Ankara hostels

If you are looking to save money during your trip to Ankara, then you might want to look for Ankara hostels that provide self-catering facilities, so that you can cook for yourself rather than eat out all the time. For example, Deeps Hostel is one such accommodation that provides its guests with a shared kitchen to use during their stay. Within the kitchen, you have access to an oven, stovetop and kettle facilities, so you can cook to your heart’s content. The hostel is also only about a 4min walk from the supermarkets, so it won’t take long to stock up your food cupboards for your stay.

For those that are arriving into Ankara late at night or who are leaving early in the morning, it is a good idea to search for Ankara hostels that provide an around the clock service. For example, MG hostel provides a 24-h reception, which means you can come and go as you please at any time of day. This is also great for solo travellers or those that are new to backpacking, as it provides a level of reassurance you might not get at a hostel that only has a member of staff available during certain times of the day;  it's good to have a staff member on hand throughout the night for security reasons.

Ankara is a large city, so if you want to be close to the action, you should search for Ankara hostels that are close to the city centre and popular attractions. For instance, Guven Hostel is one such accommodation that is situated in a convenient location for sightseeing. From the hostel, you can reach Republic Museum, which provides information on the Turkish Republic, in around 6min by foot. You can also keep yourself entertained in the evening, with the Turkish State Theatre being only a roughly 8min walk from the accommodation.
