and how common is english? i only speak english and polish. would it be very difficult to get around?

Dear Yahoo! friends

I will travel to Istanbul (Turkey) next month (august 2007) and I wonder if you can advice a nice and cheap hotel for me (between 20 and 30 US dollars per night). There are several options at Yahoo! Search, but which of them would be good for me? I will travel alone and will stay in Istanbul for 5 days. I would like accommodation near the famous places so I can walk there. A clean single room with bathroom would be perfect. Thanks a lot. Walter.
