Nice, pleasant stay in the heart of old town. Super close to main attractions, like Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofiya, etc. 20 min walk will bring you to the Spice market. Lots of dining options within walking distance. The rooms are small, but clean, and you have everything you need. The pillows are a bit too hard for my taste, but the whole bad is comfy. Shower is nice, once you figure out how to use it :). Breakfast has a good selection, wi-fi is steady. People are super friendly & happy to help with anything you might need. They gave us euro plug to use, while there, and organized taxi, etc.

Pretty Good Place Despite the Touristy Area

Positives: This hotel feels Turkish in its decor and hospitality. Very tight space but it is beautifully restored. The breakfast room is charming and the servers were consistently attentive. If you want to be near the big tourist attractions, you are right there. Easy walk to Blue Mosque, the cisterns, and Hagia Sophia. Negatives: You will be accosted by storekeepers and restaurateurs every step you take! Don’t make eye contact and just keep moving. It’s exhausting after a few days. Don’t eat in Old Town. Meals are basically American prices. (Although I must say Marabella Terrace nearby had excellent views and service.) So the take-home message here is that the hotel is fine, it’s just that the area can wear you out!

Hidden gem in Old City

The location is convenient to all the great sites in the Old City. The hotel is a boutique hotel, small but very quaint with a beautiful staircase wrapped around a glass elevator. The rooms are large and feature high ceilings with great air conditioning. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The front desk staff are super friendly and helpful.

Close distance to major attractions

The room was a nice size. And the staff was most helpful. I asked for bath mats for the tub and they were supplied. I received help with using my phone and setting up eSIM. And they printed out my airline tickets. The breakfast they supplied had a wide variety of items.

Location is by far the main attraction of this small up-market five-star establishment. It is a short (5-10 min) and very easy walk to the Blue Mosque and hence within easy reach of the Hagia Sophia, the Roman Cistern and the TopKapi palace. A few minutes walk in the diection up the street, slightly uphill, takes you to a tramstation one or two stops from the Grand bazaar while two stops in the the other direction is The Galata Bridge and the quayside from which depart ferries and Bosporus cruise ships. Some rooms at the rear have a great view of the Sea of Marmara and commercial shipping anchored there. Next in attraction is the helpfulness of staff. One of the lobby concierges even lent me his own travel card which we used mainly on the trams. (Fares are very cheap). Basically nothing seems to be too much trouble. Then there is the charm of the building, a former Ottoman mansion - obviously completely refurbished, and to a very high standard, but actually retaining the original traditional timber structure within a stone exterior. The only small downside of our room was that the shower is over an unusually high-sided bath that makes it difficult if not impossible for a mobility-impaired person to use- but I feel that if we had drawn this issue to the attention of the management some solution would have been found.

The staff were nice and helpful. From the reception to housekeeping, breakfast staff were amazing!!! The hotel was old but well maintained. Only thing i noticed is my allergy attacks me due to probably aircon vents were dusty or curtains. I suggest to check that areas and dust the rooms. But overall was great. Walking distance to blue mosque, grand bazaar etc…
Breakfast and staff were excellent! Very nice and attentive

This hotel was perfect for our visit to Istanbul. Sultanahmet Square and many landmarks are only minutes walking away. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast is wonderful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. We had a room on the back side with a very nice view of the sea. We didn't hear any street noise.

We did research and decided to stay at Celine Hotel for 5 days . Spot on with cleanliness, staff hospitality, very good breakfast with various options , walking distance to major attractions , and T1 Tram station to other popular tourist areas of Istanbul which we used extensively with Istanbulkart. Will stay at this hotel in our future visit.

I had an incredible stay at the Celine Hotel. I was there on a short trip, with my cousin. The hotel is lovely, with a mix of old and new (glass elevator going through an amazing spiral wooden staircase). The staff was exceptional and very accommodating. Shout out to Mürsel from reception for great recommandations on day (and night) trips and for being one of the nicest person I ever met. The hotel is situated 5 minutes away from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia mosque,Topkapi Palace and a nice walk to the Grand Bazaar as well as Rasta Bazaar. Great location, very close to restaurants and shopping. One last thing: speak with someone at the hotel about airport transporation. We did not doing on the way in and ended up paying almost double than what we paid when booking it through the hotel. The room was great, historic-minded interior decoration (we got one at the top floor with a beautiful view of the Marmara Sea). I loved the restaurant at the lower level where we had free buffet style breakfast every morning (although they do make omelette a la carte for you!). Food was really good. We had a complimentary drink when we arrived, in the afternoon and I had a Turkish coffee that I keep thinking about! It was my first time visiting Istanbul but when I am back I would love to stay here again.

Everything about this hotel is wonderful, specially the staff, the reception guys, the breakfast boys and girls, the maids, everybody are great specially Mürsel at the front desk and Hüseyin in the breakfast area. I don’t have anything to do with the hotel, this hotel deserves this review. Rooms are great, we feel like we were at home. Very clean, bed and pillows are great also. A/C works fantastic.
