Dab Hotel Ulus
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Dab Hotel Ulus is worth booking if you want a cheap, well-reviewed room in old Ankara within walking distance of the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. Light sleepers and anyone wanting extra facilities should pay more for one of our other picks.

It suits sightseers on a tight budget who plan to be out most of the day. Guests like the central Ulus setting near shops and restaurants, and the friendly staff who help with directions.
Skip it if quiet nights matter. Guests report thin walls that let in noise from neighbours, hallways and the street. The facility list is short too: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a garden. There is no listed parking, gym or restaurant.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Ulus, at ANAFARTALAR Mah. Plevne sokak No:3/0, Altındağ. The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations is about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. Guests also say the castle is within walking distance.
Anıtkabir is about 2.4 km, roughly 30 minutes on foot, which is a long walk. Kocatepe Mosque is about 3.1 km, around 39 minutes, and is far enough that public transport or a taxi makes sense. These are straight-line estimates, not verified routes. The location score is 7.9, lower than the overall score.
What guests say
The score is 8.4 out of 10 from 2,087 reviews, a large base. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, giving a warm welcome and directions. The central setting near shops and places to eat is the other repeated positive.
Noise is the clear weakness. Thin walls carry sound from next door, the corridor and the street. Bring earplugs, and ask for a room away from the street if one is available.
Price and how it compares with our other Ankara picks
Our reference check for a 2-night stay in November 2026 with 2 adults showed about €60.22 per night. These are reference prices seen for those dates, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was €124.18, which puts Dab Ulus about 52% below it.
Our Best Value pick, Bugday Hotel, scored 8.6 with 4 stars at about €88.03 a night. The Luxury pick, Radisson Blu Hotel Ankara Cankaya, scored 9.2 with 5 stars at about €139.86. For about €28 more a night, Bugday gives you an extra star and a slightly higher score; Dab Ulus wins on price alone.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 14 eligible properties in Ankara. Dab Ulus had the lowest eligible reference price after the upscale choice was reserved. Its 8.4 ranked joint ninth of the 14 on guest feedback, so it is here because it is cheap and still well rated by more than 2,000 guests, not because it tops the scores.
