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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

great sightseeing

In an easy to find place. It was a great experience to see Anıtkabir with the lights on its covered terrace at night. It has smiling staff and a very sweet cook. They are always around you and polite. Breakfast was clean, tasty and sufficient. You should definitely evaluate the location, price and performance of the product.

Konaklama

Otel çalışanları iyiydi yardımcı olmaya çalıştılar ama oda temizliği çok kötüydü ilk girdiğimiz oda resmen lağım kokuyordu ve çok gürültülüydü resepsiyondaki hanımefendi bizi başka bir odaya alarak ilgilendi diğer oda da çok pisti lavabolar kapkara olmuştu tuvalet kağıdı yoktu yataklarda saçlar vardı

Otel gayet temiz ve konforluydu. Odaların büyüklüğü ve kullanılan malzemelerin kalitesi had safhadaydı. Otelin konumu da çok merkezi ve canlı bir semtte bulunuyor.

temiz, düzenli, sorunsuz

2 gece konakladık, çalışanların ilgi-alakası güler yüzlü olmaları hoştu, giriş saatimiz gelmemesine rağmen eşyalarımızı aldılar sorun yaşarsanız çözüm odaklılar, konumu çok iyi, kahvaltısındaki ürünler taze ve lezzetl ayrıca kahvaltı salonunun dizaynı ferah ve hoştu, odalarda temizliğe önem verildiği belli oluyor yastık ve yorganlarda kir, iz vs. yoktu. biz ihtiyaç duymamış olsak da tek eksik olarak odada mini buzdolabı olmaması diyebilirim. zemin katında eğlence mekanı mevcut gece 12-1 e kadar müzik çalmasına rağmen 3. kattan pek hissetmedik. genel olarak memnun kaldık tekrar tercih edilebilir kesinlikle.

Tavsiye Ederim

Genç, ilgili ve güler yüzlü bir ekibi var. Oda temizliği gayet iyiydi. Ankara’nın işlek caddelerine yakın olması ayrıca güzel, ailece gidilebilecek güzel bir otel. Kahvaltısı da gayet yeterli ve güzeldi. Tavsiye ederim.

Genel anlamda olumluydu. Temizlik mükemmel değilse de iyiydi. Rezervasyon yapılan odanın dışında bir oda veriliyor. Ben sorun olmadığı için verilen odayı kabul ettim. Fakat hangi oda seçilmişse buna hassasiyet gösterilmeli. Tekrardan tercih edebileceğim bir konaklamaydı. Teşekkürler.
