Hotel Temel

The staff went out of their way to make me feel very welcome. I have stayed with them twice once on the way to Georgia and when I returned from Georgia, in order to return to Istanbul and then Bulgaria. The prices for the rooms were good, its in a convenient location about 5 minutes walk to the bus station The breakfast was good and as I am a coffee drinker, this was available. A staff member also provided me with laundry services, which was appreciated All in all its a good place to stay while in Kars Turkey

First I want to say the reason I give my stay 5 stars, is because of the excellent service to the employees, they have so much passion and are so friendly. I don't speak a word of turkish and they don't speak a word of English, but with Google translate they helped me book tours and busses and answer all my questions. The hotel is old fashioned, the rooms could use a new layer of paint, but it is clean, the breakfast was also more then I expect is really good. Don't expect a 5 star hotel experience but in my opinion you get way more then what you pay for (hotel was cheapest in the whole city).

Period hotel with character, clean and friendly staff. You will get a good night sleep here. The only downside breakfast is poor but there are many food places nearby. If I am passing through I would use the hotel again.
