Anka Residence Kızılay
A quiet Kizilay aparthotel with a heated pool
About this hotel
Anka Residence Kizilay places its aparthotel-style units on a quiet street within the Kizilay district itself, an unusual pairing of central-city access with a genuinely peaceful immediate setting rather than a busy avenue. The garden and terrace, complemented by free WiFi throughout, sit alongside a hot tub, heated pool, and balconies facing garden or city views, and each apartment features air-conditioning, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower for guests who want more independence than a standard hotel room offers. A continental, vegetarian, and halal breakfast, plus a washing machine and free toiletries, round out a setup well suited to longer stays in central Ankara for guests who want a working kitchen rather than relying on room service or nearby restaurants every day.
- Heated pool
- Kitchenette apartments
- Garden and terrace
Our take
This suits travelers wanting a central Kizilay base with more independence than a standard hotel room, especially anyone staying several nights and wanting a kitchenette for at least some meals. It works less well for a single overnight stop or business travelers needing conference-style amenities, since the property is built around a longer, more residential kind of stay.
- ✓Use the kitchenette for at least a few meals if staying multiple nights; nearby Kizilay grocery shops make this genuinely practical.
- ✓Book a balcony room facing the garden rather than the street if quiet matters more than a city view during your stay.
- ✓Take advantage of the heated pool in the cooler months, since it stays usable even when Ankara's outdoor terrace season has ended.

Why guests love itHaving a kitchenette made a real difference on this trip, letting us handle breakfast some mornings without needing to head out immediately. The quiet street came as a genuine surprise given how central Kizilay actually is, barely any traffic noise reaching our balcony in the evenings. The heated pool got regular use even on a cooler week, which we hadn't expected to matter as much as it did.
