The hotel is located at the city center, it is close to the citadel, museums and roman bath. Transportation is easy "dolmus" is very cheap you can hop on and off at any time. Rooms are newly renowated, the best thing is the wifi its free and available at all areas, the terrace has a nice Ankara view. The price for the location and breakfast included stay is cheap. there is also bus stop and metro, There is a huge park Genclik they have light shows everyday @ 20 you can watch by the terrace but i prefer to go there, they have an amusement park also. Finally the building is old but rooms are new and clean within this price range its a good deal.

“Reasonable City hotel”

Ok Yeni means New in Turkish- but Yeni hotel is an old style 3*** turkish traditional hotel. Hotel is located right in the busy old city center of Ulus.

Ok Yeni means New in Turkish- but Yeni hotel is an old style 3*** turkish traditional hotel. Hotel is located right in the busy old city center of Ulus. Ulus has a bad reputation, as you see real life here, the goods and the bads. I found it charming. Best of all- you are within walking distance to most of the sights. Metro 100 mtrs from hotel, supermarket right next to hotel, shops, marketplace and eateries right on the doorstep. Noisy area, remember ear plugs. Rooms are on the dated side- just means that furniture are not the newest and colours from the 70´ties. Rooms are quite big, comfy beds, dated aircon, big bathroom, minbar, and sat.tv with news in many languages. And they all have WIFI!!!! Breakfast could be improved- it consists of traditional turkish breakfast- bread, butter, jam, cheese, olives, honey, cucumber, tomatoes and cold cuts- nothing wrong there- but they use the same knife for meat and veggies- means that your cucumber and cheese tastes of meat. tes is served- and you have to order coffee (did not pay though)- but a simple thing as milk was not provided. I was on a halfboard deal as I had to stay working at hotel a lot- paid EUR10 per day- quite a high price- and the food was not very good, and not homecooked. Most staff at the Yeni are kind and hospittable- some are not. A few speak a little english, but again, a smile and respect will get you far. Old policies as no guests in room still extists here- meant it was hard to work with colleagues stopping by. So, for the price I payed and the location plus the wifi I would certainly stay again. If you are at a stop over to see main sights of Ankara- which is a wonderful city by the way- The Yeni is a good choice. Just dont expect Radisson for EUR20 per night:-)

“Cheap price nice hotel”

Witihin these prices hotel is very very logical. Rooms have own battubs, cable tv, refrigerator, air con, it is in the middle of the city. Close to metro, bus and central bus station. You can surf at the lobby, internet is free and at the lobby they have wireless zone. İt is a nice 3 star hotel.

“Dark, Old-Fashioned Hotel in a Good Location”

I booked this hotel when seeing its website pictures. I thought it's a good price (breakfast included) with good location. But the hotel was actually older and a lot more out-of-date than the pictures shown in its website. The room was dark with old-fashioned furniture. The hotel itself was quiet a… more

I booked this hotel when seeing its website pictures. I thought it's a good price (breakfast included) with good location. But the hotel was actually older and a lot more out-of-date than the pictures shown in its website. The room was dark with old-fashioned furniture. The hotel itself was quiet and also dark. I felt like I was staying in a haunted house. Hotel staff were helpful and polite but hardly speak English. I luckily met a gentleman in the lobby who also worked in the Chamber of Commerce (not sure whether he's the hotel owner). He was helpful and friendly. He told me information about good restaurants and hammam I wanted to go. Hotel responses to previous reviews suggested that the hotel was already renovated. With its convenient location and good price, I think more guests will have a better holiday experience than me.
