Great location and easy walking distance to main attractions such as the blue mosque and grand Bazaar. The hotel was very clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was excellent!

Before booking, I wanted to have a sense of the authentic 20th century Istanbul vibe. That was my expectation and that's exactly what I got. The hotel has somewhat an antique feel to it which honestly was the highlight for me. It will cherishingly stay with me forever I suppose. Apart from that at the price point, pretty much everything else was also reasonable. The rooftop is really nice, as well as the sea view. As I said, you will leave with a memory mark :)

Lovely ottoman style hotel. Not very big but definitely very cozy. Located within the old city walls just across the road from Bosporus within walking distance from Sultanahmet square and other landmarks. Despite its close location to the busy touristic route it's very peaceful and quiet. The staff is absolutely amazing!! The top roof restaurant boasts a view on Hagia Sofia and the Blue mosque. Every time I come to Istanbul I stay in the Armada hotel and it was my fourth stay.

Great location near all the main attractions and public transport. The hotel is a bit older but with old world charm and great care has been taken in maintaining everything. Our room was room was very clean and comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised by the view of the sea and the old city walls. Breakfast is served on one of the terraces with all the typical offering of a turkish breakfast (this terrace becomes a restaurant at nigh with live music at night). We enjoyed the complementary tea offered at night on the opposite terrace which offers a spectacular view of sultanahmet. There was one night with a neighboring building playing very loud club music and we called downstairs to see if anything could be done. We were very grateful and surprised by how quickly the issue got resolved by the security staff. This place is a steal for the price, location and quality offered.

The breakfast was the best we've had in all of Turkey! The view from the breakfast dinning room is amazing, the Sea of one side, the Hagia Sofia and the Blue mosque on the other. We had an early morning departure and requested a breakfast "box". Instead of provided us a box with dried food, they provided us with an early morning plate with a delicious selection from their buffet! There is an amazing view from the roof top terrace especially of the Sultanahmet/Blue mosque and the Sea. The outdoor roof top terrace is open to all guests even if you are not going to order any drinks, so definitely pop up there in the evening when the Blue mosque is all lit. The staff at the front desk are very nice, accommodating, and willing to be helpful. We needed an extra blanket, we needed an early breakfast, we needed some material printed, in each case they were very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel is well located, the major turistic attractions are easily accessible from here and the river promenade accessible for a refreshing walk and river cruise in two minutes. Even though a little more expensive than other hotels offering similar conditions in the same area, it has an atmosphere of luxury and seniority. The restaurant being at the last flour, the view is splendid during the breakfast (or other meals).

This is old-fashioned hotel in the Ottoman style. The core advantages of this hotel are 1) location (1 min to the sea where you can walk along the promenade, 3 min from the Holy Sofia), 2) extremely nice terrace with fantastic views, where you can drink a cup of coffee or tea, 3) nice traditional Turkish breakfast (with opportunity to choose European meals). For me a big pleasure as well was to spend time in the lobby in the Ottoman style with alive turtles and canaries.
