meet locals in Kars and/or love dogs. Deniz invited us to many outings with her friends in Kars, including dinner at her place, an outing to Ani and coffee with her friends and we were happy to be included and to get a taste of local life in Kars. She’s also a big big dog lover—she’s adopted a lot of stray dogs and they live happily in her garden and in her apartment upstairs. (If you don’t like dogs though, don’t worry—the bottom floor is for guests and the dogs don’t come in there)
The guesthouse was well-furnished. We had an enormous private bathroom and there is a kitchen and washing machine specially for guests. Located in the center of Kars, 10 min walk from the bus station and pretty much any other place you would want to go to in Kars.
Special shoutout out to Denis for her extreme consideration in quickly sending over some items I left behind on the day I checked out to the airport via taxi. Thank you for saving me Denis!!"
