Ankara Hotel

Ankara


This contemporary hotel opened next door to Ankara train station in 2018. There's a bar-cafe in the vast foyer and the minimalist-style rooms are decked out with blond-wood accents, floor-to-ceiling windows and ridiculously big flat-screen TVs. Outside of peak times, you can often bag a room for half the going rates. Check online for deals.
