About this place The Ankara Hotel

The Ankara Hotel is a large business hotel on Celal Bayar Boulevard in the Eti neighbourhood of Çankaya, Ankara's central district. It's a mainstream hotel tagged gay-friendly. It is not a gay venue, and nothing on record goes beyond ordinary hospitality. Google rates it 4.2 from nearly 2,000 reviews, and its guests are mostly conference and business travellers. Kızılay and the ministries are a short taxi ride away. Turkey has no legal protections for LGBTQ+ people, and Pride events in Ankara have been banned for years. Discretion in public is the sensible default, even in mainstream hotels in the capital.

We were very pleased with everything during our stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was quite varied and delicious. The location is also very advantageous in terms of access to many places. We felt right at home. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a peaceful and enjoyable holiday. It will be one of our preferred addresses when we come back, and I would also like to thank Ms. Refika for her help and support...

I was very pleased with my stay at The Ankara Hotel. The hotel's location is very central, making it easy to reach many places. The rooms were extremely clean, tidy, and comfortable. The staff were friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything. The variety and quality of the breakfast exceeded my expectations. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is calm, elegant, and peaceful. The attention to cleanliness also deserves praise. It is a high-quality hotel that can be confidently chosen for those coming to Ankara for business or tourism purposes. The importance they place on guest satisfaction is felt in every detail. It is a facility I will choose again on my visits to Ankara. Thank you to all the staff involved.

No train sound is coming from here. The water in the bathroom is yellow.

*Most important information: The entrance is located outside the station. You have to go outside, turn left all the way, and then turn left again to find the entrance. If you are arriving in Ankara by train, I recommend staying here. However, since the windows in many of the hotel rooms open toward the inside of the train station, the rooms can feel quite stuffy. It might be hard to bear. If possible, be sure to request a room with a window that opens outwards, even if it costs extra. The facilities and space are excellent compared to hotels in the city center. Also, although the hotel is located inside the station, the entrance is outside, so you must go outside, turn left, and then go to the entrance. Once you receive your room key, you can freely enter and exit the station through the passageway connected next to the restaurant on the 3rd floor. There are some slightly damaged parts in the facilities. The shaving mirror is on the verge of falling off, the bathroom mirror light is broken and keeps flickering, and the desk lamp also flickers on and off. Additionally, the shower booth floor is poorly constructed, so drainage is poor. Even if you arrive by plane, the airport bus arrives immediately, making it convenient, and it is easy to get into the city using public transportation. It is a bit far from the bus terminal. I have to take the subway. However, in Ankara, it is not easy to buy a transportation card, and if you want to use public transportation with a credit card, only VISA cards work.
