Reviews
There was an unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke in the room.
Room facilities could be newer and cleaner.
Breakfast could be served warmer.
On the positive side, the staff were excellent, and the location and accessibility were really great.
The hotel's location is excellent, just a 5-10-minute walk from Kızılay.
The cleanliness of the rooms and common areas was quite good.
We were pleased with the regular daily cleaning.
The breakfast was plentiful and delicious.
For a 3-star hotel, the service quality far exceeded our expectations.
The staff is friendly, helpful, and very attentive to guests.
When we opened the window in our room, there was a slight humming noise from outside, but with the window closed, we had no problems.
I think they would have helped us immediately if we had asked to change rooms, but it was entirely our choice to open the balcony door and not use the air conditioning.
For the price-performance ratio, I can definitely recommend this hotel, and it will be our choice again when we return to Ankara.
