I had a satisfying stay at Lion City Hotel Kizilay in Ankara. The hotel is super clean and has a great central location, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. However, I found some areas for improvement, like the need for more amenities in the room, like a kettle. Thankfully, the mattress was comfy, and my room felt fresh and new.
