Extremely nice hotel located in the heart of old city with key old city spots within walking distance. Hotel ambiance was exquisite and the staff extremely kind and helpful.
Great location and walkable, very accessible to the nearest train station going to the City Centre Europe side of Istanbul, near to shopping centres and bazaars.
I like the place and would come back again.
It has a friendly staff, a nice view from the window of my room on the Bosfour, and an excellent location to walk along the water.
Armada Hotel is in an amazing accessible location walkable distance to great restaurants, historic sites and shops. Healthy and delicious breakfast with grey views of the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. Super friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend Armada Hotel and would stay again.
This hotel is 10 mins walk away from the blue mosque, very convenient. The hotel is clean and rooms are nice, the breakfast buffet is simple but lovely. I would say if anyone has mobility issues then look for a hotel closer as the walking might can be steep to the tourist areas unless you’re using taxi. Otherwise the hotel is in a good location and walkable, the metro is also near the blue mosque to get to the other areas like grand bazaar / topkapi/taksim etc. metro is easy to use you can buy a metro card or use your credit card which should be like 40 lira a ride. Also I wouldn’t recommend restaurants around the hotel area as it’s very pricy and does not taste as good. The hotel itself great! And has a sea view at the back which is also a 2 minute walk.
Our stay at Armada Istanbul Old City Hotel was wonderful. Staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay. Most of the famous spots like Blue Mosque , Hague Sophia are in Walking distance from the Hotel.
The breakfast was nice on the roof top with the sea view on one side and Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia on other side. I would highly recommend this Hotel.
The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is great. Rooms were very clean. The surrounding area of the hotel is full of shopping, dining and sightseeing options.
Thank you for hosting me Armada Hotel! I had an amazing time visiting Istanbul. The staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast had many variety of options to choose from. It was delightful. The walking distance to restaurants, stores and main tourist attractions were very close between 5-12 minutes walking. I hope to come visit Istanbul again.
Thank you so much for your courtesy!

It’s a hotel that is quite run down and I must say a compliments Ru drink should include something a bit more premium than tea, coffee or water… overall it was a 2-star experience and I would not return
The roof top terrace gave amazing views of the sea and the Blue Mosque.
Our room also overlooked the sea.
The staff were friendly and accommodating and the breakfast had plenty of choice and was delicious.
Breakfast buffet is a waist mostly carries things people don’t like to eat especially sweets in early morning breakfast should be a continental that everyone can eat I hope in my next visit I would see some changes in offering breakfast .
