Hotel Kent Ani

Wifi is detectable in the room but not acceptable at all. Had to connect in the lobby only. If you depend highly on hotel wifi from your room please check carefully with the hotel otherwise I don't recommend this for your stay. Other than that is okay.

Very pleasant hotel right in the middle of town and walkable to just about everywhere. Parking on the street, not dedicated to the hotel. Nice breakfast terrace upstairs. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Location is ok, the hotel is located in the city centre, walking distance ~15-20 minutes to Kars Castle. A few small supermarkets and local market nearby. The hotel was kind of empty when we were there. We booked a triple economy room. To be honest Room design seem old fashion and needs a makeover. Room is generally clean and bed was comfortable. There is a kettle in the room but bottled water is not provided. There's a bidet spray for my fellow bidet users. Breakfast was limited but it was understandable as there were only a handful of guest around. The same male staff was taking care of the reception counter the entire 2 nights/3 days we were there. He spoke English fairly and was very helpful. He was able to arrange a taxi to and from Ani and the train station for us. There were no tours by the hotel at that time.

As a hotel, to a westerner it was as reported above but, realistically, it was in an eastern city in rural Turkey which itself is in poor condition. I would not hesitate to stay there again. If I happened to pass there again - which is highly unlikely.

I found the staff really helpful - and they went out of their way especially to help me find public transport to Ani.... It's a good value hotel with a nice breakfast right in amongst the central market area.

This was the worst hotel we stayed at during our 7-day trip in eastern Turkey. I reserved 5 economy double rooms with a double bed. One of them was no better than a jail cell. Two of them had no space for shower. One had to stand or sit on the toilet to shower. Although the pictures for this room class showed enclosed shower cabin, none of the rooms we were given had a shower cabin. Front desk was a complete disaster. We asked two of the rooms to be replaced with rooms with usable showers for the second night of our stay. Although I gave clear instructions twice as to which rooms to be replaced, they messed it up anyway. The room my wife and I stayed was not one of them. When my wife went to our room after we got back at night, she found another couple in our room. Front desk had no idea about what happened and where our personal belongings were. I'm not going to bore you with details, after several attempts, we found our belongings moved to one of the rooms they assigned to my wife cousin. As a compensation, the front desk upgraded us to a better room which was nice gesture. It is hard to blame the person working at the front desk because he works over 16 hours a day. He is there when we get up early in the morning (6:30 am) and still there late at night (11 pm). Anyone working so long every day will make mistakes. Other things like breakfast were reasonable for price we paid.

Super place. Very clean hotel and room. I been backpacking for 2 years, I can't remember a better bed. The breakfast was always on time at 7am and always plenty. I stayed an extra week to practice my Turkish and enjoy the friendly staff and comfort. This I believe will be the cheapest and best hotel in eastern Turkey.

Review is on the title. Correct hotel for one night, but nothing else. Lies in the city center, bed, warm water, wifi, and some breakfast, that's all, that you need, and you'll get it, nothing less, but nothing more. Staff is helpful,

I like the location. It is near the center of Kars. There are shops, cafe and restaurants near by. My room is clean. Stuff are very friendly and helpful. I also like the lobby area. It is decorated well. Value for the money
