HOTEL NILES ISTANBUL

PERFECT TRANQUIL LOCATION NEAR GRAND BAZAAR & BEYZIT TRAM STOP
part 5

The Hotel Niles Istanbul's price is amazingly low.
 
I paid roughly $75 USD per night, fully loaded -- as in room, breakfast and taxes. 
 
Istanbul is a world city.
 
I cannot imagine what a fleabag room I would get in New York or London for 75 sawbucks.
 
It would certainly be unclean, loud and disgusting.
 
The Niles was like staying in a friend's one bedroom apartment. 
 
Yes, it does not have a full-service restaurant, but that is fine. 
 
There are restaurants everywhere in Istanbul...casual, cafeteria-style, mid-range, etc.
 
The Niles rooms have microwaves, so you can re-heat your doner kabap or pide. 
 
Niles' location is perfect.
 
Istanbul is a loud city.
 
It is very hard to find a place in close proximity to what you want to see/do, but allows you to rest like you do at home. 
 
Niles delivers on this, being on a relatively quiet street with very little traffic.
 
I heard some music from a nearby restaurant, but it never, even on weekends, went on past 10:30 or 11 p.m.
