The city's rich history is palpable in its architecture, with the iconic Kocatepe Mosque standing tall among the 20th-century buildings. Ankara's contemporary identity is a blend of Ottoman and modern influences, with a thriving arts scene and a vibrant food culture.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Erik Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

We recommend requesting rooms on higher floors (6th floor and above) of the Erik Hotel in Ankara. This is because the hotel is located in the city center, and higher floors tend to be quieter due to the reduced street noise. Additionally, rooms on the north side (facing away from the city center) are less likely to be disturbed by noise from the street. Request a room with a city view to enjoy a glimpse of the city's skyline.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd floor) may experience more street noise, especially from the busy roads surrounding the hotel. Avoid rooms near the lift (elevator) as the constant hum of the lift and the sound of people entering and exiting can be distracting.

Insider tips

Request a room with a fridge, as this is not a standard amenity but can be arranged upon request. Also, be prepared for a simple check-in process, and consider arriving early to explore the city before your room is ready.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
