Guest Reviews
- elif (2/5): - minibar,klima, sac kururma makinesi calismiyordu oda pai ve havasizdi. banyoda gecmeyen bi koku vardi
- Mesut (2/5): Fiyat-Performans Değerlendirmesi - Otopark hizmeti var diye rezervasyon yaptırdım. Ama giriş yaptığımda otoparkımız kapalı dendi. Motosikletimi otelin girişinde tuttular. Odadaki mobilyalar eski ve kirliydi. Banyo ve tuvalet leş gibiydi. Klimayı çalıştırdığında traktör motorundan çıkan sese benzer bir gürültü yapıyordu. Yatağın kenarındaki ışıklar ve prizler çalışmıyordu. Her şey eski püskü ve kirliydi. Kahvaltı eskiden açık büfeyken şimdi bir tabağa sıkıştırılmış küçük porsiyondu. Çalışanlardan resepsiyona bakan genç arkadaşlar ve restoranda görevli arkadaşlar oldukça kibarlardı. Ama ne iş yaptığını bilmediğim biri kriz yönetmekten uzak, inisiyatif almayı bilmeyen, kolaylaştırıcı olmak yerine iletişimi zora sokan bir kişi vardı. Oda kapısını kilitlemek için kapıyı yukarıya kaldırman gerekiyordu. Genel anlamıyla toparlayacak olursam daha önce de konakladığım ve kısmen memnun kaldığım bu oteldeki son deneyimim oldukça tuhaf ve rahatsız ediciydi.
- Suayip (2/5): - Gürültülü pis
Kesinlikle tavsiye edilmez
- Emrah (6/5): - Temizliğe biraz daha dikkat
- Busra (2/5): - Çok kötüydü. Kirli ve güvensiz bir otel
- Ilhan (2/5): Fingerweg - Schecklich
Unhygienisch
Veraltet
Beschädigt
Sogar TV war kaputt ging erst nach 10-15 min an.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Konum cok iyi temizlik sifir - Cok merkezi bir konumda. Her yere rahatlikla gidilebilir. Resepsiyonda her konuda yardimci olmaua calistilar.Ancak odalar eski, kirik dokuk yerler vardi.havlular pisti. Her yer sigara kokuyordu
- Rana (8/5): - The only dislike is the breakfast that it wasnt an open buffet, ruther a pre-prepared dish consist of 3 type of jam, a slice of white cheese, a slice of yellow cheese, one boiled egg and few fries
- Ceyhun (10/5): - Begining of month, i stayed here.
That’s why i prefered again.
Everything is awesome!
Thank you!
- Elif (10/5): - Cheerful staff. Excellent location. In the middle of crowded you can rest in the cafe there are delicious deserts.
- Ceyhun (10/5): - Perfect location in the city center! You can reach everywhere from Kizilay. As well, rooms are clean and the staff is very kind.
- Gaye (2/5): Berbat - Otelde mini bar bile çalışmıyor duşakabinden her yere su gidiyor banyo göl oluyor odalar aşırı dar ve konforsuz
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Good location, nifty cafe, hotel overall needs a reno. Was clean, spartan.
- Beyza (10/5): - Oda servis hizmeti çok iyi, otelin konumu da ideal
- Gülser (10/5): - Birden fazla gittiğim bir otel daha önceleri biraz temizlik iyi olmasada bu sefer ki konuklamam da çok güzel bir temizlik vardı oda da tavsiye ediyorum
- Verified traveler (10/5): Value for money - The hotel is very near Kizilay in the centre of Ankara, just 5 minutes walk from the airport transfer bus stop. Value for money and the staff were very helpful. I would have liked the option of having more than one cotton blanket on the bed otherwise adequate.
- Esen (10/5): Tekrar konaklamayı düşünüyorum. - Konaklamamdan çok memnun kaldım. Odam harikaydı. Hizmet çok iyiydi. Kahvaltının verildiği restorana bayıldım. Tek sorun tek asansörün çalışıyor olmasıydı. Teşekkürler.
