About this hotel
The Ankara Hotel is a relaxed, mid-range stay thirty-one minutes from Esenboğa Airport by taxi, with a restaurant, a bar and room service covering meals without leaving the building. Meeting space and a business centre show a hotel built with work trips in mind, and an airport shuttle handles the transfer for guests without a car. Its rates sit in the middle of the range among the hotels tracked for this airport, above the true budget options but below Radisson Blu and the spa-focused Etap Altınel. That makes it a straightforward choice for a business stopover in central Ankara that does not need extra facilities. For a short layover, the half-hour drive to the terminal is the main thing I would weigh against it.

Our take
The Ankara Hotel suits business travellers who need meeting space, a business centre and a restaurant and bar within a mid-range Ankara stay. The airport shuttle bridges the thirty-one minutes to Esenboğa, and room service helps on late evenings. I would skip it for a short layover, but for a working stopover in the city it is a sensible, uncomplicated option.
- Book the airport shuttle in advance for peace of mind, the thirty-one-minute distance means a missed pickup costs real time.
- Reserve meeting space early if travelling for business, availability is limited during Ankara's busier conference periods.
- Check the bar and restaurant hours before a late arrival, service may end earlier than at larger hotels nearby.
Why we love it
- Meeting space and a business centre
- A restaurant and bar on site
- An airport shuttle covering the full Esenboğa run
- Room service for late arrivals
Why guests love itI would book The Ankara Hotel for a work trip with a night in central Ankara, when meeting space, a business centre and a restaurant on site keep the day simple. The thirty-one-minute taxi ride to Esenboğa makes it a weak pick for a tight connection, though the airport shuttle covers the distance. Room service and the bar help after a late arrival. Rooms are relaxed rather than distinctive, which suits a practical business stopover.
