Celine Hotel - Ottoman Mansion

The owner and other staff who were at the desk were just lovely. They were warm, welcoming, friendly, helpful. Yunus is a very nice guy and truly a people person. The room was fine and the bed was comfortable. Loved the small terrace overlooking the street; it was a joy to sit outside sipping a beverage after sightseeing or shopping. Outstanding breakfast. Everything was fresh and delicious with plenty of choice. They even acquired decaffeinated coffee and brewed it especially for me. The location is very central and walking distance from anywhere in Sultanahmet.

Turkey is known for its fine textiles. Considering the quality of the Celine, the polyester sheets on the bed were out of place--pilling and tired; towels were thin and skimpy. They can easily up their game on the bed and bath linens. I also suggest they adopt what other hotels are doing: instead of individual shampoos and lotions, have fine name Turkish cosmetics in large dispensers in the shower and adjacent to the sink. Easier and environmentally friendly. Not the fault of the Celine but it is located about 1000 feet from a mosque. The call to prayer at 5 am is an alarm literally in your room. It is on a loudspeaker and there is no way to not hear it at full volume. Closing windows and door does nothing.

Everything! Stylish rooms, super comfy bed, great location, friendly & helpful staff, nice breakfast

Not a dislike because you expect it in big cities, but the room was a bit on the tight side. But the Shower and Air con were great.
