Ajia is a beautiful old Ottoman "Yali" or waterside mansion overlooking the Bosporus in Istanbul. The charm of the old building, the view and location are second to none. The interior is very nicely decorated in a modern, minimalist sort of a way. Very appealing.
However, unfortunately, you should not stay there. Loud music plays all night preventing you from sleeping; room service delivers delicious food, but certainly not what you ordered; preparations for evening concerts begin early in the morning, by banging around wrought iron chairs, once again waking you up. The kind hearted fools at the front desk, try but are completely helpless and unable to help you out. They offer you coffee for compensation
An unfortunate waste of a beautiful hotel, by incompetent management. Highly overpriced.
