Angora House Hotel

Top choice in Ankara


Be utterly charmed by this restored Ottoman house set within the citadel neighbourhood. The six rooms are infused with old-world atmosphere and simply decorated with dark wood accents. One of the best breakfast feasts – served outside in the courtyard – in Turkey awaits you in the morning and staff are delightfully helpful.
