About this hotel, from Google
Old-fashioned lodging with plush rooms & suites, plus a stylish restaurant and a bar.
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The location was hard to beat: after a day of walking around the City and Sultanahmet, it was wonderful to be only a few minutes from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern and the public transportation. The staff were genuinely warm and always happy to help, which made the hotel feel especially welcoming.
Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious for such a central location in the historic district. Breakfast was a pleasant start to the day, and we especially enjoyed taking a quiet moment on the rooftop terrace in the evening. Overall, a charming hotel with lovely service and an excellent location — we would gladly stay here again.
This hotel is fantastic - it is centrally located to see some of Istanbul’s most beautiful attractions, the rooms are very comfortable and clean, and the staff go above and beyond for their customers. We had a day trip on of our days, the hotel organised airport transfers for us and even brought breakfast sandwiches to our door at 4:30am before we left so we’d have something to eat on the way. I highly recommend this gorgeous hotel.
This hotel was beyond perfect. They were so kind and honestly for the first time I can say I’ll come back and stay here. I was very surprised on the hospitality of this place, the gentleman in the front reception was very patient and kind. Resul was great he will be the first one you see when you come in the hotel and believe me you will be in good hands. Me and my husband felt at home and would recommend this hotel to anyone. The breakfast was just a plus , coffee and tea was great. It in such an amazing location 3 mins walk from the blue mosque , Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace Museum and the Basilica Cistern. Hotel is very convenient area. We will be back !!
My family and I stayed at the Celal Sultan Hotel for a week in July 2026, and it was a truly lovely experience. The location is absolutely perfect for sightseeing—it is just a short 4-minute walk to the Hagia Sophia Mosque, making it incredibly convenient to explore the historic heart of Istanbul.
The daily breakfast buffet was very nice with a wonderful selection to start the day. What made our stay exceptional, however, was the outstanding hospitality. A special thank you to Mr. Kareem, who seamlessly coordinated our initial booking and effortlessly handled our extension for an additional 3 nights. His professionalism and helpfulness made our extended stay stress-free.
If you are looking for comfort, prime location, and top-tier service in Istanbul, I highly recommend this hotel!
We had a lovely stay in Celal Sultan Hotel Special Class. We booked a Deluxe Double. The hotel is close to the T1 tram which gives you lots of options for sightseeing and also can be used to get to the airport by changing to the Metro system part way. Our room was very large so we have plenty of space and a good size bathroom. The breakfast was very good. All of the staff that we encountered were very helpful, professional and pleasant. There was plenty of bars and restaurants in the surrounding area so you won't be stuck for choice. We would certainly recommend staying at this hotel.
