This hotel was very well located and walkable to the sights in Istanbul. Service was excellent and the breakfast buffet was varied, delicious and fresh. We did have dinner at the restaurant one evening. The view and service were amazing but the food (for dinner) was not great. I was also a bit surprised that the hotel had no alcohol at the restaurant. Overall we had a good stay. I wish they served alcohol in their restaurant and I wish their dinner options were a bit more tasty. The breakfast was great.

HIGHLY Recommended!!
My wife and I are frequent world travelers and we like to stay in high end properties. That said, this hotel was in the top 3 of hotels I've stayed in worldwide. The service was wonderful--upon check in we were greeted with a choice of beverage and some delicious snacks while we waited on comfortable couches for check in to be complete. We got there early (8:30 AM) and did not expect our rooms to be ready, but they were and we got access immediately. From there, any ask we had was fulfilled immediately with friendliness and speed. Additionally, the hotel itself is beautiful from the decor to the furniture. Our room was very large with a sitting area and a big bathroom, even though we stayed in the lowest room category (as we did not expect to be in the hotel much). Temperature outside was extremely hot but the AC in the room kept up and our room was very pleasant temperature-wise. Additionally, the hotel is located in a perfect place, a nicer area in Istanbul that is easy walking distance to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, along with other attractions. The hotel restaurant was also extremely good, and there are other excellent restaurants right nearby. Highly recommend staying here if you are in Istanbul!!

The hotel is beautiful; however, they charged us double what we booked it at (NOT worth the price) and nowhere is it mentioned that men and women are not allowed in the pool at the same time. We booked this hotel because it had a pool, but were informed after our arrival yhat women are allowed to swim only from 6am to 8am, then men; why would we want to stay at a hotel where we cannot participate in the amenities together? Complete rip off.

Faultless experience at Ajwa
Fantastic experience. Will definitely return to AJWA the next time we are in Istanbul. All members of the Ajwa Team are willing to go the extra mile. Accommodated us without question with an early check in and late check out. Whether requesting towels from housekeeping or a taxi from the concierge, all requests are accommodated asap! The service alone warrants five starts without even taking into consideration the great location and timeless decor. One of my best hotel going experiences. Keep up the good work.

If the Sultan were still alive, he’d stay here
AJWA Sultan Suites is beautifully designed boutique hotel located walking distance from all the major historical Ottoman Empire attractions. Our room was spectacular and the people and service was five star. We had a beautifully designed room in the style of charm and Turkish accents with a gorgeous view of the Bospherous. The hotel staff was extremely generous with us and made us feel completely welcome and part of the family. I’d highly recommend this hotel over any of the other larger hotel chains if you want a unique and authentic experience of Turkey with a historical flair and pristine hospitality.

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.
