The hotel has an excellent location, just a block from the Sea of Marmara and about a five minute walk to the palace, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The rooms are large and comfortably appointed. Bathroom is large, has a tub and abundant hot water. Robes are provided and the towels are large and soft. Staff is friendly and... More

It was a beautiful stay at Armada. The staff are friendly and co-operative and very helpful. Breakfast was a lavish spread and the food over various meals was superb. Room for a double room was not specious though. Too cramped. Did not use the other facilities hence cannot comment. Over all a very good hotel.

Don't be put off by the creepy reception area with a pool filled with turtles hypnotically trying to climb out. It will make you want to run, but don't. This hotel is very conveniently located- which was our reason for booking it- you can literally walk to the main sights. given the traffic, you won't want to take taxi or... More

Armada good value for money in a wonderful location. A boutique Ottoman style hotel offering excellent hospitality & generous meals though the bar service could be improved. The customer service desk offered outstanding assistance with booking tours and advice on local attractions.

I have recently returned from an eight night family holiday in Istanbul. Five of the nights were spent in the Armada Hotel. It is a very well run hotel with helpful staff, spotlessly clean comfortable rooms and a beautiful rooftop restaurant with wonderful views of Istanbul. The breakfast is particularly good with a fantastic choice of Turkish specialities. The restaurant... More

You don't need to request your own room with a view, because all guests here are spoilt for panoramic choice; meals are served on a roof terrace which has breathtaking views. At breakfast you gaze out over the shimmering waters of the Marmara sea, whilst at dinner you have the double delight of both of Istanbul's landmark, world heritage mosques.... More

We were recommended to stay at the Armada due to its location for the attractions of Istanbul.Our bedroom was spacious and spotlessly clean along with the bathroom which had a walk in shower. Although the view from the window was not interesting ,when we are on a "City Break", this is not a priority. The roof terrace has wonderful views... More
