Chrkan Hotel Overview

The Chrkan Hotel is a nice budget hotel located near the larger Ashti Hotel in town. The rooms are clean, though a bit small, very adequate for most traveler’s basic needs. The staff is helpful although best to know a few words of Arabic or Kurdish to communicate. There is also a restaurant on the ground floor that didn’t seem in use, but next door is a good local fare place to eat. Across the street there is a good grocery store for a variety of food and household items – and a liquor store right around the corner from that.
