If its tautness slackens slightly later on, it remains an engrossing and deeply creepy read. The Text Publishing Company. Small Publisher of the Year.

Location and staff were great. If you have trouble with stairs, I suggest the rooms close to cafe. Location right behind Agia Sofia , breakfast best menemen ever , staff always smiling and helpful. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Lights in the room. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful weather it was during the day or late at night. No gym, pool and rooms are small and need renovations. Great location in the thick of it all.
The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Location was perfect, some of the rooms got like a hamam as a bathroom. Very friendly and helpfull staff! The room could be cleaned better and also the smell of cigarette is predominent but i felt this was the case in most places we went so maybe its a norm.
The staff is really nice and helpful and the property is very well located at the heart of Istanbul's main sites. It is also very quite and relaxing at all times of the day. The room was quite old, and ours unfortunately next to the elevator. There was a lot of dust in the room and one time we had no toilet paper for use. Despite this, the room had everything wat you expect in a hotel room. The hotel was at a beautiful location, next to the AyaSophia. The reception was always friendly and happy to help. We liked the complimentary water bottle everyday. The staff were amazing!
They opened breakfast early so I could eat before my flight. Very helpful extremely friendly. At the heart of historic Istanbul. Please enter a valid email address. An error has occurred.
