Wonderful stay! I was traveling with my wife and kids. They treat you like one of their own family members here in the AJWA. Very accommodating at any hour of the day. Area has some neat spots nearby for dining and walkable to some touristy attractions. Definitely staying with AJWA when I visit Turkey in the future.

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, heā€™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. Iā€™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.
