This hotel is wonderful and a true jewel in the city. Furniture is all hand made and incredibly beautiful. Staff is very attentive, cordial and professional. Breakfast is well served and tasty. We didn’t try the Michelin restaurant (they don’t serve wine and we cheese antes to try local wines with dinner, so it didn’t fit our needs), but the space has amazing views and food looks delicious. Rooms are specious, same as bathrooms. Location is in Old Town so a bit hectic; however, if you want to be close the Gran Bazaar, it is just 5 mins walk, everything else (I.e. Blue Mosque, etc.) is around 15 mins walk, so it is a good location.

had a wonderful stay at Ajwa Hotel Istanbul. The location is excellent—very close to many of the main attractions, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The hotel restaurant was very good, and there are also plenty of great dining options nearby. I also experienced a traditional Turkish bath (hammam) at the hotel, which was a highlight of my stay. What truly stood out was the staff—everyone was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful throughout my visit. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.
