Very often I book a hotel for arrival and then look around once I've settled in.
Many of the online booking services feature rates that are nearly double what a hotel will cost you if you just walk in the door.
We traveled to Slovenia and paid $ 120 a night for a hotel, that was actually only $ 70 a night. Another one, I remember was a hotel in Singapore that was listed at $ 180 a night online and we paid only $ 85 per night because we just walked in.

I second that view.
I wouldn’t necessarily be the greatest fan of Istanbul  for various reasons, but one thing it does well is high quality hotels at bargain rates.

For example, I just picked a random date in September and searched on Booking.com for hotels that are at least four stars or more, and had a “superb” or “exceptional” rating on booking.com. I  found 58 properties available for less than €150 a night (and 28 for less than €100).

The big American chains didn’t feature amongst them, as they seem to charge more of a standard fee per night, no matter what city you are in Europe.

I have no doubt that the current currency problems facing the Turkish lira are a part of the reason you get such bargains at the moment, although as I said, Istanbul is always a very good deal for luxury hotels.

I think sometimes high-end customers from the USA are a bit reluctant to venture away from the Marriott and Hilton etc line up. But I can guarantee you that if you see an independent hotel in Istanbul, that is 4 or 5 stars, and has an extremely high rating on Booking.com (from at least, say, 100 reviewers - only people have stayed can leave reviews on Booking.com) you are pretty much guaranteed a good experience.

In my experience you always over-pay for International (American) Chain hotels, no matter what country you're in. 
I remember trying to pre book a hotel room in Beijing and finding the prices ridiculous. So I decided instead to wait and look when I was there. Right away I found a beautiful Chinese Brand Hotel for $120/night that was nicer than the Marriot, Hilton and other US brands that were asking $300.

I visited Villa Giani last week. I was in London for a few days decided to call in the evening before I was to fly home. I planned my schedule to visit that evening, but in the event I was actually feeling quite unwell that afternoon (and as it turned out within 24 hours I was hit by a very bad dose of cold and sore throat which lasted three or four days).   Even though I was feeling out of sorts, as I was close-by, I thought I would call in and look at the lineup anyway. That way at least I could report back a bit more info for this thread.   I rang the doorbell and a very pleasant, Hispanic looking guy, answered. I forgot to ask his name.   It was a warm afternoon outside, and it was really warm, almost oppressively so, in the basement apartment.   The receptionist confirmed that the fee was £160 for one hour. Then I was brought to the mirror window. When the guys realised there was a customer at the other side of the window, they came up to it and pulled up their T-shirts to show off their chests.   Four guys were available. Three Hispanic looking guys, and a pale, European-looking guy. The pale guy and two of the other  guys were twinks, the other guy was more muscular.   I had a gut feeling that the European looking guy might be Irish (I’m Irish myself, and we can tell our own, lol). When I asked receptionist where he was from, he confirmed that my gut feeling was correct.   They were all reasonably good-looking in appearance, although perhaps not as quite as glamorous looking as one might expect for £160. I note from reading this thread that the price they charge has gone from £100 just before Covid, to £130 a bit later, and now £160. Well, good luck to them if they can get the money.   I was there at 6:20, and receptionist told me that if I wanted to take a guy, there would not be a free room available on the premises until 7 pm. I ask him to explain a bit more about their opening times, as the website says they are open from 1 pm until 7 pm. He explained that they are open later, but that there were only guys available to view until 7 pm.   I decided not to take a guy that day, mainly because I wasn’t feeling all that well.   I felt a little bit guilty about just being a "looky-loo" but the receptionist was very pleasant about it, and said it was no problem. Generally the whole atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. I don’t think anybody should feel nervous are going for a look, if they’re interested. It is literally a five minute walk from Earls Court tube station.

I have posted my adventures in Athens in another website. I have sent you a DM about that.
But in brief:
Hustler bars - There are two bars to visit. One is called Sami's Bar (sometime spelled Sammi's) and the other is Bizzar - are close to Viktoria Metro stop. One of the bars is actually only open on Friday and Saturday, so you better be in Athens at the weekend if you want to try them out.
Street trade - Some around Omonia Square. AYOR.
Websites - one of the best sites for Athens is Hunqz, . Last September, I agreed to meet two guys from Hunqz, one on Monday and one on Tuesday. The price for each was €100, I went to the apartment of one guy and asked another to come to my hotel – I offered him an extra €20 for this. 
 
 
 
 
 

Typical Cote d'Zur; dozens of private jets parked and a Helicopter boarding area.
 

Not going out tonight as we have an early flight to Vienna but from a pic I saw the weekend strippers at Glam by our hotel in the center are pretty hot. The rest of the many gay bars are in the Old City closeby.

I'm not the original poster, but I had good experiences with these 2:

Update. Le 6 on a wednesday had maybe a dozen customers at 11pm including 4 women. The bar has a shower stage but is only about 15 ft by 15ft. The manager told me shower shows are only Fri and Sat after midnight. Its in a chic straight area.

