Hotel Goldengate

I LOVED THE CITY

ALL WAS GOOD EXCEPT THAT AS A BERBER FROM MOROCCO I WISH POLITICALLY THE REGIME LED BY ERDOGANE STOPS THE BRUTAL INVASION ON THE INNOCENT AND PEACEFUL KURDS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE TURKEY.

Good (and quiet) location halfway between the historical center and the Esenler Otogarı, in the shadow of the old Byzantian city walls. Close to the metro and just over an hour ride to the new airport, if your timing is right and the roads are not too clogged. The staff was very nice, the room clean and cozy, wifi fast and stable. I didn't have time for breakfast before my departure, but it looked good.

The internal walls do not insulate against sound at all: I could hear every word said in the adjacent suite and several times had to rap against the wall as the guy tried to turn on the TV at night. Also, as a minor quibble, while much effort has evidently been invested in making the suite look as magnificent as possible with the materials available, decoration work in the bathroom didn't appear very professional.
