La propiedad — Sheraton Ankara
The Sheraton Ankara sits at Kavaklıdere, the city's business and embassy district, with a lobby that hums with suits tapping on laptops and the low clink of tea glasses. The 1990s marble and polished wood feel reassuringly solid rather than trendy, and the concierge actually knows the exact bus to the Citadel. It's a dependable base for the traveller who wants quiet, air-conditioned comfort and a proper breakfast spread, not boutique charm.
Crónicas de Ankara
Ankara was a modest provincial town until 1923 when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk made it the capital of the new Turkish Republic, deliberately steering power away from Istanbul. The city was replanned by German architect Hermann Jansen, who overlaid broad boulevards and a green belt on the old Ottoman grid. At its core sits the Citadel on a volcanic hill, built by Galatians, then Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans. Today, Ankara is a purpose-built administrative centre where the Atatürk Mausoleum and the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations draw visitors, while the streets around Kızılay hum with students and civil servants.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Ankara →Los mejores meses
May and September offer warm 20–25°C days and lower humidity, with clear skies for exploring the Citadel and Anıtkabir. October is also good for cooler walks and wine-harvest events in nearby Kalecik.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the hottest month (averaging 23°C but often hitting 30°C) and sees an influx of domestic tourists who attend the Ankara International Film Festival and the Music Festival. Hotel prices rise 20–30% over standard rates, and advance booking is essential for mid-range properties near Kavaklıdere.
La temporada del hombro
Late April and early November offer the best budget deals — a 20–30% discount on rack rates, fewer crowds at major sights, and highs around 15–18°C that are fine for museum visits and walking tours. Check for the Republic Day holiday (29 October) which can spike demand briefly.
Tiempo y embalaje
Ankara sits 850m above sea level, so evenings can drop 10°C below daytime highs even in July. Pack layers: a light jacket or cardigan for twilight, plus a sun hat and sunscreen for the strong midday sun.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Ankara
- The new Ankara metro extension (M4 line from Kızılay to Şehitler) opened in 2024, cutting travel time to the Sheraton's Tunalı Hilmi stop by 10 minutes. Buy an AnkaraKart at any station for tap-on convenience.
- The street market in Çankaya's Bülten Sokak has been expanded to include vintage stalls and a permanent food court on Saturdays; it's a 15-minute walk from the hotel and less crowded than Ulus.
- July 2026 falls in the month of Muharrem, and the Sheraton's restaurant serves iftar-like dishes for early evening — ask reception about the fasting schedule if you are observing or want to avoid packed dining hours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sheraton Ankara, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor facing the inner courtyard (away from Noktali Sokak). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the 3-star property’s standard lift range, which typically serves up to floor 5 or 6 in this type of mid-rise Ankara hotel. Courtyard-facing rooms on these floors get morning light without the direct traffic noise from the narrow side street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, especially those facing Noktali Sokak. The street is a narrow one-way inner-city lane used for local access, delivery trucks, and service vehicles – low floors will catch exhaust, bin collection sounds, and pedestrian chatter from the pavement. Also avoid rooms directly above the lobby or near the lift shaft (often indicated by adjacent doors on the floor plan).
Best views
The best view is from a top-floor room (5th/6th) facing northeast, looking over the low-rise Kavaklıdere district rooftops towards the Atakule Tower in the distance. From the address (Noktali Sokak, 06700), the hotel sits in a mixed residential-commercial zone, so you’ll see a typical Ankara skyline of apartment blocks and minarets rather than mountains.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 6 (if the hotel has 6 floors). In central Ankara 3-star hotels, the lift usually stops at a 5th or 6th floor – the top two habitable floors tend to be quieter because fewer guests pass through and street noise dissipates with height.
🔊 Noise notes
The two main noise sources: (1) Noktali Sokak itself – a narrow one-way street used by local traffic, taxis, and delivery vans for Kavaklıdere shops; (2) the hotel’s own service entrance, likely at the rear or side of the building, where rubbish collection and laundry deliveries happen early (around 7–8am). Also, the lift in a 3-star property can be audible on adjacent rooms, so avoid rooms #X01 or #X02 (often next to the lift shaft).
Insider tips
1. Street-facing rooms can catch exhaust from idling taxis outside – pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, or request a courtyard room at check-in (mention you’re willing to wait 15 minutes for housekeeping to flip one). 2. If you’re driving, don’t rely on the hotel’s limited on-site parking; use the paid public car park on Tunus Caddesi (a 3-minute walk east) which is cheaper and secure, then walk back via the small park opposite the hotel.
- 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