- Rana (8/5): Memnun kaldim - Odada yeteri kadar isiklanma olmamasi,cay ve suyun parayla olmasi ve buzdolabinin calismamasi haricinde her sey guzeldi.Temizlik ve oda genisligiharika,sabah kahvaltisi harika
- Verified traveler (6/5): Unpleasant Short Change Experience - We booked a room for 2-nights, 3 adults, fully paid online as it was a booking condition, 3-weeks prior to our arrival. I habitually screenshots every steps & photos of the room during hotel booking process. This booking with Etap Mola Hotel through “Hotels.com” suppose to come with 1 single bed, 1 double bed & a sitting area with a coffee table as shown in the photos while I made the booking. However, we were given a room with a double bed as the receptionist later claimed that only 2-persons were present when we checked in. We reasoned to her that as we booked and paid for 3 persons, the hotel should assigned room as advertised or committed, they can’t just short change us in room size & space due to one of our family member was unable to be present at the time of checking-in. Told her it was the same everywhere else that I booked before as a frequent single traveller, booking double room for the extra space & comfort only for myself! After the reasoning, the next day, we moved to a 3-bedders room, with no double bed nor a sitting area with coffee table as advertised. Really upset with this hotel that they are not keeping what had been promised in their advertisement via “Hotels.com”.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Otima localização. Kizilay foi o bairro perfeito para estar. Apesar de Ancara ser espalhada e os pontos turisticos estarem um em cada canto da cidade, ha metrô próximo do hotel, shopping, comércio , vida.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Calisanlar guler yuzlu ve kibardi fakat odada hosuma gitmeyen bir iki aksaklik oldu. Yatak basi isiklari yanmadi. Banyoda dus tesisati dokuluyordu. Odada bir su isitici bile yoktu. Kahvalti ciddi manada vasattı. Minibar calismiyordu. Bu sefer uzdunuz, etap mola. 3 yildiz ne bekliyordun diyebilirsiniz ama kendini gelistirme gayreti goremedim ben burada. Kendi halinde bir otel. Calisanlarin nezaketinden kurtariyor.
- Kaan (2/5): () - Baştan salma eski ve bir o kadar da ilgisiz alakasız herkes para icin çalışıyor hizmet veren yok
- Haitham (2/5): one very nice hotel . Now absolute rubbish - Room condition was very bad . Nearly everything was Brocken down .
Car Park Service was good . But apart of this all facility was absolute rubbish
We had to sleep whole night in the cold room as their central air condition and heating was not working properly .
- Ayla (10/5): Teşekkürler. - Hem konforlu hem merkezde kahvaltı bence gayet güzeldi....
- Arif (4/5): - Etap Mola is well-located and the person working reception at night when we checked-in was delightful. It's advertised as having wifi but that's not entirely true. Connectivity is limited to the lobby and cafe area only - certainly not the 9th floor where we were located. Though traveling in winter, we found our room temperature so uncomfortably hot we were compelled to leave a window open through the night. Breakfast is over by 10 am but routinely left on display til 11 or beyond. Arriving at 10:45 one morning, I naturally assumed it was okay to butter some bread but was swiftly told to put the bread back. Turkish people are normally very hospitable, so I was surprised that they actually made me return the bread rather than let it slide and accept why we might've misunderstood. Ankara is full of hotels and I think most people could do better than to stay here.
- Emin (6/5): - Good location. Other than that it was not very good.
The place is run down, with broken showers, clogged drain. etc
- Nurkan (6/5): - Otel işlek bir yol üstünde olduğu için Trafik sesinden uyumadık
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wi-fi is a challenge, otherwise very good, great service
- Ahmet (8/5): - Kızılaya yakın konaklama
- JustaATraveller3743 (6/5): Centric Hotel - We stayed in a double room in this hotel very near to Kızılay Metro Station, sorrounded by bus connections, shops, markets and places for eating. It was clean and spacious. Good buffet breakfast. Staff could be more comprehensive and problem solving. Recommended.
- Ünal (10/5): Temiz ve Rahat - Otelin konumu ve bize verilen oda harikaydı yorumlara bakarak biraz tereddüt ettim lakin gidince öyle olmadığının farkına vardım. Temizlik güzel yatağın konforu ve yastıkları iyiydi temizdi teşekkür ediyorum.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Uygun Fiyat Avantajı - Kısıtlı oda imkanları olsa da mükemmel konumu ve iyi çalışanları ile bende güzel bir izlenim bıraktı. Tam bir fiyat/performans oteli.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff was very nice. The breakfast was really good and the atmosphere was very nice.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Memnun kaldım - Otelin konumu ve çalışanların Güleryüzlu olması güzel gerçekten odalar temiz
- Verified traveler (4/5): tekrar olmaz - hem chek-inde problem yaşadık. hem havluların bir kaçı pisti. klimanın kumandası yoktu.elektrik tesisatı problemliydi.
