this will be a very simple review.
Its supposed to be a 5star hotel but in reality in would just pass as a 2 star. It look awful and very very poor condition. If i would see this in Bagdad i wouldnt be suprised but this in Ankara is a very sad place. I was only there for a day use room so i have no idea about the food but would have never ever tried breakfast there.
When in Akara go to the Swissotel.

I believe it is now named Grand hotel Anadolu of Ankara when I stayed in this hotel on a two week long trek through Turkey with COSMOS Tours. It is a huge hotel in huge grounds including a water fun park. However, it has the worst services and condition we ever seen for all the hotels in Turkey. Basically, this is a big white elephant built on farm lands far away from any town but is supposed to be near the airport. It looks like a 5 star holiday hotel from far, just don't go near it!

The hotel is big and even has indoor swimming pools but all the guests who went to the pool were disappointed as it was stuffy and looked dirty. The lounge area is huge with run down furniture and facities so don't expect anything there. When I complaint to the staff that wireless internet does not work, they gave me a plain look as though it was never meant to work anyway. The room we had was huge but poorly furnished and
looks dirty as well as smelling musty. One of our group had a shock when the vanity basin dropped onto his feet when he was shaving! This hotel is a safety hazard so avoid it unless you have no choice. Tour guide told us it is used by senior officials, may be in original conditions but it is really run down now!

This hotel is very tired at the edges. I can't agree with the reviewer who said only go to this hotel if you are on a tour, don't stay there then either; we were on a tour and it was the worst hotel we stayed in in Western Turkey, yet it had the highest star rating. It had no plusses; too far out of Ankara to be able to do any private sightseeing yet an unpleasant hotel.

Although on first appearance the room looked good, it was a decent size and had a balcony, on closer inspection it was very disappointing. The management needs to take a look at what their cleaners are doing; the balcony was filthy, the windows looked like no-one had ever cleaned them, surfaces were sticky or dusty and the bathroom was also dirty.
The toilet seat and lid fell off on first use (presumably just balanced there), the hairdryer was set up for a giant so had to be held high above the head to make it work and then burnt so hot it couldn't be held, the air conditioner would blow out only warm air, but on opening the windows we had to close them again because of an overwhelming smell of what can only be described as urine, maybe from a nearby farm, the corridors smelt of deisel fumes.

There was a good selection of food for dinner, but at breakfast empty containers such as yoghurt and cornflakes weren't refilled after a previous tour group had emptied them, so our group went without, also what little of things like yoghurt and cheese was there tasted very watery.

2 requests for more pillows went ignored, this was the same for others in the group. Also although the lifts look ok they aren't to be trusted, numerous people got stuck in them and although each time they started up again it was only after stressful waiting.
Quite a number of our group were given room changes because of various problems, e.g. balcony doors not closing, but were still dissatisfied.

If you are in business, never, never, never stay here. It is approximately USD 60 from the city center (one way). No shuttle, no public transportation at all. Absolutely nowhere to go outside the hotel, which is completely (And I mean it, completely) surrounded by wheat and corn fields. The only alternative for dinner is a poor, very poor open buffet with very limited choices. If you ask for "A la carte", the waiter says "Oh, yes, we will be pleased to take your order but it will take too much time as we are serving 800 people who have joined a conference here"...

This hotel carries five stars and just guess what might be the reason why Turkish authorities have rated like this. Unbelievable. The worst place that I have ever stayed in my life. The ONLY reason why you might stay here is the following: Having flown to Ankara late at night and a planned pick-up to another town (Say, Cappadocia, for example) very early in the next morning ONLY IF YOU HAVE JOINED A TOUR!...
