The hotel is in prime area for visitors; however, the rooms are claustrophobic, no windows. Not sure if the air-conditioning was working. The bed mattresses and pillows are not ergonomic friendly. Too small rooms for the price

Our stay at Ajwa Hotel was truly unforgettable, with every aspect exceeding our expectations. The impeccably clean and high-quality rooms, paired with the warm hospitality of the staff, created an unparalleled experience. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, while dining at Zeferan Restaurant on the top floor was a highlight, combining exquisite dishes with stunning views. Thoughtful room amenities and complimentary services made us feel thoroughly pampered, and the housekeeping team’s incredible attention to detail ensured our room was always spotless and perfectly arranged. Ideally located within walking distance from Sultanahmet Square, the hotel serves as the perfect base for exploring Istanbul. Adding to the charm, the area is filled with roaming cats, a delightful bonus for animal lovers. Compared to many hotel experiences in the United States, Ajwa Hotel sets a new standard for luxury, service, and comfort. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Istanbul!
