Celal Sultan Hotel  

Have stayed in this hotel three times and it is always a totally enjoyable experience. On our recent stay we were joined by our son and his wife who were made especially welcome - our rooms were of a high standard and fruit baskets were provided. The breakfasts are fantastic with a huge selection of foods; we dined twice in the rooftop restaurant which was good too and the view at evening and at night superb. Location is all one could wish for being close to all attractions in the Old city and a short walk from the water front activities. Staff are efficient and friendly, also knowledgeable about which attractions are open when. Not to be missed.

Central location, yet on quiet street.

The staff was unfriendly and one even lied...I Will give you a superior room...

good breakfast, polite personal, good design interiers

not good aircondition system, broken washing system

The place,in the center of the touristic area,the room,breakfast,the friendly people,

It was central to the city sites and the restaurants were good in the surrounding area.

The only complaint we have was the taxi ride back to the airport by the taxi company you arranged for us. He drove far to fast on the wet roads and put our lives at risk.

We chose Celal Sultan Hotel for its location and value for money. Location for visiting the old city is excellent. Easy walking distance to all major points of interest in the old city. Easy access to the airport. Courteous and most helpful staff with excellent command of English.

Fantastic location and very nice building with excellent restaurant

Room was really small and no mirrors

Clean, spacious, modern rooms and amenities. Lovely rooftoop bar with a great view and typical turkish breakfast. Was a lovely place to stay. Friendly staff.

Hotel was clean and accomodating.

Beware when you book hotel of the currency you are being charged. I booked my room unknowingly under the Euro while my friend who had the exact same room booked in US currency. I paid $600. more for the same room. Hotel would not correct the billing. Valuable lesson learned when booking in another country.

Very friendly and comfortable hotel. Central position yet very quiet. Staff polite and helpful at all times. Breakfast excellent. I would always stay there in Istanbul and have recommended it to friends.

Nothing

The hotel staff were very pleasant, willing to answer any questions and could book some excursions/shows for us. The location was excellent as we could walk to all the main sights of Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya, TopKapi and the Basilica Cistern which is just a minute away. The breakfast had good variety, tasty and platters were replenished regularly.

My only suggestion would be to serve breakfast up on the terrace with the beautiful views of the city. It seemed that it was not used to its full advantage.

Situation (right next to the Agia Sofia), design (charming), atmosphere. Also I have stayed there before and it has happy memories for me.

This visit was in January and Istanbul was in the middle of a snowstorm, so the conditions were quite exceptional, but it did feel a bit cold in the hotel room at times.

An amazing hotel to stay in for vacation or business trip. Excellent service, reception that makes a difference, a wonderful terrace restaurant with a magnificent view that anyone should definitely enjoy. Absolutely a place we would visit again and recommend to visitors from all over the world. So close to Agia Sofia and Blue Mosque...an excellent choice!!
