We enjoyed staying at the Deniz House B hotel. It's further than 5 minutes to the Hagia Sophia and the walk was uphill, but it was a pleasant walk through the neighborhood. The advantage was a downhill walk when we were tired after walking all day.

The hotel staff were helpful with tips for restaurants. The room was clean and the a/c kept us cool on hot nights. The wifi worked well.

We enjoyed eating breakfast on the roof terrace. Not very exciting food and nothing particularly Turkish about it, but a convenient way to fill up in the morning.
