And Hotel

The building is an authentic ottoman era reconstruction. My only negative comment would be that it was a bit difficult to arrive by taxi as it is right inside the castle wall. The manager arranged for a car to take us to the airport at 7:30 AM, which was a lifesaver.

The place was well located in the old town, quiet and with good wifi and reasonably good breakfast. It was a pity that some aspects required for our comfort were only provided after we asked. Tea and coffee were not available contrary to what it said in the description.

This is a lovely authentic propert right in the heart of the old Citidel. Driving there was “interesting” on a busy Saturday and very tight trough the city portals. Parking was okay it was just in the very tight street by the property and we left the hire car keys at reception in case the needed moving. The only unusual aspect was not having an entrance key and having to knock to get in. There were 2 side gates which we could have entered through if we’d had a key. I loved the hotel and if I was to return to Ankara would definitely use it again. You are absolutely in the heart of most of the worthy sites in Ankara.

Overall, the room was generally great. tastefully done, and offers a nice breakfast. That being said, the check-in experience could have been smoother. Every person who travels should always plan to learn some of the language in order to communicate with locals, but it could also be said that hotels, especially those receiving foreign guests, should staff the reception area with people who have multilingual skill sets. In the case of this hotel, there were no English, Russian, or additional language speakers available, which made the check in more difficult. I do not believe Turkish is a language people can easily learn, especially if only for 1 day. Moreover, the process for paying is so universal, that the amount of difficulty getting this process complete is something they should refine. Is the expectation that someone should learn Turkish for one day of travel in a city? That seems a bit extreme and counter to most hotels accepting international travelers. And since the process did not include any overt way to find a 3rd language, I feel the process proved to be more difficult than necessary. Other than that, the hotel is fantastic, well renovated, and in an ideal location. Breakfast is good too. I would still recommend the place, but I would encourage people to learn a little Turkish and perhaps, the staff to work on including more multilingual workers to make the process smoother.
