We visited in February, low season, and were Sandra's only guests at the time. We were treated royally, with a choice of which room we would like and insightful information provided to our every question. Sandra has obviously worked extremely hard (and continues to) to provide a good quality establishment; clean, reasonably-priced and a really friendly atmosphere (especially from Takos, resident guard-dog but a big softie at heart). Golden Bed was definitely amongst the best pensions we stayed at in Turkey. Sandra's relaxed, easy-going nature made the place so comfortable it prompted us to stay for longer than planned even though at the time, Kusadasi didn't have much going on.

Too many times my guests complain about the taxi drivers not knowing where my hotel is...only the other day, I had arranged to meet some new guests, a family of five travelling for six months and that had just arrived off the Samos ferry into Kusdasi port. I met them at the Tourist İnformation office as planned. Due to the heat, I suggested that I get them a taxi and take them back to my hotel rather than walk them the 10 mins up through the town. What was interesting , there are two main taxi ranksh at the port and neither of them claimed to know where my hotel was.....as the owner of the hotel, you can imagine how I felt....but what was more concerning to me was the amount of business I was loosing because of these taxi drvers. Not to mention the inconvenience and stress this courses my guests arriving in a new country with hotel reservations already arranged . I encourage all my guests to take a taxi and the hotel will gladly deduct the fare on arrival .
PLEASE NOTE: You have the right to be taken to my hotel....DEMAND İT.....if you encounter this problem, please notify me or the police immediately....
Kindest regards,
Sandra Galloway (Proprietor)
