Where the hotel is
Otel Defne is a hotel in Polatlı, the district town in the west of Ankara province associated with the ancient site of Gordion. It sits where the local hotels are grouped side by side, which is handy when a larger party needs several rooms in the same area. İkbalhan Otel is right next to it and Hotel MDS a few steps away, while Polatlı Grand Sakarya Hotel and Sale Resort Otel can be reached with a short walk.
If you are arriving as a group, choose a larger vehicle that carries everyone and all the luggage in one go. The vehicle list shows the passenger and luggage capacity of each model, so nobody has to wait for a second car on the long drive from Esenboğa to Polatlı.
