The Armada was recommended to us and we had stayed twice both for 2 days at either end of a trip to Turunc. The location is in Sultan Ahmet the old town of Istanbul, ideally placed for the Blue Mosque, Hagii Sofia, Cisterns, Grand and Spice Bazaars. The restaurant has views over the Bosphorous on one side and the Blue... more

Excelent atmospheric hotel in a very good location near to Ayasofia and all the other nuseums. Nice restaurant in terrace. The view from there is wonderful. All the places of the hotel, reception, etc and of cource the rooms are excelent. The only suggestion is to have more variaty in breakfast. more

The Armada is nicely situated within the historic district, but enough apart to be quiet. It's a short uphill walk to the Blue Mosque and the Aya Sophia and a tram that you can take to other parts of the city. The rooms are charming and very comfortable and the bathrooms very nice. The terrace dining area is a very... more

My spouse and I felt at home in the Armada since the very begining of our stay. Everything works perfectly, but the essence of achievement would not be enough if the attention of everyone there wouldn’t have been so kind and cooperative. more

Armada hotel is located at the probably best position in Istanbul. The history peninsula is exactly the place one wants to stay at. Not central while central is probably a good definition of the location. 5 minutes from Hagia Sofia, from the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi Palace , Armada Hotel is a place to remember. Beautiful rooms and general... more

The rooftop restaurant and terrace give a magnificent panorama of the Blue mosque and historic sights as well as of fishing boats and... more

This is a good quality, 4 star hotel in a really good location for getting quickly and easily to the main sights. Its is just a couple of streets down from a 'boutique' area with lots of restaurants - we managed to find a couple of neighborhood, non touristy places which were excellent value and a bit different. The breakfast... more

The Aramada is located close to major historic sites, like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. While the walk is uphill, that's fine because it's downhill after you've toured major sites. The hotel is graciously but not ostentaciously decorated with a club feeling. The rooms are not large but are tastefully appointed and comfortable. I visited wwith a small tour... more

Our recent trip to Istanbul included a week's stay at the Armada Hotel. We have traveled a great deal, all over the world, and the Armada was the best reasonably priced hotel we have found in any country. The facilities were clean and comfortable and the location was perfect for our vacation touring. But, the best part was the hotel... more
