I travelled to Ankara for what was my first of many business visits. hotel was recommended by one of the local businessman. I found hotel to have only acceptable reception, loby and eating area.

I'm not hard to please but this place was a disappointment. I would rate this as a three-star rather than the five-star it claims to be. The hotel itself is like a relic from the 1970s which is OK if you like retro chic but I found it to be dated and in need of an upgrade. Also it's worth... more

It is an okay hotel--nothing more and nothing less. The thing I liked most about the hotel was its location. It is across the street from a grocery/ discount store, sort... more

We stayed here as part of a Gate 1 tour. The location is terrific, close to the trolley line. There are some restaurants close by and a food market. The hotel is definitely for business travelers and tour groups. Nothing outstanding ... either good nor bad. more

First appearances was very nice. We were with a group of 45 people and our room was on the 6th floor. Others of the group were on the 5th floor and had no knowledge of the problems. There was a wedding taking place on the 7th floor Ballroom and from 9pm to 12:30 pm we could not sleep due to... more
