Cool hotel, 100 year old mansion ,filled with character and atmosphere. Just a really cool place to spend a night in Kars.

Hotel is in an historical building dating back to the time Kars was part of Russia in a quiet area. Rooms are very tidy and the quality of the breakfast is very good. Best bed and pillow I ever had in an hotel, since they were not too soft. Kars city is small, hence everything can be reached by foot.

When we arrived, we were upgraded to a suite. Our room was very clean, spacious and well appointed (good bathroom, comfortable bed). Cheltikov hotel is located in an ancient russian mansion and is nicely decorated. Buffet breakfast was good with a large choice of cheese (Kars is famous for its cheese), cakes, jams and so on. Moreover, the location is very good, a few minutes walk to the citadel and to Atatürk street where there are many restaurants and cafes. There's also a nice garden at the back of the hotel.

The staff was kind and did its best to help us but the only weak point is that nobody speaks English. In spite of that, they organized a taxi for us to go to Ani archeological site.

I love this hotel! my second time and I hope not the last ! So comfortable, spacious and beautiful !

I wish the people working in such a classy hotel would speak some English

Cheltikov has a definite "old world" aura to it, and on an overcast day (no rarity in Kars) its black tufa stone exterior gives it a rather sombre, even grim, aspect. But it's a pretty comfortable hotel and located within an easy walk of many eating places, shops of all kinds, impressive Kars Kalesi and many smaller buildings of historical and architectural interest. My room was very comfortable and well-heated - a necessity even in May, with night-time temperatures at or sllghtly below zero. Staff were competent and helpful, though without any significant language skills. The immediate neighbourhood has evidently been through pretty hard times in the relatively recent past, but now looks to be slowly undergoing something of a renaissance. And it's calm and safe. The same might be said of the hotel. I'd stay here again.

i wish they had an elevator! Wifi was a bit wobbly and at times internet dropped out completely. Breakfast included a vast range of Turkish cheeses but was otherwise pretty ordinary.

Myself and my son checked into the hotel and was shown to our room. The hotel was clean but very dark inside. I did not feel comfortable to stay the night so I phoned around for another hotel and we left. There is no meal facilities it just offers breakfast. I cannot comment on the breakfast as we did not stay. Personally I prefer a lighter brighter hotel more central. My husband booked this hotel for myself and my son. For me this hotel was just not for me due to the very dark rooms and decor.

Beautiful old hotelGood location- near all the tourist sitesBreakfast was quite generous

One big problem- Kars is HOT in summer, and this hotel has no AC. It does say that on their listing, I should have read more carefully. First night, I was on the first floor over-looking the main street. Got no sleep at all- heat plus street dogs barking all night. To be fair, I asked for another room and they gave me a much quieter one on the top floorStaff don't speak any English- Google translate at the ready

The breakfast was good, and the building is lovely. Our room was very large and furnished and lighted in a manner that felt homey.

The hotel is located a bit out of the center of town, but we didn't mind the walk.

A beautiful very well preserved grand old mansion on a quiet cul-de-sac, but within easy walking distance of town, restaurants and shopping. The rooms are truly beautiful. The were three floors and no elevator but the staff carried all our luggage and walking up 3 flights was no problem at all. Very friendly staff.

Perhaps more varieties of Turkish foods at the Turkish breakfast. But really the breakfast was quite adequate.

Everything! A beautiful grand old very well preserved building with exquisite rooms on a quiet cul-de-sac, but close walking distance to town, restaurants and shops.

Perhaps a little bit more variety of food at the Turkish breakfast.

very helpful staff at the reception-helped me with my Ani-trip more than enough breakfast possibilitiesfantastic bed, so comfortable so thankful that heating was on because it was despite month of may very coldamazing classical place 5 minutes to the castle

completely happy

Great breakfast, however the honey was cut with corn syrup (something we encountered many time at other place but not worthy of such a stately establishment). The building is simply beautiful with great photographs. It is close to the tourist area of old town. The wood paneling is wonderful

There is no lift and our room was on the third floor. Do NOT leave your window open since the call to prayer will wake you up at 03h00 and this guy goes full out for at least an hour! No English is spoken and the receptionist tried to use this as an excuse to double charge me for the room even though I had the booking.com proof of payment. If you want to drink a beer you are not allowed on the street and need to sit in an abandoned quart yard at the back of the hotel. No fun. Some of the restoration work on the hotel is not done in sympathy with the original design which is a pity since it is such a beautiful old building.

good and quiet atmosphere. Fine breakfast.

the rooms were not cleaned during our stay.

It is a very beautiful hotel and I loved my room, clean and spacious. Stuff is very friendly and professional. It is located quiet area, but near Kars castle, cafe, shops and restaurants.

The hotel is set in a historical Russian building which looks amazing. The room is also quite spacious and clean. Its location is great since it is very close to the citadel of Kars. The breakfast was nice as well and their cheese selection is simply amazing as Kars is famous for its cheese products.

The place is gorgeous, comfortable, and the location is great.

The staff weren’t very helpful. They didn’t seem to know much about the area and weren’t really keen on finding information for us. We had to search for tour guides on our own. One of the maids kept side eyeing us too, so it made us feel uncomfortable.

Relatively central location, nice old Russian building (from outside).

Everything used and old, not clean. Generally, very bad shape, owners seem not to care at all.The staff seemed nice but no one spoke any English...

Breakfast and friendly staff

All good
