Ankara Hotels
Much of the accommodation in Ankara is aimed at the business market, so there are few atmospheric choices except in the citadel district (Ankara Kalesi). Downtown Ulus is best for budget hotels, Kızılay for moderate, and Kavaklıdere and around the nearby embassy districts for luxury options.
The hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over 240 TL)
Moderate (120 to 240 TL)
Cheap (up to 120 TL)
The prices quoted above are the starting prices for a standard double room and include taxes and breakfast unless otherwise specified.
