I think Americans do expect a different level of facility and service than non-Americans. For starters, my room at night got to 27.5 Celsius. I called the front desk, and there was no English speaker to help. So I ”slept” or tried to sleep in a really hot room. The thermostat wouldn't let it get past 24.5 Celsius which is about 76 Ferinheit. I think by America standards that is not a typical room temperature, especially for a hotel. In the morning, at 9:00 AM actually I had my host explain to the front desk, in Turkish that my room was hot, and the thermostat doesn't work. They said they'd address it. I return at 5:00 PM. Nothing has changed, and room still not cleaned, in spite of leaving the light on for cleaning. Still hot. Back to the front desk. Very hard time explaining to the staff. They said it would be an hour before they can fix the AC. I have a 7:00 dinner, and I'd like to do some work, and freshen up. Really annoying. Then you can add it is a non smoking room that smells exactly like smoke. The room has 1 towel, and no wash cloth. That's annoying. The bed is hard too. The lobby bar is not really staffed, and they don't speak English either. That's fine, I am in Turkey, but it is left without staff more than it has staff. There is a 27 inch TV too, which is weird. Either have a TV big enough to see, or don't. A little TV is more annoying then not having one at all. The hotel is safe, and clean. I can't see staying here or recommending it.
Odd title for this hotel, but you cannot believe how much of a struggle it is to find this hotel online even after it was booked for us! First of all, it is a generic name - Ankara and Hotel feature prominently in the name in which there are hundreds of hotels in Ankara and you are bombarded with ads or other hotels. Secondly, I am great at such things and finding out and even I struggled. Thirdly, it was worse when we were in Turkey as the websites all come up in Turkish and you spend valuable time translating etc on a cell phone with data! If you cannot rename it, add a unique identifier to it. Second gripe and the final one - this hotel is right outside the main train station at Ankara. We arrived by train from Istanbul, presumably a popular way for people to come to this hotel. Was there a single sign on the station? Nope.. Misleadingly, an elevator on one side of the station has a huge sign outside displaying an ad/banner for this which could be taken as the elevator to the hotel. Nope! It just goes down to the ground floor. So you have to exit the station, turn left and keep walking past some cafes and then come to the entrance. Once you are there, the hotel is magnificent, modern and spacious in every way. Staff is courteous and the onsite restaurant looks good though we did not use it. The rooms are very modern with every comfort, fancy buttons to set room status to buys, do not disturb, please clean etc etc. There are many empty well laid out floors with seating areas etc so you do not have to sit in your room. An office/working area too if you so wish. All in all, great value, excellent facilities, great staff, just let down by the previous two gripes.
When I enquired how to arrive at the hotel from the airport I received a helpful reply on how to take a bus or taxi. Then when I got there I had a nice welcome. I liked my single room which was cosy and located on the corner of the building - lots of light and a balcony overlooking the impressive mosque opposite. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of toiletries in the newly renovated little shower room. The gentleman at reception provided a hairdryer. I stayed for three nights and slept well. Each member of staff I met was friendly and welcoming. Thank you all for a enjoyable visit to Ankara.
Otele girdiğimizden itibaren güler yüzlü ve sıcakkanlı değerli arkadaşlar bize odamıza kadar eşlik ettiler odaya girdiğimizde birçok 5 yıldızlı otelden daha konforlu ve temizdi ayrica oda içindeki jakuzi zamanininizi daha iyi geçirmeniz için gerçekten mükemmel bir aktiviteydi genel olarak beğendik Ankara'ya tekrar geldiğimizde kesinlikle burayi tercih edeceğim ve çevreme önereceğim . Herşey için teşekkür ederiz .
The hotel is charming. There is a really nice Scottish pub inside the hotel itself (Old Harpist). Average breakfast. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to many eateries and pubs in Tunali. The rooms are pretty small. The bedding is good. However, the walls are not soundproof and thus if you wish to have a restful sleep it may go wrong in case you happen to have a noisy neighbor in a close by room. This is the reason why we moved to a different hotel in the area after two nights. Otherwise it's value for money.

訪訪客用戶Located on the hillslope in the south of Kizlay, for walking it is not easy to reach. The room is very clean but there's no lid of the dust bin in the bathroom, so if we throw used paper from toilet it will be stinking. Shower gels and shampoo had very strong mint smell and not comfortable before sleep. Breakfast is average and there's no juice and only cold and hot water with tea bags are available, had only very small portion of meat and no sausage, no omlet but only boiled egg. The most negative part was that the Internet was so slow and even some foreign websites were not accessible at all. Overall it is not bad but there's much to improve and not competitive with other hotels in Ankara.
訪訪客L'hotel è distante dai punti di interesse della città ed è necessario utilizzare l'auto per raggiungerli. Piccolo parcheggio disponibile fuori dall'hotel e in strada. La camera è molto spaziosa, pulita e luminosa. Anche la colazione semplice, ma variegata. Nel complesso un buon soggiorno.
訪訪客Sıkça tercih ettiğimiz bir yer ve her zaman olduğu gibi çok memnun kaldık. Güleryüzlü personeli ve konforu ile gerçek bir fiyat performans oteli. Denediğinizde asla pişman olmayacaksınız. Rahatlıkla aile veya çift, arkadaş grubu ya da tekli olarak tercih edilebilir.
訪訪客the very basics in accommodation; in need of some maintenance here and there; breakfast adequate; handy to a lot of transport and sites; the price is good; the photos are a bit deceiving; pillows are uncomfortable and not conducive to a good night's sleep
