Hotel Golden Way Giyimkent

We ended up/stranded at the Hotel Golden Way Giyimkent as part of a package. Although traces of wear and tear can be found, it was clean and fully functional. The food & beverage “portfolio” is basic – but we found a good escape in the nearby Ramazan Bingöl Et Lokantasi restaurant. Some of our group made use of Istanbul’s impressing good public service accessible by the nearby metro, M7 station. We opted for Uber, that comes for € 15-20 one way. Ok, as friendly as Turkish people are on a private level – they seem to change as soon as they get into the “hospitality industry”. Over all, an acceptable compromise if traveling on a budget.

This hotel is NOT 4 stars. 2 or 3 at most. Very worn out and dated. The reception was friendly. Room was ok, floors were not clean, parts where it was sticky and found pistachios shells laying around. Bathroom has a dodgy smell, everything is old. The bed was good, linen great but the pillows were all of different makes and sizes. The tv in the room did not work, the air conditioning did not work and the telephone did not work; so wasn’t able to call reception because of very loud guests that seemed to be throwing a party as 1am. The staff does not comprehend English at all (but that’s a trait for Turkey). The breakfast…skip it, it is a joke, can’t even begin to describe it. Only stayed here because it was part of a hair transplant package. Tip: if you can, stay somewhere else, the location is awful, there are NO cafes, restaurants or convenience anywhere close.

Me and my wife stayed here as part of a package to get my hair surgery. The hotel is very clean and the staff super friendly and helpful We had breakfast in hotel and it was ok did it’s job but was no toaster The hotel has nice lobby for chilling in but strangely has no bar but as the hotel is used by hair surgery guests I’m assuming this is why

A run-down hotel in an industrial part of Istanbul, with a view on an industrial estate. I only stayed here because I had to as it was the only accommodation provided by the hospital at which I was a patient. The breakfast is decent, but the service is close to what I would expect from the security guards at a medium security prison. Most of the staff is grumpy and the restaurant manager himself, rather than setting an example to his waiting staff, was the most impolite person I've ever been 'served' by at a hotel: aggressive and rude when I questioned the details of a bill for a meal I had just had.

Not recommended . veey bad food and staff terrible . i lost 100 euro in my room . I had left my bag in my room while i went for a boat trip , amd when i come back i didnt saw money at the bag . when i complained at the reception they didnt give me solution . Food terrible . 4 days, the same dinner

My Instabul trip would be better if I wouldn't go at this hotel . Breakfast was the same all days , and used more than 1 time. Not a typical turkish breakfast . I was very disappointed ! Rooms were very little and the hotel location away from attractions. About the service , nobody from staff could speak English . Totally NOT RECOMMENDED!
