The hotel has a great location and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I had a bad experience with the restaurant that included charging for a bottle of water, which was never supplied (the glass appeared with about 3 cm of water in it), and ice cream being served with a fork. I also did not like the birds in cages, including one that was by itself in a small cage that did not even allow it to fly.

My stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. The staff went above and beyond—always friendly, attentive, and eager to help. The location couldn’t be better, with all the major tourist attractions just a short walk away. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

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.

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!
