I liked the location, very near to attractions. Breakfast is quite good buffet. Staff are helpful and nice people. Shower area and hot water perfect. Air condition is good.

Rooms are a little small but ok. Toilet has no shattaf (water hose for cleaning) just a built in nozzle which is not convenient and consuming more water (however most turkish hotels using the same ). They don't privide iron machine. The refrigerator noise in the room. The exhaust fan in bathroom not working. Generally classification of 4 stars for this hotel is not matching with modern countries classification... but for Turkey this hotel level as 4 stars is reasonable compared to other nearby hotels. Doors are opened by normal keys. Noise from neighbors can be heared but still ok. Only one chair povided in the room.

The hotel was very well located amongst the major tour attractions, all in short walking distance. Plenty of restaurants around providing a lot of choice. The hotel itself is neat, very clean and well presented. The staff were extraordinarily helpful with 24/7 reception. The breakfast was included and very suitable. Overall a very nice place and I would stay again.

The location did have a downside being next to Hagia Sophia with a 6am call to prayer “wake up call”.

Quiet clean nice staff. Breakfast good. Let shower run a few minutes to get hot not a big deal. Our room 315 faced Hagia Sophia (omg 2 blocks away! ) Blue Mosque 1 block further. Right in the middle of all tourist must do spots. Hotel will arrange airport pickup. Even that was amazing 1 block over from the hotel go to The AND Hotel and restaurant On the roof. Amazing views ... ask for Ken ... he makes it an amazing experience. Takes photos for you. Takes care of you Is a bit pricy but worth every penny. Made for a memorial evening! A once in a lifetime experience. We are loving Istanbul and have only been here 3 days. Doing 10 day tour around western Turkey. Tour Radar ... we used them in Morocco and were very impressed with our knowledge 3 m?

Close to Blue Mosque and main sights. Clean and staff efficient. Breakfast was ok, limited choice and didn’t vary at all, but plenty there. Breakfast staff were excellent and hard working. Bed comfortable

The rooms were spacious but soulless. I was hoping for something with a bit more personality. Sorry to say but the front desk staff were pretty grumpy, especially the night manager who couldn’t pull himself away from his phone sometimes to speak with you…it’s a shame, a smile costs nothing but it can make a difference to your impression of the place….

The hotel and room were clean. The staff was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of options and the coffee was good. The location is so convenient to many of the main sights.

The a/c in the room stopped working one evening, but was working the next day. Toiletries could be a bit better quality. Some appeared to be reused if they were not completely emptied by the previous guest - some bottles were only partially filled. The elevator was broken the 3 nights we were there and was still broken the day we left. One of the workers said it was as supposed to be fixed in a few more days.

I loved how close the property was to main attractions so close to Hagia Sophia and basilica cistern and the blue mosque not even a 5 min walk. Have stayed at this hotel before with my family but came again because of how great the staff are and how good the location is as well as the hotel being very clean. Would definitely come again and stay at the same hotel. The staff are very attentive and looked after us well especially with sorting out airport transfers and the cleaners are also good left the room very clean. Would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Istanbul and would recommend staying in the sultanahmead region as there is such a peaceful vibe. I also felt very safe as a young women in the area so would recommend it for any young female travellers. As well as the staff being very nice too and made us feel comfortable The hotel room we had has such a great view of the Hagia Sophia and overall amazing vibes in the area when I come Istanbul again I would 100% stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to any family or friends who come here !!!

Location was exceptional, central to the main tourist destinations (Aya Sofia Mosque, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace Museum, Basilica Cistern, etc), but also quiet. Great views from the roof bar, which wasn't actually open (off season) but which the bar steward was keen to share with us. Breakfast very good except for the coffee. My room was very pleasant and comfortable. Good shower, etc. Warm despite the snowy weather outside!

My brother thought his room was a bit cramped. Lighting in the lounge rather too dim for reading.

. Helpful friendly staff. . Room upgrades (thanks, Kerem!) . Great location for exploring the main sites on foot And to summarise , if we went back to Istanbul, we'd consider staying at the Celal Sultan again.

Rooms a little bit warm for our liking (typically 22 degrees centigrade) and air con switched off because of the season. Of course, opening the windows helped 😀. Breakfast was fine for us (your tastes might be different, of course) but a bit more variety each day would have been nice if possible. Noise from corridors sometimes intrusive due to large air gaps under doors, but that seems quite common in hotels these days, and I assume a safety thing??

The location.

The breakfast was not on top of the building as shown in the picture.

the location for all the main historical attractions was superb. the staff were all very helpful and friendly. the roof terrace was a nice place to sit with friends to have a late evening drink. the room was clean and well looked after.

the lift to our side of the hotel was often not working resulting in walking up 4 flights of quite narrow stairs. it was unfortunate that on every occasion we asked about food in the evening the Cook was not available and not food could be provided.
