Ankara Travel Forum

Hello Folks,

I was not able to find any hotels or hostels in Ankara online. Are there some? We are a party of 6 and would like to take a dorm or 2 triple rooms. The cheapest I found was:

Ogultürk: 37 EUR per double room
Hotel Hotel 2000 Aniteppe: 37 EUR per double room
Best Western Ornek Hotel: 37 EUR per double room

But actually this seems to be 3 stars hotel, and we don't need that. Prices are fine, but we read that we could get some hotels for 10-20 USD per person, and this would be fine as well. Any advice?

Which one of the above mentioned 3 hotels would you recommend more? We have a rental car that we want to park overnight in front of the hotel (on the street). Is this safe in Ankara?

i have the adresses of a couple of cheap hotels in ankara on my page.
these places have no webpage, but you can phone them ahead if you want to reserve.
you won't have a problem finding a cheap hotel in ankara though.
the area called ulus is full of cheap places to stay.
just expect the odd prostitue or two at the reception if you stay in one of the very cheap places.

We stayed at the Ogulturk (3 of us)in one triple room...the hotel itself was OK..bit musty..breakfast very good.

Only problem although lots of interesting sights to see,good pastry places nearby and easy walking distance to the museum..it was in a seedy part of the city (or so we were told)..we did not notice it so much but according to Tosun (a VT member based in Ankara) a lot of prostitutes frequented the area. We did not go out late at night so it wasn't too much of a problem.

Not sure about parking..I think this was available.. as for car being safe..can't comment on this either.

BTW I booked the hotel through an online hotel site..I'll have to look it up if you want me to.Send a comment back if you want me to investigate further.

ı recommend you to contanct with SirVictor(Real name Tosun Agabey).Send and e-mail to him he will help you about all the details.He is our expert and master.He is living in Ankara.

I do not recommend to you stay in out of the hotel.Ulus is like Time Square of Ankara.Everything can happen and every kind of people you can see.Old part ( from the 1930's) of Ankara.

Hello Alice and Ozan nice to meet you again. Frederic wrote me. I gave what I could say.
