4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Ankara

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Ankara is during August, October, and November, when hotel prices are generally lower. For a comprehensive experience of the city's landmarks, cultural attractions, and historical sites, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can explore a range of affordable attractions, including monuments, museums, theatres, and cafes, as well as natural parks and forests that reflect the area's rich heritage. This timeframe offers great value for money, allowing you to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and history of Ankara without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for accommodation in Ankara, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on various hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications for updates on flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you seize opportunities for savings. The Smart Shopping tool available through the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you find the best options, whether you're looking for luxury or cheap hotels. You'll be promptly notified if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to plan your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year.
