I spent several hours researching hotels near the YHT (Ankara Gari) train station, government buildings, and good restaurants — and I’m so glad I chose this one. It checked all the boxes: excellent location, reasonable price, and clean, modern rooms as shown in the pictures.
Check-in was smooth and welcoming. Although my international credit card didn’t work (a common issue in Turkey), the front desk attendant was very friendly and helpful. He made a sincere effort despite limited English, and even gave us a great dinner recommendation nearby.
The room was spotless, modern, and quiet. Though a bit tight for two adults and a toddler, it was more than comfortable for a one-night stay. The bathroom was immaculate, towels fresh, and amenities provided (slippers, toiletries, etc). The A/C worked perfectly with adjustable settings, and the windows opened to a lovely tree-lined street. Décor was tasteful, lighting well-designed, and outlets were conveniently placed for phone charging.
The bed was cozy, though the pillow was slightly firm for my taste (I prefer memory foam). Everything else — sheets, blanket, and overall cleanliness — was top-notch. The TV included Netflix and Amazon Prime, and there was even a mini-fridge in the room.
The location was a big highlight — peaceful street yet just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and key government offices. It felt safe and beautiful.
Breakfast exceeded expectati
