Hotels Near Show Akvaryum in Ankara

Merhaba, öncelikle her iki ayda bir Ankara’ya iş seyahatim için geldiğimden bana en yakın konum olarak eski adıyla Anadolu otel, şimdi ki adıyla Grand Mercure olan otelde kalıyorum. 16 Mart 2022 tarihide otele giriş yaptığımda Grand Mercure olduğunu farkettim. İlk başta çok şaşırdım bilmiyordum çünkü ama içeri girdiğimde iyi ki değişmiş dedim. Çalışanlar çok sıcak kanlı, güleryüzle ve çok nazikler. Benim için önemli olan bir kaç şey vardır, bunlar şu şekildedir karşılama ve hizmet. Otelin her yerinde özelikle kahvaltı salonunda çalışan insanlar çok sıcak kanlı çok yardımsever ve nazikler. Çevre kontrolleri o kadar iyi ki tamamen müşteriye odaklılar. İhtiyacı karşılamak için hazır bekliyorlar. Burada bir çalışanınıza dikkat çekmek istiyorum. Kahvaltı salonunda çalışan Beyza Hanım gerçekten çok güleryüzle ve müşteri odaklı böyle bir çalışanınız olduğu için çok şanslısınız. Bir sonraki Ankara iş seyahatinde Grand Mercure de kalacağım hatta her iş seyahatimde Grand Mercure de kalmaya devam edeceğim. İnsan odaklı çalışan ve tamamen hizmet adı altında çıktığınız bu yolda sizlere hayırlı olmasını diliyorum. Başarılarınızın devamını diliyorum. Hizmet için teşekkür ediyorum.

I've stayed at this Marriott twice for business and it is the best hotel in Ankara. It's location is really nice across from teh UE Embassy and centrally located with easy access to most business and shopping. It has a complimentary garage below with easy in/out priviliges. The lobby area is massive, and very impressive. The staff are highly trained, courteous and helpful. The lobby bar serves any drink you can imagine and there is alsa a very nice steak restaurant at the entrance which also serves breakfast and lunch. The roof top bar is incredible with nice views of Ankara skyline and bands playing on the weekends (you will need reservations on the weekends). The rooms are well appointed with great views (see picture) and anything you need during your stay. The rooms are cleaned daily and come with both a soak in bathtub and a shower. The drink prices are comparable to what you would expect to spend in comparable hotels in Europe and the US. There is strict security at the entrance to the hotel which some might find it a bit too much, but I did not mind as it is safer than any hotel I've ever stayed in. The staff is really amazing fluent in English and Turkish (and maybe other languages). I really do not understand why this hotel can be less than 5 stars for its classification. It is the best Marriott I stayed in and I travel for work in the US and some in Europe.

I have visited the hotel for a business meeting and I got very pleasant surprised by it and its staff. The people in the hotel and the staff at the reception were very supportive and helped me with some urgent issues that appeared at the time of my stay. I am very satisfied and would love to come back if I have the chance.

I stayed for three nights, and could not have been happier with the comfort of the room, the COVID-cleanliness and precautions they took, and - most of all - the service from the staff. I needed help with an international call and in booking a ferry after I left the hotel: they helped with both. And they didn't need to ... my international call didn't go through from the room (probably my goof), and they placed the call for me. When I had tried to book a ferry to Istanbul on a website that kept finalizing the transaction in Turkish, they helped me sort out the inputs. AND when my US credit cards were not accepted, they even booked using a corporate card, and added the expense/no surcharge, to my room. Finally, when I left my camera in cab after leaving the hotel, they worked with my (future) tour leader in identifying the cab, holding the camera for me, and mailing it to me forward on the trip. They didn't have to do any of this: I'd already left the hotel ... but they were excellent in helping me out. The location is good, per the other reviews, but what really makes them stand apart is how they genuinely take care of the hotel guests both in general property conditions as well as making the stay a comfortable one.

The staff are GREAT, everything else is terrible. This hotel is one of the worse hotels we have stayed in, in a very longtime. It is OLD and very TIERED. The rooms were clean but felt dirty because everything was so old, the bathroom was from the 1950's, just horrible. The A/C did not work in the whole building, only the heat, we had to sleep with open balcony doors. The elevators are also very old and tiered, this whole building needs a serious renovation, or better yet, complete demolition and rebuild. There was no interior parking either, so guest cars stay in the all star sky parking. A hotel NEVER to stay at ever again.

