  Thermodynamics of the BTZ black hole in noncommutative geometry is studied.
We work out the Hawking temperature and entropy which reduce to their
commutative limits when the noncommutativity parameter tends to zero. We also
discuss the range of validity of the Hawking area law in the noncommutative
case and provide graphical analysis. We see that the law is not valid unless
the outer horizon is very large.
