Very good location within walking distance of Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Palace etc. Good breakfast selection and excellent scenery from the Terrace of the hotel. Only negative was a $100 guided tour arranged by the desk that turned into a tour of the Bazaars and a carpet store rather than the historic sites. Staff was courteous and helpful with... more

This is a great hotel ideally placed for visiting the major sights of Istanbul on foot - only about 10 mins from Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Cisterns etc. The Armada is not an expensive hotel and yet its facilities are excellent. Extremely comfortable rooms, beautifully decorated; ours was spacious with air conditioning, television, tea and coffee making equipment... more

It is located in the old part of town (Sultanhamet) but far (10 to 16 minutes walking) from the noisy area of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Also... more

I have stayed at Armada multiple times. It has become my home in Istanbul to say the least with the warm welcoming staff, the unique location right in the Old Istanbul, the unbelievably rich breakfast that you have in the roof. I have had over 30 friends from MIT stay in this hotel through the years and everybody enjoyed their... more

Nice views but unfortunately I suffered alot from the mosquitos!! Becareful and close windows at night time. It is in a great location behind Sultanahmet area and a direct way to the Ataturk Airport. As a 4 stars hotel, they should improve their services such as blankets and trousers' ironing and bathrooms' services such as shampos, more soaps and changing... more

This tasteful medium-sized local-styled hotel is located right by the Bosphorous/Sea of Marmara. Major tourist sites such as the Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, Basilica Cistern and Tokapi Palace are within 15-minute walking distance. In fact, on the rooftop, you can see the top of the Blue Mosque and Aya Sophia right in front of you. The nearest tramcar and light-rail... more
