Friendly staff, room in rough condition above pub

We chose this hotel because of the proximity to the bus station but we wish we stayed somewhere else. The hotel was in a rough condition. It was mostly clean but there are random holes and lots of wear and tear. Our room did not have a mini fridge. We did not have towels when we checked in. The bathroom had three small bottles of shampoo but no soap. The beds were not comfortable. One of the walls is all windows and we must have our key card in the slot for electricity, so when we return to our room in the late afternoon, it is very hot in the room. You must enter your passport number everytime you return to the room to log in to wifi. The hotel is right above a pub and it’s incredibly loud at night. People at the pub stand outside and smoke cigarettes and the smell and smoke came through the closed windows. Our clothes smelled like cigarettes. Several times at night we heard loud beeps in the hallway. We thought it was smoke alarms from the cigarette smoke but we learned in the morning that it was alarms on the room doors when someone doesn’t close the door all the way. The windows had blackout curtains but it did not matter because the AC unit above the bed had a bright white light that lit up the room. The breakfast was just okay. I would not stay here again.

In overall everything was good. Not much options on the breakfast, but still satisfying. Staff is friendly and helpful. Double room is big enough and the presence of a balcony is very pleasing. One minus is noises from the pub downstairs and from the street, if you an early sleeper or with kids not the best place to stay. But we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place to stay

All the staff where wonderful particularly Betül and Emra. The rooms where nice, very clean with comfortable beds. The only negative was the music in the evening, coming from the bar next door.

Otelin konumu oldukça iyiydi. Odaların konforu ve genişliği yerindeydi. Kahvaltısı oldukça başarılıydı. Tek sorun parktı. Otelin bir otoparkı olsaydı her şey gerçekten harika olabilirdi.

Fiyat/Performans

Odama yerleşirken bir sorunla karşılaştım fakat beni karşılayan kişi çok pozitif ve destekleyici bir şekilde çözüm önerisi sundu. Otel çok merkezi, diğer yorumlarda belirtildiği gibi altında bir mekan var fakat bizim konakladığımız gece 23.30 gibi ses bitti, rahatsız edici de değildi. Otelin çevresinde her türlü imkan vardı. Tekrar ankaraya gidecek olsam fiyat performans bir otel olduğu için tercih edebilirim.
