Very nice experience, I definitely recommend Celine and will stay there again when in Istanbul!
Pros:

Celine is a unique and beautiful historical building in perfect location: right next to the main city attractions, yet quiet.
Thanks a lot to the hotel staff, they were very friendly and helpful! They paid attention to my request and gave us a room with bathtub.
The room itself was not big, but just enough for two of us, it also had local touch, a nice balcony, and some see view :)
Overall we enjoyed the stay very much!

Cons:

Bad coffee at breakfast and in the room. Please consider putting normal coffee machine at breakfast

Great location, beautifully decorated.
Pros:

This hotel is set in an old Ottoman house, with beautiful decoration. We had a great view over the Sea of Marmara, and the breakfast was great. Our hosts were helpful, and arranged a shuttle for us to the airport. The location is great - close to the Blue Mosque and to the Grand Bazaar. Would recommend.

We had a great trip and the hotel was perfect for us. No complaints
Pros:

Location was perfect, staff very helpful and friendly. Room was spacious with a great view and cleaned every day. Hotel was beautiful and very clean. Breakfast was very nice. Would recommend this hotel.

Cons:

It is a traditional old hotel so the windows are original (I think) so it did not drown out the noise but it didn't affect our stay.

Alles bestens! Gerne wieder!
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist unschlagbar: die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Istanbul sind fußläufig erreichbar.
Das Zimmer ist klimatisiert, geräumig, hell und hat alles, was man sich an Ausstattung eines Hotelzimmers wünscht. Das Bad ist groß genug, mit Badewanne.
Das Frühstücksmenü ist vielfältig und reichhaltig. Der Frühstücksraum ist schön und gemütlich.
Das Personal ist äußerst nett und rund um die Uhr hilfsbereit. Alle Mitarbeiter sprechen mehrere Sprachen, sind sehr höflich und zuverlässig.
Unser besonderer Dank und die besten Grüße an sehr gut Deutsch sprechenden Herrn Can.

Супер!
Pros:

Местоположение, чистота в номере, уборка каждый день, удобная большая и чистая кровать, хороший напор горячей воды. Приветливый персонал: мы приехали в 8 утра, нас сразу заселили и предложили бесплатный завтрак, это было очень кстати после ночного перелета, спасибо!

Cons:

Завтрак вкусный, но мог быть более разнообразным, довольно скудный выбор, который не меняется и быстро надоедает

Top Aufenthalt
Pros:

Der frühe Check-in war nach unserem sehr langen 11-stündigen Flug besonders angenehm. Wir wurden äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend empfangen. Besonders positiv überrascht hat uns, dass wir sogar ein Frühstück erhalten haben, obwohl es uns eigentlich nicht zugestanden hätte – eine wirklich außergewöhnlich nette Geste.
Das gesamte Personal war während unseres Aufenthalts stets sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt war unser Aufenthalt einfach top. Dieses Hotel können wir definitiv weiterempfehlen. ⭐
