Our room was modern with a lovely bathroom, large and comfortable bed, and large windows that allowed the fresh air and sunlight come in. The staff are particularly warm, professional, and deliver excellent service. The hotel is on a small cobble stone street, about a 15 minute walk to the main tourist sites, and there are several cafes nearby. The welcome beverage and cold towel service was a very nice touch! The restaurant is a disappointment, which is very unfortunate. It lacks personality. The environment is unwelcoming. This could easily get remedied by getting rid of the bird sounds and replacing it with more lively music that will allow customers to enjoy the food and the views. The environment is a critical part of the experience and the hotel can do much better by learning and executing on this concept. The same must be said about the lobby: replace the light bulbs by adding light that is warm and welcoming and add trees in pots and flowers to soften the environment and the beautiful furniture (which is beautiful, by the way). We would certainly stay there again mostly because of the comfort of the rooms.

A luxurious hotel coupled with very attentive and polite staff. We had a wonderful stay, nice place to go back to after a whole day walking the busy streets of Istanbul. I think the only thing we are not used to is the separated times when a male and female can use the spa facilities which does prevent families from swimming together, which I think is why hardly anybody used the facilities during our stay, but at the same time we must respect their traditions. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

My recent stay at Ajwa Sultanahmet was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in the heart of Old Istanbul, this luxurious hotel offers an experience that beautifully marries opulence with warmth, making every guest feel like royalty. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was struck by the meticulous attention to detail in the decor, which reflects the rich history and culture of the area. The rooms are sumptuously appointed, with comfortable furnishings and all the modern amenities one could wish for, all while maintaining a charmingly authentic Ottoman aesthetic. What truly sets Ajwa Sultanahmet apart, however, is its staff. Every team member I encountered was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was memorable. Their recommendations for local dining and tips for visiting nearby historical sites were invaluable. Speaking of location, the hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Istanbul’s rich past. It is just a stone's throw away from some of the city's most famed attractions, including the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace. The convenience of having these iconic sites within walking distance cannot be overstated. In conclusion, Ajwa Sultanahmet is a jewel in the crown of Old Istanbul. Whether you are a history buff eager to explore ancient sites or a leisure traveler looking for a touch of luxury, this hotel promises a stay that’s as splendid as it is comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visit

Location not suitable for people with disablilities or other walking difficulties. The area is surrounded by steep hills, narrow cobbled streets with broken and loose stones. The staff are very enthusiastic and probably need to be aware of the difference between providing an excellent service and over selling their products and services.

From the moment we arrived, we felt that the hospitality was above and beyond at the AJWA. It’s the boutique, intimate level of experience that I prefer with hotels. Every attendant remembers you by name and room number. You have a personal assistant to help you for anything you need during your stay. For example, I needed something from the pharmacy, so they sent someone to get it for me and they brought back the item and receipt and I just paid them, but it was so much more convenient than me having to run out and try to find a pharmacy. I also needed ice packs frozen and they would freeze them for me and then deliver them to my room. The evening turn down service is also so pleasant having your pillows fluffed every night. Oh, and their pillow menu is amazing! In addition to the pillows provided, there’s an extra pillow menu for you to choose additional pillows for your comfort. The breakfast every morning is exquisite. I highly recommend this hotel. Impeccable service, cleanliness, hospitality, and luxury.
