My stay at Ajwa Sultanahmet was a blend of luxury with some drawbacks. The service was excellent, with staff treating me like family, and the beautifully designed rooms were comfortable. However, the hotel's location on a less appealing street was disappointing, and I found some of the decor to be a bit kitschy rather than elegant. The breakfast was good, but the price felt steep for what was offered.