- Timur (8/5): Удобный отель для шоппинга - В отеле понравилось многое; быстрое заселение, вежливый и отзывчивый персонал (помогли заказать такси), оригинальный дизайн (интересно оформлено кафе, номера с мраморной ванной и карта мира на потолке), отдельно хотел отметить уборку номера которая была ежедневно и очень тщательно. Очень удобное расположение для любителей шоппинга, отель находится в паре минут от большого молла Кизилай в котором можно недорого покушать, также рядом много больших магазинов (flo, Mavi, defacto, lcwikiki) и всяческих кафешек. Единственный минус плохой интернет.
- Verified traveler (8/5): yorum - Hizmet iyi kahvaltı cok ceşitli ve iyi calisanlar yardımci her zaman ancak kaldıgım oda da kalorifer kar yagarken bile zayıf yanıyordu soguktan sabaha dek yatamadım battaniye istedim pike verdiler ama ellerinde bu soguk iklim otelinde battaniye olması gerekirdi. Bunun disinda merkezi bir yerde bu çok onemli ve faydalı. Otelin odasınının soguk oldugunu onlarada soyledim ısıtme yetersiz diye.
- Sevgi (6/5): Kibar personeş ancak imkanlarl kısıtlı bir otel - Otel merkezi bir konumda fakat otoparkı olmadığı için çevredeki ücretli otoparklara park ediyorsunuz. Konaklamanıza bir gün için 25-30 tl ekleyin yani. Bunun dışında personel kibar yardımcı olmaya çalışıyorlar, ancak otelin imkanları kısıtlı. Çarşafa yorgana su döküldü aleze de geldi. Değiştirilmesini istedik, getirdiler ancak çok yorganımız yok dediler tek kişilik yorgan kılıfı o da temiz ama delikti. Yorgan çift kişilik biz geçirdik onu da getirdiler sadece. Alez de başka yokmuş ama o beni zaten ilgilendirmiyor otelin tasalanacağı bir durum yatağın lekelenmesi vs. Kahvaltı da vasattı, yani bir daha konaklamayı düşünmem otoparkla birlikte zaten 200 tl ye geldi 50 tl daha verir çok güzel yine merkezde otellerde kalabilirim ki daha önce kaldım. Bu sefer daha uygun olsun diye düşünmüştüm. Odalar sıcaktı, temizdi, personel kibardı idareten kalınabilir ama benim için ilk ve sondu.
- matthiasr292 (4/5): Etap Mola - The location is good and the breakfast was nice !
The room we got reeked of cigarette smell, which was getting even worse if using the AC. The chair in the corner of the room was badly stained, neighboors had a fight which was actually freaking us out. All in all, the hotel was probably nice, at some point, but really looks worn out.
- Semra (8/5): Merkez otel - KıZılay’ın merkezinde heryere yakın bir otel.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Otel çok pisti yatak sabit değildi sürekli sallanıyordu bir tarafına oturuyorum diğer tarafı kalkıyor koltuklar ve puf o kadar eski ve yıpranmış ki oturamadım yan odadan çok ses geçiyor bütün konuşmamaları duydum internet diye birşey zaten yok kahvaltı çok yetersiz otopark var yazıyordu sitede ama otopark yoktu gece uyuyamadım pencerem tam kapanmıyordu sürekli dışardan soğuk ve ses geliyordu
- Jenan (8/5): - amazing
- Onur (4/5): Etap mola - Otel merkezi olarak cok iyi bir konumda. Ütü istememize ragmen gelmedi. Kahvaltı vasat. Fiyat performans olarak fena sayılmaz
- Nigar (2/5): Berbat - Çok kötü, tek sevdiğim şey otelin iyi konumda olmasıdır, her yere ulaşımı kolay, oda, temizlik, personel, hizmet sıfır
- Nan (4/5): - Hotel is only accessible by walking as it is on pedestrian road, no car access. We had lots of trouble finding parking spot, and had to drag our luggage over 1 block to the hotel (expedia says they had free parking). The night time staff was not helpful, they didn't even bother to help us with carrying the luggage. Rooms were quite noisy with poor sound proofing windows.
on a good side, location is convenient, room was clean.
- sezen (8/5): - In het centrum, fijne plek als je gezellig wilt shoppen zonder veel te reizen.
- mustafa (10/5): Teşekkürelr - öncelikle rezervasyon değişikliğindeki destekleriniz için Hotelz.Com'a teşekkür ederim.
