We had a great stay for four nights at Hotel Celine. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was great. We also liked the location, which was very close to things to see and do in Sultan Ahmet, and also close to the tram line which is a great way to get to other parts of the city.

Amazing boutique hotel. Room was great, comfortable bed, large space, only a few rooms per floor. Only drawback was a light noise from the power units outside the window in back, but not too bothersome. Breakfast each morning was fantastic, with an incredible view of Istanbul. A few minutes walk to Istiklal, the new port, and the tram which goes right to Sultanahmet. A few steep roads around the area. Location is next to the Italian Consulate which is good to know for pick ups and drop offs, but...

The property was lovely and the staff were very helpful and made us feel like home. We had breakfast in the restaurant 3 times - but for the price I would have only gone there once. The room was beautiful and had everything we could want in it - only thing was I wish it had more natural light. Overall we were happy we stayed there the ambience exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful hotel property perched above a central area to the main attractions. Breakfast is sensational with attentive staff. Check in was a breeze and our room was ready prior to check-in time. Great restaurant options in the hotel and close to other key sights. Our stay was very comfortable from the breakfast, the pool area, the gym to drinks. Spacious rooms for 2 guests.
