Büyükada Scuba Diving Vacations

My stay at the hotel was decent overall, but it didn’t quite stand out in any major way. The staff were polite and generally helpful when needed, though the interactions felt a bit routine rather than especially warm or memorable.

Breakfast is fantastic

We booked the Carina Gold based on the reviews reviews and it didn’t disappoint. The location was perfect. We walked to everything in the old city within minutes. The concierge was very helpful in giving us itinerary ideas and setting up what we decided to do. The hotel arranged pick up at the airport and back. The breakfast was very extensive for the size of the hotel. Also very good. Spotless clean room and common areas made me happy. Staying here was an excellent experience that I highly recommend.

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.

Overall, a nice stay. Room was clean and breakfast buffet was good. It’s not in the best area that is close to much, and for some reason the sixth floor where we were staying always smelled like spoiled trash. I told management about it, but it continued to smell in the hallway. Air-conditioning system shoots right down on you in bed while you’re sleeping and is in a very awkward spot. Otherwise, hotel staff were helpful and the room was clean and had a nice view. I will say, if you want to have happy patrons, do not try to charge them over $12 for one beer in your lobby downstairs. That’s extortive pricing.

Everything was perfect, especially the reception manager. He is the best.
