About this hotel
The ten-minute taxi ride to Esenboğa Airport puts Holiday Inn Express Ankara - Airport by IHG in the closest tier of hotels tracked for this airport, and the listed airport shuttle gives travellers a second way to make that trip without arranging a cab. Rooms are air-conditioned and the whole property runs smoke-free, a detail worth knowing for anyone sensitive to it after a long flight. A bar and restaurant handle food on site, and free breakfast is included rather than a paid add-on, useful for an early check-out before a morning departure. With a 4.4 rating, it holds one of the stronger guest scores among the airport-adjacent hotels near Esenboğa, backed by free parking for anyone leaving a car during a longer trip.

Our take
This suits business travellers and transit passengers who want a reliable ten-minute link to Esenboğa without paying extra for breakfast, which is included here unlike at several nearby competitors. The shuttle adds flexibility for anyone without cash for a taxi. Families wanting a pool or spa should look toward Anadolu Otel Esenboğa Termal instead, since this property keeps its amenities focused on a quick, efficient stay rather than a longer one.
- Confirm the airport shuttle schedule at check-in rather than assuming it runs on demand, some slots fill up during peak flight times.
- Take advantage of the included breakfast even on an early departure, service often starts before many nearby hotels open theirs.
- Request a non-smoking floor confirmation if sensitive to smell, the whole property runs smoke-free but room placement still varies.
Why we love it
- A built-in airport shuttle alongside the taxi option
- Free breakfast included rather than a paid add-on
- A smoke-free property throughout
- A 4.4 rating among the airport's closest hotels
Why guests love itGuests passing through Esenboğa on a tight schedule single out the free breakfast and the shuttle option as the two details that make Holiday Inn Express Ankara - Airport by IHG easier than most nearby alternatives, since neither costs extra or requires arranging a taxi in advance. The smoke-free rooms read as clean and predictable rather than distinctive, which suits a one-night stopover better than a longer trip. Business travellers note the reliable Wi-Fi and the short run back to the terminal as the property's real strengths.
