This is a beautiful hotel, with lots of attentive helpful staff. Reception, concierge and bell captain were very helpful. Rooms are a good size bearing in mind the central location. The big attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar are within easy reach. The hotel provide a shuttle service to these, which helps as the area is very hilly just like most of Istanbul. The breakfast was very good with huge choice with varied egg dishes cooked to order in addition to the extensive buffet. Staff were super friendly and attentive. The hotel does not serve alcohol but that did not effect us as plenty of nearby restaurants did. The daily complementary water also helps. T 1 tram station is 10 mins away so you can get to other areas quickly and cheaply.

Absolutely amazing hotel, a true 5 star hotel where even the small details are impressive. Can highly recommend. The rooms are beautifull in all details and the breakfast buffet is delicious. The restaurant and roomservice had very tasty and interesting food - both international food for the picky eater and more local dishes with great flavors. The staff is very nice and helpfull. All in all this hotel is the reason we had a great trip to Istanbul despite a very rainfull couple of days

Amazing experience. Excellent service. Room was absolutely beautiful, spacious and clean. Our family of four with two boys had a great time. Breakfast was delicious as well. Location is very central to all the sites and walkable. Thank you Ajwa hotel and staff for making our stay in Istanbul memorable.
