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

After an Oceania Cruise from Barcelona to Istanbul, we stayed 4 days post cruise at the Celal Sultan Hotel . Our group of 6 from Sacramento Calif. had 3 rooms. Our room was at the front of the hotel overlooking the street. We enjoyed Istanbul with the exception of the theft of the Sony Camcorder from our room. The hotel... 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 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

I made the booking via email direct with the hotel and arranged for them to pick us up from the airport. It took ages for us to go through customs and we didn't think the driver would wait for us but sure enough, he was there and we were picked up in a leather lined Mercedes van. This hotel was... more

Positives are location in heart of old town but on a side street so low noise, service at all levels, views from rooftop restaurant/bar, buffet breakfast and room rates. Rooms were fair size and comfortable, although a little worn at edges like in the bathroom. Negatives are smoking in the lobby (rooms are non-smoking). A tip would be to use... more

We stayed at the hotel in June 07 for 2 nights, then 2 nights away (on a tour to Gallipoli) then back for 2 nights. Seffer, the driver for the hotel was waiting for us at the airport- a lovely man who would not let me or our daughter wheel our suitcases- a real gentleman!! The van was more like... more

It is really good but there are at least 100 more hotels in the same location;we found out when we see.The website of the hotel is great, everything looks fine. But when u come to the actual place you see that it is a sort... more