Rezerve edilen odada otel personelinin kaynaklı olmayan bir durum vardı ve direkt olarak farklı bir odaya kaydırma yaptılar.
Çalışanlar gayet güler yüzlü ve yardımcı olmak için gerekli hassasiyeti gösterdiler.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Fiyat konum hizmet açısından çok iyi - Fiyat hizmet açısından gayet iyiydi. Kahvaltıda iyi markaların ürünleri vardı ama zayıftı çeşitlilik. Otelin altında bulunan cafe gayet güzel. Merkezi yerde konumlanmış otel heryere çok yakın. Oda caddeye bakıyordu ses orta derecede geliyordu. Yataklar gıcırdıyor. Havlular gayet temiz. Oda temiz. Mini barda su dışında bir şey bulamadık. Genel olarak iyi diyebiliriz. Tekrar kalmayı düşünürüz.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Misafirperverlik 0 - Otel personeli hiç profesyonel değildi. Kaldığımız oda çok gürültülüydü, sabah erken saatlerde trafik gürültüsüne uyandık. Temizlik ortaydı, pis diyemem. Banyoda kullanılmış, yarım bırakılmış duş jeli şampuan sabun vardı. Onun dışında konumu iyiydi. Merkezi ben her yere yakın.
- Omer Faruk (8/5): Fiyatı ve yerine göre uygun - Odaların kapıları kötü durumda, tv küçük ve yatak oturunca bile gıcırdıyor, onun dışında çalışanlar iyi , konumu tam merkezi, kahvaltısı iyi
- Ali (4/5): Merkezi yerde eski bir otel - Eski bir otel kapılar eski ahşap kapı. klima ve televizyonu çalışmıyordu. Çalışanlar ilgili ama genel olarak gözden geçirilmesi gereken bir otel.
- Nilüfer (8/5): - Resimlerde gözüktüğü kadar geniş değil odalar ama yazan metrekareyle aynı diyebilirim. Temizliği çok iyi. Televizyonu çalışmıyordu. Bir iki gecelik konaklama için uygun.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Memnun kaldım - Merkezi konumda olması çok güzel ve rahat
- Doruk (10/5): - Her şeyden memnun kaldık. Kahvaltı da gayet güzeldi :)
- Hasan (4/5): - Asla tavsiye etmiyorum. Memnuniyet sıfır. Karşılama güler yüz yok. Kahvaltı berbat. Odaların geneli banyo lağam kokusundan durulmuyor.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Otel genel olarak yeri ve temizlik acisindan ideal. Mini barlarda sadece su oluyor. Odalar oldukca genis
- Taskin (6/5): Otel değerlendirme - Otelin konumu merkezi Kızılayda her yere yakın. Banyo ve tuvalet temizliği çok iyi değil. Isınma sistemi iyi. Yatakları konforlu. Televizyon çok küçük. Kahvaltı beklentimin çok çok altında. Çalışanlar ilgisiz.
- rodericks749 (8/5): Convenient and friendly - I found this one for myself, by walking out of the main metro interchange station. It was the right standard at the right place for the right price for me: I am a 2-3 star traveller. I couldn't get the wifi to work in the room, but it worked in the coffee shop. Beer was room service only, not even in the restaurant. That beats no beer (increasingly a problem in Turkey). Navigation from the multiple metro exits can be tricky, but navigation back again is easy. The hotel fronts a pedestrianized street, packed with café/restaurants.
- scutari (8/5): nothing has changed in the past 40 years!.. - due to gvt relations, i am frequently visiting ankara nowadays and as the most centrally located hotel in ankara -from my teenages- is etap mola... upmost close to all the metro connections. the manager taner is brillant and allways ready for help.
- Inspire616263 (6/5): Good location - Have been to this hotel twice and it is not the best but not bad either. Quite good for the price I think in jan 2016 i stayed for 160 TL per night. Rooms are quite small but normal for hotel i suppose. Beds and pillows are very comfy. The aesthetic is quite simple. Room gets dusty very quickly and windows do not open so it gets stuffy. Nice view if your window does not overlook Izmir Cadde. During winter i was in room 703 and it was very comfortable and nice. However after a week i was in room 705 and it was the hottest most uncomfortable room I have ever experienced. It was certainly over 30°. We turned down the heating however somehow the room was still warm and because of this we had to turn on the AC during winter...
