I spent 5 nights at this lovely hotel in December 2008 - my 3rd visit to this hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful and can arrange trips around Istanbul such as a Bosphorus Cruise or dinner at the Galata Tower. Since my last stay they hotel has been re-decorated and the rooms have been upgraded - the bathroom was... more

I thought the hotel staff stole my sony camcorder. It turned out that the crew members from Oceania had taken my camcorder from my room the morning we were disembarking. My apologies to the hotel for thinking that it was the Hotel's doing. more

We stayed for 3 nights in room 215 (Superior Room) which had dressing gowns, slippers, flat screen tv and more space. On arrival staff showed us around and were informative and friendly. The room was kept clean each day and was very relaxing. Breakfast and service was excellent, a good range of food although it did not change each day... more

My daughter and I stayed for a week at the Celal Sultan. The location was perfect, in the Sultanahmet District between the Blue Mosque and the Haghia Sofia. The hotel was clean and attractively decorated. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast, although it did not vary much, had plenty of choice. Overall, we would highly recommend this... more

Quiet area in the evening so if you want to go out clubbing every night, perhaps not for you, but there are enough little restaurants nearby including a lovely fish place. My room wasn't enormous (but I was on my... more

My wife and I stayed at the Celal Sultan hotel at the end of July 2007. It was second time visiting Istanbul but my first time with the wife. The hotel is a walking distance from all the major sites and we even got the view of Hagia Sophia from our hotel room. It was great. The service was good... more

Just back from my first - and definitely not last- trip to Istanbul where i stayed at the fabulous Celal Sultan. In a quiet side street but just moments from main attractions, this was a great base for a few days of exploring. The incredibly friendly and helpful staff took obvious pleasure in providing travel tips on how to enjoy... more

A Tripadvisor member from Lincolnshire, England. We have just returned from staying for 3 nights at the Celal Sultan Hotel on our first visit to Istanbul. Its position makes it a marvellous base for exploring the Sultanahmet area of the city. The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Cistern and Topkapi Palace are very close, and the Grand Bazaar is within... more

I stayed at Celal Sultan hotel for 3 nights recently. This hotel is located in Old City and major touristic sites like Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosques, Grand Bazzar are within 5-10 minutes walking distance. I took a shuttle bus (30 Liras) from the Ataturk airport to the hotel and it took about 20 minutes. Alternatively, the hotel arranges an airport... more
