About
Hotel Niles Istanbul
Hotel Niles Istanbul sits in the heart of the Old City's Sultanahmet district, a short walk from the Grand Bazaar and just over a kilometre from the Basilica Cistern. The hotel’s 3-star rating reflects its comfortable, no-frills rooms, while its strongest assets are the rooftop terrace and a staff that guests repeatedly praise for helpfulness and warmth.
Rooms come in a range of configurations, from compact singles to a penthouse suite with a balcony. Each includes a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and a mini-bar, with some suites adding a coffee machine and a Turkish bath-inspired bathroom. The hotel also arranges tours, airport shuttles, and car hire, making it a practical base for exploring the city.
Breakfast is served on the roof, where the view stretches over the city and, on clear days, toward the Marmara Sea. It's a popular spot for an evening drink too. The terrace, combined with the central location and a 24-hour reception, makes the hotel a dependable choice for a weekend in Istanbul's historic core.
