Where the hotel is
Hotel Ankatr is a hotel below Ankara Castle, between the castle hill and the Hamamönü quarter in the oldest part of the city. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations and the lanes of Hamamönü are a short walk away, and Ankara Castle itself can be reached in a few minutes on foot. Hacı Bayram Mosque, Gençlik Park and Ankara Railway Station are a short drive away. Nearby are Muratzade Konağı, Otel Antik and Hotel Kale.
