This five-star hotel is a favourite with both business and leisure travellers looking for full amenities and superior service. The hotel boasts a pool, spa, hammam and gym, and there is excellent shopping right on the doorstep at the Atrium Mall. Rooms are generously-sized and suitably plush for the price.

One of Ankara's most atmospheric hotels, this luxury property is set inside the restored Çukurhan caravanserai building which dates back to the 16th century. Rooms boldly fuse Turkish and Asian decoration with contemporary, colourful design, while the central courtyard holds onto its historic features but has a glass roof.

This prominent landmark hotel soars high above the central city and offers unrivalled views of Ankara's bustling Kavaklıdere district. Rooms are classically styled in earthy tones and come with full modern amenities, while the hotel has bars and restaurants, a pool and fitness centre.

Painstaking restoration has transformed this old Turkish mansion into a delightfully cosy boutique hotel that brims with history. Good-sized rooms come with colourful Turkish textiles and dark wood features while the location, snug inside the citadel district, can't be beaten if you're looking to experience a slice of Ankara's history.

This smart business hotel offers well-appointed, large rooms decked out in a soft, neutral toned palette and boasting generously proportioned walk-in showers in the bathrooms. Staff are professional and helpful, and the large complimentary buffet breakfast will fuel you up for a long day of sightseeing.

For a mid-range, comfortable option, this place takes some beating. Highly popular with both business and leisure travellers, Abro's minimalist-style, spacious rooms are fitted out with modern amenities and are in a prime Kızılay location, close to Ankara's vibrant cafe and restaurant scene.

This is a solid budget choice in downtown Ulus which punches above its weight, offering decent-sized rooms freshly decorated in light colours, comfortable beds and modern amenities. Staff don't speak much English but are very friendly and helpful.

Nestled amongst the alleyways of the citadel district, this charming small hotel delivers oodles of cosy appeal, wrapped up in a restored, wooden Ottoman mansion. The outdoor courtyard is a tranquil escape from the city, while the smallish rooms have original Ottoman features but are decorated in a modern style.

Neat and tidy (though small) rooms, friendly staff who speak some English and a central location are the major bonuses at this downtown Ulus hotel, just off the main road. The included breakfast is very good and unlike a lot of hotels in the Ulus district, rooms aren't too noisy.
