The crew at Deniz Houses, especially Hakan and Kerem at the front desk, went out of their way to make my stay in Istanbul enjoyable. They were always willing to assist with travel details, and they made a number of phone calls on my behalf which eased the burden of the language barrier.

The room was tidy and had a great view of the sea; the terrace on the top floor was well equipped and the breakfast generous. The location, literally three minutes from the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, etc. is hard to beat.

Highly recommended!
