Fabulous hotel! The staff could not have been more accommodating when we experienced a medical issue which caused extra work for several employees. They took such excellent care of us and helped to resolve the issue. Would love to stay here again. Fabulous views from the restaurant of the sea! Good food and great service!

Disliked: Amenities
When we arrived at AJWA Sultanahmet Hotel, we were handed a form filled with numerous legal clauses and numbers. When I spoke with the hotel management about it, they rudely insisted that we either sign it or we wouldn’t get a room. They kept repeating that their hotel housed many valuable items and that they needed to protect themselves from guests. This approach made us feel more like we were in a courtroom than a five-star hotel. Ultimately, we had no choice but to sign. Furthermore, despite my prior email request for a firm mattress due to back issues, they only changed the mattress cover. The mattress itself was in such poor condition that my spouse and I sank on both sides, with the middle of the bed rising up. This is not what you’d expect from a five-star hotel. The breakfast was also extremely disappointing, nowhere near five-star quality, which only added to our frustration. Overall, our stay was far from pleasant.
