Niles Hotel Istanbul - Special Class

This is a small and cozy hotel located in the Old Town surrounded by several local restaurants. From the hotel it is a leisurely 15 minutes walk to some of the main attractions such as the Hagia Sofia, the Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque. One can also use the tram to reach these locations.
The rooms are comfortable and clean. The breakfast area is located on the roof top with a view of the Sea of Marmara and a delicious breakfast is served.
The hotel personnel is very polite and helpful to the customer’s needs. Highly recommended.

The Niles Hotel is a hidden gem in Istanbul. The hotel staff is very attentive and cordial. The room rates are very reasonable for the quality that you get. The rooms, as well as all areas of the hotel, are kept very neat and clean. The hotel is strategically located close to the main touristic sites. The tram station is located two blocks from the hotel, where one can access a good number of the main touristic sites of Istanbul. Additionally, there are many currency exchange locations near the hotel, as well as restaurants and stores. The Grand Bazaar is just a four minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast is served in the upper floor of the hotel, including in the terraced area which has nice views. Breakfasts are included in all room rates and are wonderful. The decor of the lobby area is quite lovely, with multiple objects from old Istanbul. I have stayed several times at this hotel while in Istanbul, and I recommended highly.

This was our second stay Hotel Niles and it was as good/if not better than our first experience. The Location is perfect for exploring Istanbul with a short walk to The Grand Bazaar, and a comfortable walk to the Haga Sofia. For those that don't want to walk, there is a tram station literally 'up the road'.
The Hotel is close enough to everything without being in the busy hustle of the tourist areas.
The Hotel is family run and it shows in the attention to detail and service that is provided. Nothing was too much trouble to make our stay enjoyable, with daily suggestions and recommendations.
The rooms are comfortable, clean and serviced daily.
There is a lovely rooftop breakfast room/cafe with great views over the rooftops and towards the sea where we were greeted daily by management and friendly staff. We also had an amazing walking tour through 'less touristy' areas with the manager, Ozan Duyar, with great information and insights along the way (and a special coffee stop which we would never have found!)
We will be back and would not stay anywhere else in Istanbul!

Lovely place: very helpful and friendly staff, sumptuous breakfasts to start the day, beautiful decor and atmosphere, great terrace overlooking the sea, walking distance to many of Istanbul's famous sights, nice music in lobby and breakfast room.

Charming central hotel with excellent customer service. The breakfast in terrace was great! Thank you for the hospitality.

Location is very close to the grand Bazaar and other attractions. The atmosphere is great . The rooms are nice and value is reasonable, hotel and rooms are clean , street noise is norma, services is also great and amenities are always available.

Lovely hotel with cozy lobby area and a charming rooftop breakfast area with a view of the water. The staff was very welcoming and also helpful with airport transportation and connecting us with our hotel in another town. The room was quiet, comfortable, and clean.
Breakfast was delicious and had enough variety so we did not tire of them during our 5 nights there. Location was perfect and safe. Another thing I really appreciated was the choice of music played in the breakfast room. Old jazz standards by incredible musicians-not too loud but enough to add to the charming atmosphere.

Fabulous find in the Old City less than 15 minutes walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
The hotel is old fashioned but the rooms and public areas are spotless. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, especially the manager Ozan who speaks excellent English. The breakfast is plentiful with lots of choice, with some amazing homemade cakes.
This is such a lovely find and I highly recommend it. Great views from the rooftop bar.
If you are a light sleeper you may need earplugs when the call to prayer goes out in the morning, but I soon got back to sleep. I’d definitely return.

Great hotel with lovely friendly staff, very relaxed and old school. Super traditional breakfast with a view of the Bosporus when it wasn’t foggy. Everything you could want from a small hotel and only a short walk to all of the major sights.

We have just returned from a week in Istanbul, staying at the Niles Hotel. It really was a delightful experience. The hotel is very central, only one tram stop from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and in the middle of the old city.

The rooms, and hotel, are very comfortable, with a wonderfully old-world feel. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and the breakfast delightful

The location was great. The room was nice and roomy. Noise level is low if you keep your windows closed. Service was nice. I would stay there again.

What a hotel. Location is perfect for any tourist. 3 minutes walk to the tram stop, 3 minutes to the grand bazaar and 10 minutes for the palace and blue mosque.
The hotel has all the original charm with a relaxed atmosphere. The roof top terrace gives you spectacular views over the sea. Considering it is in a busy area with shops, it is very peaceful.
Great value for money. Everything is so clean, fresh towels daily and not a bit of dust anywhere. The 24 hour bar on the roof top is great and someone always in to help you.. Breakfast is basic but I did have a freshly cooked omelette which was lovely.
STaff, what can I say. Management, front desk, cleaners and bar staff are all so lovely, friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back.

We were greeted, despite our 2:30 am arrival, with a small snack and friendly hello! The decor is great and we really enjoyed the lobby and first floor common area. All the staff treated us so well including providing great recommendations. Part way through our stay, we got a room upgrade as well. The daily breakfast was a nice mix of local foods and familiar staples. We loved eating the simit and pekmez/tahini mix. The location is great with a minute walk to the T1 tram line. The view every morning of the sea on the 5th floor terrace was worth the trip alone.

Would highly recommend the Hotel Niles for those travelling to Istanbul. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere, with beautiful/historical finishings while still having modern amenities. It is located in walking distance to all the main tourist sites in Istanbul. The room was clean, quiet and high-value for the price. The breakfast was lovely and the food/drinks were amazing. The upstairs/rooftop terrace was surreal to sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the rooftop views. Would definitely stay there again!

The Hotel Niles in Istanbul was an excellent choice for our first trip to Turkey for my birthday. I went with my husband and we received a warm welcome from the receptionist, Ege who introduced us to the warm Turkish Apple tea, very refreshing. The entire staff and crew were awesome from the Manager, Ozan, to our lady who served us breakfast every morning. Everyone was a delight like the Turkish delights they served.
The hotel is centrally located right in hearts of some of the main attractions Istanbul has to offer. We will definitely visit Istanbul and the Hotel will be our place to stay. Thank you guys for everything.

A real cozy and local experience. The staff are absolutely fantastic and speak multiple languages. Every staff member interaction I had was great. The heated floors in the room were very nice for the winter time.

Very charming family run hotel. Beautiful interiors. Plenty of hot water and diligent room service. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff on reception. Perfect location.

Loved the location: very close (walkable) to the major sightseeing places. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Excellent service: The room was regularly cleaned, with nice white bed sheets, and most important the room was warm (particularly in the winter time). Hotel management (Mr. Ozan, in particular) was knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help... I would love to return, Elena USA

Wonderful staff, great location, excellent breakfast. Fun to watch multiple firework displays from rooftop terrace on New Years Eve. Highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful family owned and run hotel. Great rooms and customer service. Absolutely beautiful and relaxing rooftop terrace. Loved the breakfast. Calm, quiet atmosphere,and great for couples. Close to everything. Staff went above and beyond. 10/10.
