Staff went above and beyond. Beer while we waited for our room, great concierge with useful tips and help to book things.

We 've stayed at Armada Hotel five nights and every thing was perfect especially the comfort of the room and the fantastic and incredible breakfast. The room was enough spacious and always clean. The staff was very helpful. Armada Hotel is very well located, 10 minutes walk to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. And Istanbul is an extraordinary town.

The location of the hotel and the lovely rooftop terrace dining were the highlights of this hotel. It is located on a back alleyway--zero curbside appeal-- off of the seacoast highway. It overlooks the Marmara Sea on one side and on the other, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and it is also close to the Archeological Museum and Topkapi Palace.... More

Stayed here as I did a customer event on the terrace for lunch the next day. Actually the breakfast was fantastic. With a view of the city and a wonderful buffet with delightful turkish specialities (pastry both sweet and salty), cheeses, bread and then wonderful little colourful jars of spices. The room was also good - clean and not just... More

We just stayed at the Armada Hotel for two nights. The location, just below the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, is great, but be aware that you have to climb a relatively small hill to get there. The room we had was extremely small but clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the comfortable bed. The bathroom must have been updated... More

I was staying in this hotel together with my boyfriend in may 2013. The hotel staff made everything that my staying was pleasant and unforgettable. They were so attentive and delicate. There was no question they couldn't solve. The hotel itself is extremely clean and cosy. My room had the most comfortable bed I had ever had in my life.... More

Great location, friendly staff!! The location is terrific - can walk everywhere. They have the most fantastic restaurant on the roof overlooking the Bosporus with great views of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia - the food is delicious, too.
