Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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!
