Armada Istanbul Old City Hotel

The hotel is just inside the city walls but traffic is a problem as the pavements are narrow and uneven. It is clean and tidy. The staff are helpful and friendly. Drinks can be expensive. They offered a discount to eat in the restaurant which has a super view of the top of the Blue Mosque and a view of the sea.

Had an amazing experience staying at this hotel. The hotel is centrally located with all tourist places within quick reach. The hotel is beautifully decorated and has a very positive vibe to it. I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Sultanahmet area.

Very friendly staff and great location. If you stay several days you might get bored of the breakfast as it’s always the same thing. A change would be appreciated. The rooms and overall decorations makes you feel like in 1900s with the many authentic items. One feedback to the hotel manager: the turtles in the lobby must have more space and additional rocks. This kind of turtles requires spaces and places to rest. Thanks

4 - star hotel in the middle of old city. The rooms are large and well finished. Breakfast view is top notch with the rooftop restaurant. Only issue with breakfast is keeping birds away with its open nature. Also the staff can be a lot more friendlier especially as we were returning at midnight after three days away from the hotel.

Very much enjoyed my stay at the hotel. My room was very clean, and although basic there were no problems with any of the fixtures aside from VERY spotty wifi (excellent throughout the hotel, terrible in my room). It had tea/ coffee, small safe, bottled water, fridge, TV (some international channels), multiple sockets for plugging in, and a small desk. Bathroom facilities were fine, with clean towels, hairdryer, and in my case, good water pressure for the shower etc. Conference facilities were perfectly good. The highlight of the hotel for me were the rooftop terrace (a very nice view of the water and of the Blue Mosque) and staff. Throughout the hotel everyone was overall very friendly when I asked for assistance, and attentive to me as a customer when I was simply enjoying a drink or something to eat. I've seen other reviews talking about the inconvenient location but I didn't mind the walk into the bustling part of the city at all. Some restaurants can be found nearby, and the waterfront is mere minutes away (although not particularly picturesque at this location.) Although breakfast is serviceable (watch out for the seagulls lest you lose your meal!) the dinner menu is tasty, but (as is usual with many hotels) over-priced and a bit limited in scope.
