We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Celal Sultan. Lovely, clean room. Good breakfast although the coffee was surprisingly poor. Walking distance to Blue Mosque, Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. Special thanks to Aziz on the front desk for his help and kindness all week. Only complaint: wifi was spotty other than in the lobby area. David... More

The hotel is in a really superb location. That is where the good news ends. Our room was very tired, worn carpet chipped paintwork and a dirty shelf in the bathroom finished the review. Staff were very pushy when we arrived to sell trips etc...far too insistent. Needs some discipline with the cleaners, we left a dirty knife by the... More

Excellent buffet breakfast. Staff very professional & helpful, e.g., re phoning for restaurant reservations, printing & scanning documents. Hotel secure. Bathroom small, but with good counter...

My first time staying in a hotel in Istanbul & i'm glad I picked the Celal Sultan. Lovely hotel & in a brilliant location a short walk from all the major tourist sites. The room was clean & tidy as was the rest of the hotel. Only managed breakfast one morning but the selection available was very good - lots... More

I stayed three times in Celal Sultan within the last two years. The staff has always been friendly, helpful and a part of the success of my stays. Not only do the help you feel good in the hotel, but they also make sure you get good service from taxi drivers, restaurants and so on by calling them in advance.... More
