Cheltikov Hotel

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
