Otel Yıldız Iğdır (Star Hotel Iğdır) is a compact budget property on Yıldız Sokak in the centre of Iğdır city, the administrative capital of eastern Turkey's Iğdır Province. The hotel occupies a modest building on a quiet side street and caters primarily to commercial travellers, truck drivers transiting the cross-border routes and budget-focused tourists stopping in Iğdır en route to Mount Ararat, Armenia or the Iran border. Single and Double rooms are furnished simply with beds, flat-screen televisions, fan or air-conditioning units and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are private and en-suite in most room categories. At rates starting from approximately ₺830 per night, the hotel represents one of the more affordable options for a private room in Iğdır city centre. Breakfast is available for an additional charge and can be arranged with reception the evening before — a typical Turkish spread of tea, bread, cheese, olives and eggs. The property does not feature a restaurant, fitness centre or spa, but its central location on Yıldız Sokak keeps guests within a short walk of local lokantas (traditional diners), tea houses and the city's main commercial street. The Iğdır intercity bus station is reachable in around 10 to 15 minutes on foot. For travellers arriving by road from Erzurum or Van and needing a no-frills overnight base in Iğdır Province before continuing to the Armenian border crossing at Alican or south toward Doğubeyazıt, Otel Yıldız provides a clean, inexpensive and centrally located option. The hotel name — Yıldız, meaning star — reflects the ambitions of a provincial establishment offering straightforward hospitality without significant frills.
