"Stayed in December
Staff are excellent and lean over backwards to help.
Accommodation I was everything required and was qyiet even though it’s a busy location with lots of good bars and restaurants to choose from.
Location is fantastic for all the big tourist sites, no more than 15 minutes even for pier for Bosporus cruises or the Topkapi palace.
Would be my first choice when I return to Istanbul."
"The hotel was really nice, clean and almost brand-new. The most comfiest beds, best staff members, very nice environment with cats, and a delicious breakfast by Melahat.
Mert took care of any need and so did Ahmet & Eren, no matter what time of the day or night it was. Go to this hotel, it is SOO worth it."
"Great hotel and staff!
The room has a great location, with 10% discount at the restaurant and free bottles of water, tea, coffee and baclava is definitely a plus on the staying.
Totally recommend!"

AJWA Sultanahmet
10/10 Excellent
"
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. "
"Stayed for 5 nights together with my 17year-old daughter, first-time sightseeing tour in Istanbul. Wonderful hotel, amazing food, helpful staff, clean, best possible location for sightseeing and public transport...has a swimming pool, sauna, and steam room - all included, our room was quiet, no complains... can certainly recommend as a great family-friendly hotel."
"This hotel was great, excellent, helpful staff and clean rooms. I had a bit of a problem with the AC, but this was quickly addressed, and I am happy with the way that it was dealt with. The location is also excellent."
