Thy Cip Salonu

Compared to the other THY Cip lounges, it has a small seating area, but offers a good variety of snacks and drinks. Good veriety of cold drinks, coffee and tea, no alcohol offered.

Small CIP lounge in Ankara AirPort, but it still gives you time to relax before the flight. The hospitality service is great! The food and beverages are very few choices! The Business class lounge can manage maximum 25 guest. And if you’re lucky you will even see cats inside the CIP Lounge of Ankara I’m Turkey!)

Compared to other Turkish Air Elite or Star Alliance Gold Lounges in the country, this one is definitely a "B" Grade Lounge. The food and drink offerings and quality are significantly lower than those I have experienced in Antalya, Istanbul and Izmir. Not sure why the capital city has a lower quality experience and I hope Turkish Airlines fixes this.

Poor choice of food. Worth paying for the comfort tho.

Nice place to spend you time waiting for a flight if you’re Gold member or traveling in business class. Don’t expect much - it’s a “domestic” version of Istanbul CIP (fruits, salad bar, soup of a day, beverages etc) No alcohol at all. Be aware - the entrance is separate not through the terminal. Have a safe flight ✈️

It was disappointing to discover that wifi is available only to persons using Turkish telephone numbers. Foreign travellers are denied access. This is not the Turkish hospitality we are used to.

It was really very poor this time. It could be about the time. I arrive 1am and nothing was there. Empty dishes. Hopefully next time they'll improve it.

The worst lounge I have ever experienced in my traveling life. Firstly the call center misguided us and told us despite our Business Class tickets and my Singapore PPS status (which converts to Star Alliance Gold Status), we do not qualify to enter the lounge without a fee of over 50 euros - FYI we called thrice to verify this. On that note we arrived at the Ankara airport for regular check-in since we were informed we did not qualify for the CIP lounge only to be told at the counter that we should head to the CIP lounge. Now this is where it gets painful and made me really mad. I’m pregnant and now had to navigate the uneven pavement to the CIP lounge from the domestic airport with two large sized suitcases. Lifting, exerting when we could have driven up easily to the entrance of the lounge and have the proper help us. And because we didn’t drive up, the porters at the lounge were slacking and did not bother to assist us with our baggage. At check-in, exhausted from the exertion and cold we tried to clarify with our counter lady on why there is such mismanagement and she not only gave us bad attitude, failed to communicate clearly and blatantly lied to us to say that the CIP lounge has NO PHONE where the call center can connect to verify these details. Next we placed our baggage for weigh in and we paid a surcharge for extra baggage. That was fine and expected as we were heading on our international flight and were packing for that allowance. However, you’d be intrigued to know that each of our baggage somehow had an additional 2-5kg added to them which we only realized when we did our weigh in at the Singapore Airlines counter at the Istanbul airport. Fellow travelers, beware of the LIES and CHEATS of this particular stewardess at this CIP lounge. Absolutely distasteful staff, appalling service standards and disappointing experience overall. Not worth flying business with Turkish airlines at all for this sub standard lounge experience.