Bathroom looks nice but is impractical it is an open shower so wAter always spills out. Also in this room water was leaking from under the sink, corridor light did not work, so hotel management kept suggesting ways to fix it but we just wanted a different room. They showed us a room on the smoking level which stank of smoke so we obviously said no, and they did not give us another room even though the hotel was not full. We moved to the princess hotel after and for the same price it was most definitely better.
The breakfast was good, dining hall had nice aesthetic.
Overall convenient, good, warm rooms in winter, good for something not pricey
- yaraesl (2/5): Bad - This hotel is not clean at all. Stuff are ok but hotel is not good. Our bed was dirty and tv did not work. We stay only for one night here. Sleeping bed is not comfort. There is a smell of oil in the elevator
- joedassinbip (6/5): not worth the price - This hotel is very expensive and the accomodations are definitely not worth the price. It has been newly refurbished, meaning that the old furniture has been painted another colour. The taps are not fixed in the bathrooms. The staff is nice when everyhting goes well, but as soon as there's a problem they are completely incompetent (i.e. the lift didn't work so we couldn't carry our luggage downstairs from the 6th floor. Instead of using the stairs to go fetch the suitcase, the member of staff waited by the lift for it to work! So we had to climb to the 6th floor and go get the suitcase ourselves!)
Breakfast is good.
- abolona3 (10/5): Excelent location - It was my fist time vising Ankara , I get this hotel recommended by friend , the excellent thing about this hotel is that its central location in the heart of markets , the Hotel it self is nice in its room cleanness , bed sheets , bath , sleep quality , though slight small apace rooms but tolerable , reception Guys where very welcoming & Helpful , though they need to know English better for good communication with there Guests , the Breakfast was variable & testy , room service was good , wireless net was average , over all my family enjoyed the stay in this Hotel ( though at that time some Reconstruction was done to Higher level rooms ) , I will recommend this Hotel & indeed will get back when visiting Ankara Again .
- Kodaline (6/5): Small hotel, great dessert - I stayed at Etap Mola during my visit to Ankara at 30 January until 5 February 2013.
Actually I stayed there from 1-5 Feb, before that I was stayed at another hotel.
My review of Etap Mola is quite good, but at that time they still on renovation progress, so its possible to find unfinished things inside the room.
The room is average for 3 stars hotel, not big but enough. I like the way they arrange the bathroom, even I would prefer to make some curtain to closed the bath area.
Equipment inside the room is good and complete, you can find hair dryer inside the bathroom, refrigerators and their wifi connection is fair enough. They used your passport number as password, so it's good for your own security!!!
Unfortunately, not all of the staff could understand English which is bad, since its located in the heart of Ankara and the breakfast is not vary enough for me.
The location of this hotel is near to shopping center and food center.
The best thing for me is the Ozsut cafe at the 1st and 2nd floor. It has a lot of cake, dessert and drinks which can make you feel melted. They produce a really good taste of dessert and drinks. I love it!!
Well, there's always a price for everything and the price of this hotel is average around 100-125TL.
I hope it can be useful for you.
Happy traveling!!
- GlobalRoad (8/5): Great Value in a Great Location - My husband and I found Etap Mola after finding out the apartment we were supposed to rent was no longer available (Be careful if you rent an apartment in Ankara as there aren't any good online services established here yet.)
Etap was a great place to stay. The rooms are somewhat dated but huge with BIG bathrooms, excellent WiFi, lots of hot water, and a great location. The neighborhood was quiet at night and vibrant during the day. The national government is located nearby, there's a metro station a few minutes walk up the street, and there are lots of upscale shops, banks and restaurants nearby. The bed was comfy. Etap Mola was a great value! We highly recommend it.
- heritagekitty (4/5): Could use improvements - The Hotel Mola is looking a bit rough around the edges, the walls in our room were marked, dirty and the bathroom had poorly executed and crumbling repairs. My mother was travelling with us and was worried about climbing into the Everest like bathtub with the shower, and could not turn the handle to open the door to her room it was so heavy and hard to turn. Their minibar couldn't be opened as the door to the cabinet was hung on the opposite side to the fridge and was crammed into such a small space that they blocked each other. Our TV was missing all of its buttons so could not be turned on.
We arrived late so had dinner in the hotel restaurant. The food was very good and reasonably priced, but the table clothes were dirty, and covered with cigarette burns.
On the plus side it's centerally located and the staff are friendly and helpful. With just a little attention to the details this could be a very nice place to stay.
