Andrew
Perfect little spot in the heart of Istanbul. The room was comfortable, the staff were courteous and helpful, and the continental breakfast was satisfying. Easy walking to the main historical attractions in this neighbourhood i.e. the palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, etc.
Jason
We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean, well furnished and decorated. Only draw back was the shower seemed to leak sideways spraying water on the floor. Hotel staff was very accommodating and made sure they always greeted and felt welcomed. Hotel was in close proximity to all attractions.
Frances
Turkey has very friendly welcoming people and this was evident at the Celine Hotel. The room was beautiful and well appointed and although smaller than what North Americans are used to, it was all we needed. I loved the decor, even the ceiling was beautiful. The bathroom was modern and decorated with marble tiles. Keep in mind that everything is more expensive in Europe, including electricity. The air conditioning and lights only work if you’re in the room and you’ve put your key card in the slot! The included breakfast saved us time and money. The hotel’s location was a short walk to many attractions. A grocery store and pharmacy also nearby. We had a lovely stay. Highly recommend.
Amber
All of the staff were extremely accommodating and did everything to ensure our stay was amazing. The location is wonderful, close to all major attractions and the free breakfast was great each morning.
Also, the entire facility was extremely clean! I only saw one woman on the cleaning staff during my stay there and she was SO KIND and did an awesome job keeping the place spotless!
If I ever go back to Istanbul, this will be the place I stay again. Thank you for everything!!

Location was one of the best things of this most amazing boutique hotel. Everything was top-notch from the rooms to the lovely breakfast! Staff was most friendly and we even received a box of Turkish Delight when we left. Definitely recommend this place.
Philip
Very clean, great staff and the location was perfect for a lot of the main places to see such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, etc. 20 minute walk to the Grand Bazaar, 25 minute walk to Galata Tower. Lots to see in walking distance.

We arrived early to Celine hotel and were able to store our bags there until our room was ready. The staff said we could go downstairs for coffee in the breakfast room which is a delightfully decorated room.
We were given brochures of things to do and we selected a dinner cruise of the Bosporus and the staff arranged for us to be picked up at the hotel that evening and transported to the boat.
The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The only issue we had was the TV remote not working properly so we could not watch TV. We enjoyed the breakfast which had a wide range of food and the staff arranged for our transfer to the airport for us. All in all a very nice stay.

Our stay at Celine Hotel could not have been better. The location in Istanbul’s historic district is truly exceptional—step outside and within minutes you’re surrounded by some of the city’s most iconic and breathtaking sights.
The hotel itself, a beautifully restored mansion, perfectly blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere throughout.
What truly set this experience apart was the staff—their attentiveness and willingness to help with sightseeing recommendations and airport transportation made everything seamless.
Waking up to views of the Bosphorus from our window was unforgettable. And breakfast each morning was a highlight: a generous and delicious spread of fresh fruit, nuts, olives, savory dishes, sweet pastries, and more, all served in a lovely, light-filled atrium.
A memorable stay in every way—we would return without hesitation.

Neda
Amazing staff, cute hotel, beautiful breakfast area and excellent service from the breakfast crew. The area is very noisy so if you need a quiet place to sleep you need to use earplugs.
TEHMINA SHAHID
We had an amazing stay at Celine, the facility is excellent with comfortable room and excellent amenities, a gorgeous property with everything an experienced traveler wants. The location is perfect. 3 minutes to Blue Mosque, 6 mins to Grand Bazaar. Breakfast was so good! Staff is great. We preferred and enjoyed our stay Celine more than the fancy hotel we chose to stay in on the European side rest of our trip. I took off a star only because during the stay, we got our room cleaned one time and one of my fancy clothing item went missing thereafter. I reported to the hotel management immediately and they took the matter very seriously! The owners got involved, and assured me their staff wears cameras while cleaning and they assessed the 2 hour film to track etc. But the fact remains, that it is still missing. I guess this is something travelers are aware of during stays in any part of the world. Money, jewelry, passports were all untouched. I loved how the hotel managed the issue, I would still go and stay at Celine despite this incident. Excellent choice if you want to stay in the heart of Sultanahmet.

The Celine Hotel is wonderful. A historical building with a great location to the main sites. Rooms are lovely and clean. Hotel staff is welcoming and friendly. We would prefer more fresh fruit for breakfast but we had a lovely stay and would stay again.

Lauren
This is my third time staying at Celine and I adore it! It’s reasonably priced with great service. It’s a gorgeous historical spot with a modern and updated look. Beds are comfy, washrooms are roomy. You have all the amenities you need. Breakfast is decent with a lot of options and a bright little recessed interior courtyard. The location in old town cannot be beat. Close to all action but still on a quiet street. If you’re lucky, your window will open to a sea view. There is a hotel/restaurant nearby with the most incredible views of Istanbul. The food is mediocre but the view is unparalleled. The Celine staff will help you find this viewpoint. I’ll be back again.

Sofiya
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.
Brittany
Beautiful intimate hotel. Amazing location! Central to all the big sites in the Old City. Highly recommend!!

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 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.

Great location and friendly staff.

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…

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.
Thanks to everybody there!!!

I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. Small- only 14 rooms- but quiet and clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful guiding me around the places to go in Istanbul and how to get there using public transport. The breakfast was delicious- coffee a must! Location is exceptional - ten minutes walk to Blue Mosque and Ahi Sofia. Totally recommend this place!! Stay there !!

Hotel Celine is a quaint, comfortable boutique hotel and is in a great location in the old part of town. The staff were helpful (especially Murcel at the front desk) and attentive. However, the walls are thin and so are the windows and we got very little sleep because the street is busy and noisy at all hours of the night.
Rebecca
Perfect hotel
We couldn't have chosen any better! Lovely rooms with comfortable big beds. Spotlessly clean. Fantastic breakfast with so much to choose from.
Giordano
Great location and nicely refurbished hotel
Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Location is great, very central.
Breakfast was nice a mix of a la carte and buffet options included in the stay.
The only annoying thing was that the windows were not designed to prevent the sound form the outside and could hear people called to the mosque very early on in the morning.

A great hotel in a great part of Istanbul. It is a small but beautiful hotel with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast great and the staff were all so friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was with the air-conditioning that we could not adjust during our stay and although the staff tried to fix it it did not work.

Excellent!

Fantastic Stay, Start to Finish!
From the quick, friendly, helpful check-in and room upgrade, to clean, spacious, comfortable balcony room, our stay was perfection! Breakfast was very good ( try the menemet!) and the staff attentive and friendly. The deep soaking tub was very nice, after a long day visiting historic sights.Thank you to the kind staff, who made our first visit to Istanbul so lovely and welcoming! We would most definitely stay here again.
Dorothy
What a beautiful hotel!! We were treated with respect from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. The staff was friendly, greeting us each time we entered and exited. They were helpful in answering any questing we had. The staff at breakfast was kind and helpful and the food was amazing! Our room was clean and comfortable and serviced each day. Thank you for the great stay, Celine Hotel!

The Celine Hotel has a great location in Istanbul, about a 5-10 minute walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern, and numerous restaurants. The hotel was clean and well-kept, and had an included breakfast to fuel up before hitting these sites. The front desk was helpful and courteous. Definitely recommend!
