The Armada was our base of operations for a week in Istanbul. The location is perfect--easy access to all the major Sultanhamet attractions, main roads and mass transit, with views of the Bosphorus and the Blue Mosque most prominent. The rooms are smallish but tastefully done and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is large and varied and the terrace is a... more

Service, breakfast buffet, room, and other amenities are first class. As Americans we were especially pleased to have WASH CLOTHS supplied with the rooms - an unusual amenity we have not found in many other countries.

We loved the view from our room of the Sea of Marmara - it is one of my memories of our trip. We also found the restaurant... more

For a large city hotel, the Armada Hotel has many nice amenities. Very nice lobby, adequate rooms, polite staff, and wonderful dining rooms on the rooftop, where you can have either breakfast or dinner with a fabulous view of the city and harbors. At least have a drink on the rooftop to experience the lovely views! more
