Lovely place to stay

All the staff where wonderful particularly Betül and Emra. The rooms where nice, very clean with comfortable beds. The only negative was the music in the evening, coming from the bar next door.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
In overall everything was good. Not much options on the breakfast, but still satisfying. Staff is friendly and helpful. Double room is big enough and the presence of a balcony is very pleasing. One minus is noises from the pub downstairs and from the street, if you an early sleeper or with kids not the best place to stay. But we really enjoyed our stay.

great sightseeing

In an easy to find place. It was a great experience to see Anıtkabir with the lights on its covered terrace at night. It has smiling staff and a very sweet cook. They are always around you and polite. Breakfast was clean, tasty and sufficient. You should definitely evaluate the location, price and performance of the product.

Terrible experience

The staff was very nice, however the room we got was right next to the lift and there was no soundproofing , and we could hear everything from the hallway and the street. The bathroom didn’t appear to be that clean, there was no seal on the toilet and we only had two half opened toilet paper rolls. We stayed for two nights and we would be headed somewhere else but we had another night booked two days after so we talked to the people in the reception and asked please to get another room , away from the lift because I have trouble sleeping. The person who I think was manager or something of sorts told us that yes, for sure they would find us another room more on the middle of the hallway. Two days later there we were, we checked in again and for our surprise they assigned us the same room. We asked if they didn’t have any other. The receptionist said no and we explained that the “manager” who was also there had said we would give us another. They moved us one floor up, but for our surprise the room was even worse. It smelled damp, we had only one inch of toilet paper, and the noise from the street was deafening. Besides that at 4:3 in the morning the sound from the mosque could be heard as if we were standing next to it. So no sleep again. All in all it was a terrible experience.

Otel çalışanları iyiydi yardımcı olmaya çalıştılar ama oda temizliği çok kötüydü ilk girdiğimiz oda resmen lağım kokuyordu ve çok gürültülüydü resepsiyondaki hanımefendi bizi başka bir odaya alarak ilgilendi diğer oda da çok pisti lavabolar kapkara olmuştu tuvalet kağıdı yoktu yataklarda saçlar vardı

temiz, düzenli, sorunsuz

2 gece konakladık, çalışanların ilgi-alakası güler yüzlü olmaları hoştu, giriş saatimiz gelmemesine rağmen eşyalarımızı aldılar sorun yaşarsanız çözüm odaklılar, konumu çok iyi, kahvaltısındaki ürünler taze ve lezzetl ayrıca kahvaltı salonunun dizaynı ferah ve hoştu, odalarda temizliğe önem verildiği belli oluyor yastık ve yorganlarda kir, iz vs. yoktu. biz ihtiyaç duymamış olsak da tek eksik olarak odada mini buzdolabı olmaması diyebilirim. zemin katında eğlence mekanı mevcut gece 12-1 e kadar müzik çalmasına rağmen 3. kattan pek hissetmedik. genel olarak memnun kaldık tekrar tercih edilebilir kesinlikle.

Tavsiye Ederim

Genç, ilgili ve güler yüzlü bir ekibi var. Oda temizliği gayet iyiydi. Ankara’nın işlek caddelerine yakın olması ayrıca güzel, ailece gidilebilecek güzel bir otel. Kahvaltısı da gayet yeterli ve güzeldi. Tavsiye ederim.
