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.

Several other hotels in Kars were booked out. While the Sirin was nowhere near my first choice it turned out to be adequate for a 1 night stay. The hotel has an interesting design from the outside, perhaps best described as Ottoman style. The receptionist had very little English but went out of his way to be helpful even calling soon after I had gone to the room to offer complimentary Turkish coffee. The hotel is a bit scruffy with very stained carpets, a bit of mould in the shower and a broken glass light shade. That aside the room was very clean and large with a double bed and a separate single bed plus a table and a couple of chairs. There was also a small fridge but it didn’t feel cold inside. Perhaps it was unplugged somewhere or not cold because the power was off when the room was not in use. The room itself was very warm in spite of the sub-zero outside temperature and the street was quiet. The hotel is situated on the edge of the main downtown area in easy walking distance of a good supermarket, restaurants and other shops. On the downside, the wifi was appalling when it actually worked which it didn’t much of the time anyway. Don’t count on it. The in-house restaurant serves only breakfast so don’t count on that either for other meals. Finally, the hotel was supposed to have ordered a taxi to get me to the train station early in the morning and even told me how much it would cost but there was no taxi to be seen at the departure time. I expect this was the taxi’s fault not the hotel’s but it was stressful none the less. Fortunately, there is a taxi stand half a block away with a driver sleeping inside a little cabin next to a couple of taxis so I didn’t miss my train. Overall, the Sirin is fine for 1-2 nights with good proximity to most things and most of the desired comforts with the exception of stable wifi.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights during the 1st week of September 2022. The hotel is charming to say the least, the room was very comfortable and quiet, the internet connection was good. Their breakfast was delicious and of good quality and fresh items, especially the cheese, which is the specialty of the region. The staff were very nice and helpful, in particular Mr. Ahmet who speaks very good English as well. They have an outdoor area, which seems to be the THE attraction for romantic couples, where they come and enjoy the mix of sounds from the stream, the music, the birds, and enjoy a drink or a cup of tea and some pastries. Highly recommended.

Hotel center is at walking distance - train station 15-20 minutes walking distance, airport - hotel has 15 minutes of buses from the old gar and the buses can be left to the ski center if you tell the driver that there are buses available and returns from the same place with a shot They'll take you on the tours and what the unit Ani-Çıldır-kafkas museum leads to the day ***and the 300 TRL Hotel rooms are hot, small but not enough for one person, but they don't fear, rooms are very luxurious, but are not so safe as family hotels - Warmen's gentlemen - if you say that Nurbay and Ceyhun have come to walk friends and helpers on all matters and that I should only be a place to sleep and that I should be a place that doesn't force my budget - I would say, do not hesitate.
