Made sure we had taxis ready when we needed them. I just can't say enough. The room was lovely and clean. Also the location was great with many things nearby including trams.

The hotel was very nice and in a great area near all the main attractions. The decor was beautiful, and staff was very helpful
The only thing I would complain about is the seperate pool and gym times for men and women. I understand cultural norms, but feel having an hour or 2 per day for family time would have been nice. I would have liked to swim and work out with my daughter.

Other than that it was an excellent hotel

Located on an accessible street in Sultanahmet, this is a great anchor point for exploring Istanbul. The staff is overly helpful, even flagging us a free taxi one day. Some rooms open to the inside, and have no view to speak of, but other than that, this is an excellent hotel, well worth the price.

This is a great hotel and the staff if great. I would normally give it a 5 star review but there is something that you need to be aware of as a traveler that is not disclosed on the booking site. You cannot use the pool or the spa with your significant other as the times when the men and women can use the gym and spa services are different. Women can use the services from 6 am to 8 am, men from 8 am to 3 pm and then women again from 3 pm to 8 pm. Therefore, if you are a man and you have toursist attractions to visit during 8am to 4 pm, you cannot use the gym or spa services and if you are a woman that wants to work out early, it has to be very early. We were told because this hotel follows orthodox islamic rules but these rules are very misplaced as when we went for breakfast on the top floor, out of the 6 days we went for breakfast, there was only one woman that wore the hajab (Islamic covering for women) and thus them stating that men and women had separate pool and spa times made no sense. Especially since the massage rooms were private anyway and would not have disturbed members of the other gender. I do not recommend this hotel if you want to enjoy the gym, pool, and spa services with your significant other. I would not return even though the physical facilities and the staff were great.

had a wonderful stay at Ajwa Hotel Istanbul. The location is excellent—very close to many of the main attractions, making it easy to explore the city on foot.
The hotel restaurant was very good, and there are also plenty of great dining options nearby. I also experienced a traditional Turkish bath (hammam) at the hotel, which was a highlight of my stay.
What truly stood out was the staff—everyone was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout my visit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

I visited with my daughter for a week. We chose this hotel for its proximity to the sights in Sultanahmet. The staff was welcoming and helpful in advice for sightseeing. Also, it was clean and nicely decorated in the lobby. Housekeeping did an excellent job. Only con in the room was that it’s a little dark despite the available lighting. I liked that they have several types of pillows to choose from.
The major drawback for me here was that the gym/spa opens at 8am can only be used by men from 8am to 3pm then women 3pm to 10 pm. The problem is that we were always out early morning after breakfast for sightseeing tours and when we came back, it was only allowed for women. I understand their cultural separation of men and women but to be competitive in the international market, the hotel should have additional hours outside of their strict Male/female hours. We were told by the front reception that another time may possibly be arranged but that was never to be. All in all a decent stay but with one major drawback. Also, this particular hotel does not serve any type of alcohol at its Zeferan enclosed rooftop restaurant.

The location of this hotel is its biggest problem. It’s not close to public transit which makes it very difficult to get around if you’re not a hardy walker. The beds are very firm and not all Kingsize if that’s important to you. The staff do their best to help solve problems. On the positive side, the breakfast is good, served on the top floor with a gorgeous view of the Bosporus. The spa is fantastic! We were given 2 spa treatments on the house. The Lavender Body Scrub and Massage was amazing. This hotel is a nice 3 star but it doesn’t come close to the 5 star hotels we have stayed in around the world.

From smaller gestures, like a complimentary refreshing drink on arrival and an unexpected souvenir gift after a simpler seamless checkout. Competent and useful concierge and front desk staff always warmly greeted us, and transportation was always readied and at the door. Housekeeping kept our rooms clean and well stocked. Breakfast was not as elaborate as the Ritz-Carlton or other 5-star hotels provide, but still most satisfying and the white tablecloth and professional wait staff superior. Will absolutely stay here again when in Istanbul, as the superior experience is accentuated by its ready proximity to everything. Again, a thoroughly superior experience!

They have a free shuttle that will take you to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and the Grand Bazaar.

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.

The hotel is new and close to sultanahmet square and key historical sites in old instambul ( European side). Staff is wonderful and was always very polite and available to help. We stayed at the White House villa which is owned by the hotel and 10 min away by foot. They can provide transportation if needed. Villa is beautifully decorated and brand new as welll. Location of villa is not that close to hotel so important to coordinate by phone if you need any services done there. Great place for a group of 8 or 10 as they have 4 large bedrooms, can put roll over beds and there are many places in the house for get togethers including a second floor living room, a kitchen area and a typically decorated living room that looks into a private patio. Very good if you have kids who need space to hang out during the day while not touring.
