The Hotel Niles is a beautiful boutique hotel located in the heart of the Old City of Istanbul. The staff was friendly and I loved the welcome tea & Turkish delight. The room was clean and I appreciate that there were several water filling stations. It has a gym and pleasant rooftop terrace dining.
Very comfortable for a two night stay. Hotel staff was excellent. Breakfasts were amazing. Air conditioning worked great (very hot during our stay at the beginning of August). I would definitely recommend for a reasonably priced hotel right in old town for shorter stays (1-5 or so).
Clean, nice, little space but very well organized. Perfect area for shopping and site seeing. The streets are very narrow with lots of traffic during day time, but quiet at night. You should take in consideration that this is old historic part of Istanbul with all hustle and bustle. We enjoyed it!
Not as described on Expedia.
This is definitely not a 4 star VIP special class hotel. 4 star means upscale comfort with load of special services and amenities like concierge, fine dining, high class fitness center, room service, pool, none was present. By US standards a 2 star. Everything is outdated. Mattress was not comfortable and too low, almost 12 cm to the floor. Shower was too cramped to stand in. Uphill bystreet hard to walk up. Would not go back or recommend.
The staff provided exceptional service. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with good options and the rooftop terrace a great way to start the day. The rooms were on the smaller side, but very clean. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Overall, I had a good experience, with a friendly check-in by Ege and an apple tea to greet me and excellent breakfast on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Marmara. It was clear they put a lot of pride in attention to detail and to the family-run nature of the business. It was easy to walk to the central tourist areas, and I felt safe in the neighborhood at night. I had one small issue with the bathroom sink, but given the age of the property, these things happen. Much of the interiors felt freshly designed and in keeping with the theme of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to other travelers and would stay here again.
What a wonderful gem in the middle of the old part of Istanbul and walking distance from everything. Staff were so friendly and helpful and a lovely rooftop.
Excellent place to stay, very close to Beyazit tram station and very central to all places. The staff at check in was very helpful, friendly and very clear in his instructions. He also had good advise to see things around and made some very helpful recommendations.
The cooling in one of our rooms was not great due to the air conditioning being on the corner instead of being opposite to the bed.
The breakfast has options for vegetarians, but felt that there should be no extra charge for omlettes during breakfast.
It would be good to have some spare table fans for people who feel very hot.
The hamam recommended by the hotel was really awesome.
Very clean tidy and excellent housekeeping.
Very friendly staff, grand bazaar was 2 minutes away, 15 minutes walk to sultanahmet where you can hop on the red double deck buses and go to Asian side and back to Taksim Square. Excellent location.
Old style but in good condition in an excellent direction

The area around the hotel was extremely dirty. There were cigarette butts and trash left everywhere. It’s almost impossible getting a taxi or an uber from this area because of the narrow one way roads. And some of them are blocked off. I stayed in the Sultanahmet area half the time and this was a VERY nice and clean area which was close to all the major tourist sites. Hotel Niles is only close to the Grand Bazaar. That’s it. If you want to visit Hagia Sophia, Topkapi, and the Blue mosque— these are all closer to Sultanahmet. And transportation is easily accessible. The blow dryer at the hotel is cheap and terrible. It’s an eco friendly one with 1 low intense setting that you have to press the entire time you dry your hair. I had to hold this down for 1 hour since I have long and thick middle eastern hair. It was the worst blow dryer Ive ever used. I wish I brought my own. The hotel room was incredibly tiny including the shower. I’m a super thin woman, but not sure how a man or a bigger person would be able to shower in comfort.
Excellent location. Within walking distance of historic sites and the metra. We came in very late at night and were greeted with a snack, tea and a small gift as we checked in. The room was big and they had a nice breakfast. Would definitely stay again
