The Property — DoubleTree by Hilton Ankara Ankamall
DoubleTree by Hilton Ankara Ankamall is a modern, business-oriented hotel tucked directly above the Ankamall shopping centre. The lobby is wide, bright and quietly efficient, with polished stone floors and the signature warm cookie at check-in. It suits travellers who want reliable Hilton standards, easy access to shops and the metro, and zero fuss. The USP is connectivity: the mall’s restaurants and entertainment are a lift ride away, and the airport is a 20-minute drive.
Chronicles of Ankara
Ankara became Turkey’s capital in 1923, chosen by Atatürk to break from Ottoman Istanbul and symbolise a modern, secular republic. The city’s foundation layers are thick: a Hittite settlement, then Phrygian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman overlays. Its architectural identity is a stark contrast of ancient citadel stonework and wide, grid-like avenues lined with mid-century government buildings. Today Ankara is a political and administrative hub, quieter and more reserved than Istanbul, with a growing cultural scene anchored by the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations and independent art galleries in the historic Hamamönü district.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ankara guide →Best months
May and September offer long, warm days without July’s heat, and fewer tourists than summer peak. June is also good for street festivals and outdoor cafés.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak season, driven by European holiday traffic and domestic tourists escaping coastal crowds. Hotel prices can rise 30-50% above shoulder rates, especially for properties near the mall or the airport. The Ankara International Film Festival in October also spikes demand briefly.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the best shoulder months: daytime temperatures around 15-20°C, lower room rates, and far fewer visitors. You’ll find quiet museums and empty restaurant terraces.
Weather & packing
Ankara’s altitude (938m) gives it a continental climate — hot, dry days can drop to cool evenings, even in July. Pack layers: a light jacket or cardigan for evenings is essential, plus comfortable walking shoes for the city’s hills.
Live City Briefing — Ankara
- Ankara Metro’s red line runs directly to Ankamall station, and a new extension towards the city’s southern suburbs is expected to open by late 2026, reducing pressure on buses.
- The historic Ankara Castle’s restoration of its inner courtyard and several Ottoman-era houses was completed in early 2026, and the area now hosts small artisan workshops and a tea garden.
- A major water main replacement on Atatürk Boulevard may cause lane closures through summer 2026; allow extra time for journeys between the hotel and the city centre.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to DoubleTree by Hilton Ankara Ankamall, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request high-floor rooms (above floor 6) facing south away from Mevlana Bulvarı. These rooms catch less street noise and have a clearer view over the city.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–4 facing north directly onto Mevlana Bulvarı. Also skip rooms near the lift core on any floor — lifts are busy due to the mall connection.
Best views
South-facing upper floors give a wide view over the Yenimahalle district and distant hills. West-facing rooms at the end of the corridor see the city skyline at sunset.
Quietest floors
Floors 8–12 are generally quietest, being well above street level and away from the mall’s service areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Mevlana Bulvarı is a main six-lane road with heavy traffic, including buses and trucks. The hotel shares its building with Ankamall — expect mall-related activity (deliveries, crowds) on the lower floors. The lobby bar can be lively until late.
Insider tips
1. Use the underground parking connected to Ankamall — it’s free for hotel guests and saves street parking hassle. 2. Request a room on a high floor during check-in; the front desk often accommodates if available, and it makes a big difference for noise.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Turkish Lira, TRY
Use ATMs from major banks (e.g. Ziraat, İş) for decent rates; avoid airport and tourist bureaux exchange counters — they charge poor rates and fees.
Visa and Mastercard widely accepted in most shops, restaurants, and supermarkets; Amex and contactless less common in smaller businesses. Always carry some cash for markets and small taxis.
Restaurants: round up the bill or leave 10-15% (especially if service charge isn't added). Taxis: round to nearest 5-10% lira. Hotel staff: 20-50 lira is fine for bellboys/cleaning.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Türk kahvesi (Turkish coffee) at a local pastane or kıraathane — about 30-40 TL.
Döner dürüm or simit at a local büfe — around 60-80 TL.
A main course (e.g. şiş kebap or pide) at a casual lokanta — roughly 120-150 TL.
Near the central bus stop or around Ulus market area: grilled corn, chestnuts, and simit are common. For a quick meal, find a 'dönerci' shop — cheap and filling.
A101 and Şok are the most budget-friendly chains; BİM also good for basics.
Ulus area has cheap market stalls and second-hand shops; for chain stores, visit Maltepe or Dışkapı shopping streets.
AnkaraKart (city transit card) gives a single bus/metro ride for about 9.50 TL; daily cap around 40 TL. From Ankara Esenboğa Airport: take Havabüs to AŞTİ (40 TL) then metro/metro bus to 06560 area — avoid taxis (250+ TL).
Cook from local A101 or Şok rather than eat out every meal. Use AnkaraKart for transfers within 90 minutes at no extra cost. Stick to mahalle bakkals (corner shops) for water and snacks — cheaper than tourist spots.