- Seyahat_11 (4/5): Helpful, friendly-staffed hotel.. - Called ahead to this hotel to enquire about availability minutes before my arrival and on arrival was allowed to check in even at that early hour. Very kind of staff to allow me to do so. Staff were welcoming and multi-lingual; they spoke Turkish with me as I had a basic level of the language. They offered me 2 choice of rooms neither of which were up to much I`m afraid. The furniture is worn, the fittings lopsided. Bathroom low water flow, towels old and worn, shower not good at all, several hairs on side of bath :( Traffic noise from the front of the hotel facing the street was loud even at night. When the air-con didn`t work in my given room, staff quickly offered an alternative - a room facing the back which was thankfully quieter. Breakfast was good with wide selection of cheeses, cold meats, jams, pastries etc. Dining room ornate. Lifts worked well. Lobby floor could`ve been cleaner. Housekeeping staff very kind and helpful. Internet was on\off but staff helped personally to fix this. Very central, conveniently-located hotel. Paid 100 lira per night double room. Overall my stay at this hotel was made pleasant by the staff as they were warm and welcoming. Their smiles and assistance made my stay at what is, a rather shabby hotel, all the better :))
- Aydincan (6/5): Decent hotel in central location - Ups: central location, friendly staff, quiet rooms for a good sleep.
Downs: slow internet connection even its free, a bit old building, cheap instant coffee in the breakfast.
Overall: Stayable regarding your purpose. I mean it's a value hotel.
- nl-aslan (8/5): great service, confortable and central - We stayed in Hotel Mola during a short visit to Ankara, found this hotel on the internet and we had no prior knowledge of this place, and we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is very centrally located on a modern but lively shopping street close to metro stations, taxi-ranks and restaurants. The management was extremely efficient and helpful, they even booked our next hotel for us when we encountered language problems and provided us with loads of tourist advice on Ankara. The rooms where clean, modern, have spacious bathrooms with bathtub. Another plus was the patisserie belonging to the hotel, great coffees and an overwhelming choice of cakes. The breakfast is buffet-style in a very ornate room with a great selection of cheese, meats and even....french-fries! On next visits we will certainly choose this hotel again.
- enigma2007 (6/5): Mola Hotel: Good location and Service, Needs Improvement - On December 8, 2009 we arrived at this hotel early in the morning (at 7.50 AM) . In spite of the early hour, they let us check into our rooms so that we could relax. This was very nice of management. This hotel is at a very central location in Kızılay area of Ankara and it faces both Ataturk Boulevard and Izmir Avenue but there is no access to the hotel from the Ataturk Boulevard, only from Izmir Avenue. Furthermore Izmir Avenue is closed to vehicular traffic between 8 AM and midnight, and is mainly a pedestrian only shopping street. Therefore if you arrive or leave by a taxi to and from the hotel at those hours, you can not exit the taxi in front of the hotel, but on Ataturk Boulevard, at a location 5 minutes walk from the hotel. This is most serious shortcoming of this hotel. The elevators need improvement and more frequent servicing (we almost tripped over exiting an elevator), the lobby is practically non existent and is very dark, not befitting a hotel of this type. The real lobby, very unfortunately, has been turned into a chain pastry shop by the owners. The decor and ambiance at the reception desk area and in front of the elevators, with its dark brown panneling and mirrors, is very tacky and tasteless.
Having said that, the hotel has some plusses. We, the American friends of mine and myself, occupied two rooms next to each other overlooking Ataturk Boulevard. We were very happy with the rooms and the bedding, and the rooms are adequate size, with nice bathrooms (bathtub style). The service is very good and fast, and when my remote did not work, they immediately replaced the batteries. There is pretty fast internet access in each of the rooms. The breakfast area is wide and comfortable and the breakfast has a lot of choices that will cater to different tastes. The reception people and the manager of the hotel was very helpful and friendly and I do believe that their good service is able to overcome the shortcomings of this hotel. We paid , for one night, 80 TL (37 Euros) for a single room and 130 TL (59 Euros) for a double room. The hotel also has a luggage room where they can keep your luggage while you discover the beautiful sights and sounds of Ankara.
All in all I strongly recommend a visit to Ankara and I recommend Mola Hotel for your stay in Ankara for its good location, good service and nice rooms, in spite of its shortcomings.
- kocher (8/5): great place - I had stay there only one night for business. I had find this hotel so quickly. Its place so good. Rooms are nice .The building is old.
