Celal Sultan Hotel

We choose Celal Sultan for its central location in Sultanahmet. And how central it was, appeared when we opened the curtains of our room (no. 315): we had a great, non-interrupted frontal view of the Aya Sofya at a distance of less than 150 meters! Still the noice reduction was perfect, for we didn't hear the imam calling with closed windows.

What we did hear -and kept us awake- were other guests on the terrace just above our room. So, keep this in mind when booking a room in this hotel. Another disadvantage of our room was that the bath didn't have a plug and although we told the reception and although someone had a look, this was never fixed. So no bath during our 5 day stay. This really is a shame for a superior room!!!

Still, I can recommend this hotel for its location and style.

About food and drinks: we had some nice cocktails at the bar. We didn't have dinner at the restaurant, but the breakfast buffet was excellent.
