Ankara Travel Forum

Hi,

I'll be traveling Ankara from mid dec to early jan this year. Im visiting people at the METU college and am looking for a place to stay. I don't mind paying 30 dollars a nite, but the place must be safe and located within walking distance of the campus. I've searched several online services, but none of them have any hostels.

Can someone help me?

Hi,

Didn't you try to stay in METU Campus?

I am from Istanbul and my info is limited about Ankara, but I have been to METU and stayed in Teachers Guest House far from the Campus.

Cheap hotels are gathered in Ulus in Ankara, far from METU but close to centrum. I don't think there is a hotel near METU.

Try to contact SirVictor from Ankara, he is very knowledgeable and helpful member.

Cheers.

Thank you Alper, I have read his post but I couldnt find a reasonable answer to help our TV friend. It is not a custom of Turks to share their rooms with students like in Europa or USA. For that reason it is very hard to find a place for a student for a short time. The dormitory of METU is OK.
Sorry I can not help. This is the only branch that I can not help.

Thanks for all the help.

Yes METU has guesthouses, but I have been having trouble contacting them to secure a room. However a few of my friends have found a room for me with one of their friends. Hopefully this will work out.

Thanks for everyones help!! It is very much appreciated.
