From our arrival to our checkout, the hotel and staff were outstanding! Pleasant, unhurried, and very helpful. The breakfast addition to our booking was an excellent value: beautiful and carefully prepared food with great service. The dining room has an expansive view of the City and harbor area. Excellent dining directly across the street — Mivan has a great variety of savory local foods. This is a highly recommended property. I would definitely stay here again!

Ajwa Sultanahmet Hotel is a beautiful hotel perfectly located in the old town area, within walking distance of famous historical sites like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. We had so much fun exploring the neighborhood and discovering amazing rooftop dinner spots nearby. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

Classy Turkish hotel great location tucked away on the hill. Food, shopping, dining were few steps away. Good internet service. Breakfast was great. It was on the top floor with a view of the city. Comfortable bed, good size rooms. Staff was very helpful. Very close to all the major sites. Be prepared to walk - sometimes its faster. Would stay again at this hotel.

5 Star hotel in the heart of the Old City

The staff were incredibly helpful. Most of all, this hotel is quite elegant and tucked away in the Old City, about a .8mile walk from major sites. It does require some steep walking up/down hill. They have a free shuttle that will take you to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and the Grand Bazaar. They are happy to arrange for a taxi to other locations (Galataport, airport, etc.) Beds really comfortable, all marble bathroom nicely appointed with towels individually wrapped.

We had a great experience at the Ajwa hotel in Istanbul. The hotel is quiet and elegant, staff are polite and helpful, the hotel rooms are well maintained and staff are willing to provide a great service to meet all your needs. The quality of breakfast is superb! A big thank you to Abdul Rehman for all his efforts during breakfast every morning. We had a great stay at the Ajwa hotel, my only criticism is that I felt that the air conditioning in our room (207) wasn’t a five star hotel standard! When returning to our room after a day out in the scorching 36 degrees the AC was not sufficient to cool you down quickly. Also, if you have mobility issues then the location might not be for you but the rest is absolutely 5 stars.