My next night in Thermas
Second Night - Thursday   There was a bigger crowd of guys this time. Maybe 15 escorts and slightly more customers. Several escorts approached me, but none very aggressively. I had a chat with Juan, who was there again, and seemed anxious for repeat business. In general the feeling I got was that they rentboys were nearly all South American guys. However, I did not like to question too much if I wasn’t interested in them, as I didn’t want to be seen to be "leading them on", so to speak.   I went for a dip in the little pool there ( a very pleasant feature which few mention in reviews) and saw a rather moody looking guy sitting in the seats in the corner at that level. He was a rather handsome, masculine, Eastern European looking kind of guy, so I went over and said hello. He was the only guy I took the initiative to approach in the Sauna.   He turned out to be a Russian guy called Ivan. We we had a chat and we agreed to go to a room. The only free rooms were both very dark and small, so I decided to splash out €10.50 for a private room The main advantage this was that it had sheets on the bed, and you could turn the lights up a lot, all the better for appreciating Ivan's fine physique!   Ivan told me he was straight, and top only. He had previously been a professional footballer. But now he was unemployed, and needed money, hence his working in Thermas. I am guessing that as a non-EU citizen, his legal employment options in Spain were limited also.   We agreed to €60 for him to give me a massage and mutual masturbation. The massage was a bit hard for me - he told me he had been trained in proper sports massage, but I am more used to the light rubbing you get in Thai sexy massage place as a prelude to the "afters".   He then offered to fuck me. However, I was not in the mood for that, so I just told him I wanted him to cum. He said that he wanted another €30 or €40 for that, so I decided not to bother (there is nothing as desire-killing, as a guy who starts to negotiate in the middle of a session). In fairness to him, however, we had not discussed it before we entered the room, and I know it would probably hinder his ability to do so with a later client. So I didn’t hold that against him   Instead I just got him to  wank me until I came.   In the room, he seemed a little morose. I asked him if he was thinking of going back to Russia, and he said he was afraid to at the moment, with the possibility of conscription into Putin's war machine.   When we ended our session though, he accepted his €60 with a big smile, and volunteered to give me his phone number so we could arrange a session outside Thermas. So I think he was happy with his 40 minutes work and remuneration overall. However, as I was flying out the next day, I couldn’t take him up on the offer.   All in all, although it was not the most exciting sex experiences I have had, it was very pleasant and relaxing The rentboys all stayed out of the clients locker area, and it felt a very safe environment for both the rentboys and clients.

I visited Thermas over two successive nights at the end of April.   First Night - Wednesday   On the first night, I got there about 6 pm.  I don’t see that many guys about  - I would say there was about seven guys for hire, and maybe same amount of clients.    In particular I noticed three rather feminine young men, who I first though were rentboys, but then realised that they were clients. They tended to stay in their own group and made no attempt to hire that I saw. I am not sure if they went into the wrong sauna, or just wanted to have a look around at the scene (of course, for all I really know, they may have been sated from a big orgy with a dozen rentboys just before i arrived).   Some of the escort guys were eating and seemed to have retired from the hunt, for the time being at least. I was only approached by a Nigerian guy and a South American guy (cannot remember exactly which country he said) named Juan.   I was not hugely taken with either guy. I agreed to go into a room with Juan for massage, which ended in mutual masturbation and he gave me a BJ. We agreed on €50 and I gave him €60  - we are in the room from maybe 40 minutes altogether.   The sauna was a bit quieter than I anticipated, so I asked Juan if it had been busier earlier in the day, and he said it was. So the next day Thursday I made an effort to be there by 4 pm.

I was only approached by a Nigerian guy and a South American guy (cannot remember exactly which country he said) named Juan.   I was not hugely taken with either guy. I agreed to go into a room with Juan for massage, which ended in mutual masturbation and he gave me a BJ. We agreed on €50 and I gave him €60  - we are in the room from maybe 40 minutes altogether.   The sauna was a bit quieter than I anticipated, so I asked Juan if it had been busier earlier in the day, and he said it was. So the next day Thursday I made an effort to be there by 4 pm.  

My next night in Thermas
Second Night - Thursday   There was a bigger crowd of guys this time. Maybe 15 escorts and slightly more customers. Several escorts approached me, but none very aggressively. I had a chat with Juan, who was there again, and seemed anxious for repeat business. In general the feeling I got was that they rentboys were nearly all South American guys. However, I did not like to question too much if I wasn’t interested in them, as I didn’t want to be seen to be "leading them on", so to speak.   I went for a dip in the little pool there ( a very pleasant feature which few mention in reviews) and saw a rather moody looking guy sitting in the seats in the corner at that level. He was a rather handsome, masculine, Eastern European looking kind of guy, so I went over and said hello. He was the only guy I took the initiative to approach in the Sauna.   He turned out to be a Russian guy called Ivan. We we had a chat and we agreed to go to a room. The only free rooms were both very dark and small, so I decided to splash out €10.50 for a private room The main advantage this was that it had sheets on the bed, and you could turn the lights up a lot, all the better for appreciating Ivan's fine physique!   Ivan told me he was straight, and top only. He had previously been a professional footballer. But now he was unemployed, and needed money, hence his working in Thermas. I am guessing that as a non-EU citizen, his legal employment options in Spain were limited also.   We agreed to €60 for him to give me a massage and mutual masturbation. The massage was a bit hard for me - he told me he had been trained in proper sports massage, but I am more used to the light rubbing you get in Thai sexy massage place as a prelude to the "afters".   He then offered to fuck me. However, I was not in the mood for that, so I just told him I wanted him to cum. He said that he wanted another €30 or €40 for that, so I decided not to bother (there is nothing as desire-killing, as a guy who starts to negotiate in the middle of a session). In fairness to him, however, we had not discussed it before we entered the room, and I know it would probably hinder his ability to do so with a later client. So I didn’t hold that against him   Instead I just got him to  wank me until I came.   In the room, he seemed a little morose. I asked him if he was thinking of going back to Russia, and he said he was afraid to at the moment, with the possibility of conscription into Putin's war machine.   When we ended our session though, he accepted his €60 with a big smile, and volunteered to give me his phone number so we could arrange a session outside Thermas. So I think he was happy with his 40 minutes work and remuneration overall. However, as I was flying out the next day, I couldn’t take him up on the offer.   All in all, although it was not the most exciting sex experiences I have had, it was very pleasant and relaxing The rentboys all stayed out of the clients locker area, and it felt a very safe environment for both the rentboys and clients.
