Excellent Hotel to stay at. Friendly staff and great service. Room is spacious for a couple and we would definitely recommend an ocean side room for spectacular views. Lovely terrace where one can enjoy the istanbul skyline and admire the Blue Mosque and have an enjoyable turkish breakfast. Will be back on our next visit

The Armada Istanbul Old City Hotel was an excellent choice for our first visit to Istanbul. It is within walking distance of many of the major sites to see--the Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, and many hammams. In addition, there are tons of restaurants and cafes nearby. However, this is a very touristy area, with high-pressure hawks inviting you to come into their shop or restaurant, and we found this to be very tiring. It was a good location for our first visit, but if we were coming back, we would choose a hotel in a different area to get a more authentic experience. The hotel itself was wonderful, with a stunning view of the Hagia Sofia from the patio, and excellent service.

Good location, room and food not so much.

We booked this hotel on the recommendation of a friend who was just there a few months ago. He was spot on: the location is great for walking to major sites, rooftop view is amazing, but room is small and food not so good. It's not a modern, contemporary hotel. It's older but not really quaint. Staff was indifferent.

People in the hotel, including front desk receptionists, house keepers and its restaurant waiters, are all friendly, nice and accessible. We checked out at 3 am and surprised to find the receptionist and concierge were there. The concierge even accompanied us to the Uber taxi that we reserved earlier. We felt we were protected.

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.

Fantastic breakfast, location and turtles in foyer

A fabulous hotel at a great price. Staff very helpful on reception. Biscuits on bar menu super tasty. Breakfast is stunning and taken on the terrace you can see the sea and the mosques. The selection of food is great, fresh honey, from a honey comb, watermelon, tomatoes, amazing omelette, so much choice I can’t name it all. Try the dried mulberries though really nice. I so enjoyed my stay and would certainly book again if I went back. Only draw back was service slightly slow on an evening in the roof top terrace for drinks but the view is amazing so happy to wait a few minutes longer while soaking up the atmosphere. Close to blue mosque and the train to take you to the port, all most convivial.
Breakfast is amazing.
There are turtles in the foyer fountain. Really nice to see. Lovely decor in hotel generally.
