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.

Great staff and comfortable room.
Nice friendly helpful greeting for two travel weary, jet lagged people made for a more comfortable late night check in. Nice room overlooking the water although silly shower design resulted in all towels getting soaked (tired travellers part of problem) lovely rooftop dinner with friendly waiters and same place for continental breakfast again with views and sun.
Early morning view from our room.
Dozens of fishermen on the water and along the wonderful waterfront walkway
Arched gate to the hotel.

Here's a more polished version of your review: I've visited Istanbul around six times, and this is the first time I've truly enjoyed my hotel stay. The view and surrounding area were incredibly relaxing, creating the perfect atmosphere for unwinding. The breakfast was diverse and delicious, with plenty of options to suit every taste. Overall, my stay was wonderful, and I look forward to returning

Our stay was great. The staff were very friendly and even helped us with our beginner’s level Turkish. Hospitality couldn’t be better. Our rooms were comfortable though we did have a little difficulty with the air conditioning. It was sorted out and the room was cool. Beautiful terrace views! Görüşürüz!