I stayed at the Occidental hotel in Ankara for 3 nights in September 2024. The hotel is good. The double room that I was staying in was clean and comfortable. The bedsheets were refreshed every day. Though there was no regular prefilled minibar, nevertheless, the 24 hours room service with its variety of choices was excellent. The breakfast was decent, satisfying with variety of choices. The personnel were well mannered and professional and they could speak English well. The front desk team members whom I dealt with; Ms. Esra, Ms. Gulben and Mr. Kubilay, they were all efficient, welcoming with perfect communications skills and solving problem abilities, I sincerely thank all of them. I should also thank Mr. Can for his effective efforts all through. The locality of the hotel is wonderful. So many coffee shops, bars, restaurants and shopping outlets etc. are around the hotel. The area is so lively. I would definitely recommend the Occidental Ankara to stay and would be back there soon.

The location is amazing,very safe place and 1 minute walk distance to most popular avenue.Rooms are extra clean and luxury.I will definitely visit this place again as we enjoyed king room as a couple,however day shift reception staff were not happy to work as it was obvious from their behaviour, no welcoming, we entered the hotel and negatively they asked our IDs. No information given, no bellboy offered, and when we entered the reception they didn't even ask or tell anything as i told them that we had reservation.So nothing asked like 'how can i help you?' In this kind of quality hotels i wasn't expecting this.Moreover,they didn't even tell us our floor so i guessed it from the number on our card! During their shift all they did were staring at us badly when we were going in and out.Housekeeping lady were much more positive and helpful.After we checked in to our room approximately 30 minutes passed and i couldn't connect to wi-fi so i called reception and what they told me was they didn't start our check-in procedure into system so i should wait to connect wi-fi, what i mean here is we didn't see any guests checking in , hotel was not crowded and of course i thought that after they got our info and let us go to room of course check-in procedure should finish but what i heard was they didn't even start it. Another thing i should add here is , our room wasn't prepared for us as it had no complimentary water, no shampoo/shower gel, no towels. Thanksfully housekeeping lady found it out and brought us everything after half an hour passed from our checkin, i guess again it's receptionists mistake.Night time staff in the reception were much better and positive.Apart from that it is well located,close to embassies and attractions,well equipped rooms with real luxury and high tech.Enjoyed every minute of our stay in the room and the view as well! Already recommended to friends who will visit Ankara.

Excellent location and convenient transportation. The hotel is located in the city center, it is very convenient to go shopping, and the hotel lobby is luxuriously decorated and has a wide view, which impresses the guests. The room is fully equipped and comfortable. The room is spacious and bright, the facilities are complete, the living is super comfortable, and the hygiene in the room is also very clean, the bedding is super comfortable, it makes people feel as warm as home. Attentive service and warm attitude. The hotel's service attitude is warm and thoughtful, attentive, and the waiter smiles and enthusiasm make people feel kind

The hotel is old and starting to show its age, bed fine, internet is dreadful, having to keep logging on, very frustrating, TV keeps freezing can only assume it’s the same internet issues, price for B&B &190 so not cheap, asker about the lounge now I’m here and told its €40 per day, breakfast rate here is €25 per day, with the lounge access you can get breakfast, so asked if I could credit my breakfast and book the lounge to be told no, basically everything is set to extract money from you, good member for some time, also an IHG member with top status, would save you money and book the Crowne plaza for half the price, location is next to very old mall with a lot of cheap items. The escalators to take you down do not work, escalators up or working, think they are trying to save money. I’ve stayed at a number of hotels in Ankara and not the best, but guess it good for the American standard of hotel.

This is the hotel to stay in this area, and actually if you don't mind riding the subway (nearest subway station is couple of minutes away by taxi), this is one of the best places to stay in Ankara. Large rooms, cleaned daily. Very customer friendly and always smiling staff. Delicious and rich open buffet breakfast included in the room price. Lunch and dinner are also provided at the hotel restaurant, if you prefer to eat there. For those who want to shop or window shopping, Podium Shopping Mall is next to it. We did not use its SPA, pool or gym but I have read good reviews about them too. Certainly this will be our choice hotel when we visit Ankara again. Thank you Allegria Business Hotel and to your customer friendly staff.
