We were treated as honored guests at this beautiful hotel. Situated less then 10 minutes walk from the centre of Kars, Katerina Sarayi is bordered on one side by a lovely garden next to the rushing Kars Stream, and a steep, rocky rise to Kars Castle at the back. This is fairy tale accommodation, with beautiful rooms, excellent breakfast and royal attentivenes /courtesy from management and staff. Drinks - hot and cold - were always available in the garden and the lobby is warm and cosy, despite the formal antique decor. The resident cat adds extra atmosphere. The only negative aspect was communication before arrival. I tried messages through Wotif and the 2 email addresses on the hotel website, which bounced, so I could not confirm the booking, payment details or make transport reservations. There is not much English spoken, so it was also too difficult by phone. It all worked out however, and we had a wonderful stay - thank you!

This is a very historic hotel. It’s located at the base of the Kars Citadel which was nice. WiFi was non existent in my room. I had to go to the lobby to get a weak Signal. I was woken up throughout the night due to dogs barking. The breakfast was decent and the coffee delicious. The hotel does not offer tours or transportation at the front desk as the website states. Taxi is what they will book for you—including to Ani. Having a hot tea outside by the river was quite nice. There was even cats to keep you company. If it wasn’t for the issue with the dogs, WiFi accessibility and transportation I would rate it a 10/10. But these three issues were important ones for me. So I’d give them a 5/10. I checked out after the first day and now at a central location where none of these issues exist. I even revived accurate information on getting to Ani by shuttle bus. Amazing. A very nice, historic hotel but I won’t be returning

Hotel Katarina has a lovely vibe with its historic theme and beautiful view of the river. They do wine nights on weekends with live music which are worth the join.

The building itself was nice, reminded me of those dark Russian buildings. Our room was fine but very, very stinky from bleach. I have asthma and was dying inside. There was only one window with the mosquito net so it took forever to air the smell out. We were surprised to hear that they don’t have a restaurant, according to Google they do, so we just walked into town to eat. They do have little tables by the river for drinks only. Otherwise no food. Breakfast was good. My concern was that I contacted this property many times prior to arriving and never received a reply. When we were checking in they looked surprised to see us and asked if we have a reservation… When I showed them the Expedia printout they asked how long ago I booked lol. It was like 4 months prior! Does it even matter? We did get a room but staff looked like they couldn’t care more so I wouldn’t have been surprised if they sent us away.

Beautiful history hotel!
We loved our stay here! The staff was kind and helpful! The breakfast had a wonderful buffet and tons of options for every guest. Our room was spacious and perfect for our little family of 3. It snowed the day we visited and the view of the river and surrounding area was magical. It is on the backside of the castle, but you can still walk to most sites (about 15 minutes).

An excellent hotel in Kars, run by a wonderful team of staff. They're delightful and it was a pleasure to stay there. The location is beautiful, and isn't as far from the centre of town as some people say it is. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I would definitely return.
