Very nice boutique hotel, close to all the important sites to visit. Our room was lovely, nice and tidy and with a view on the sea and the walls. Very good service - everybody was courteous and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and abundant with a very wide choice. Worth a stay there, and I'd definitely choose this hotel again and... More

The location is ok, you do have to climb up to the top of Sultanahmet to see the sites and then come back down again. We tried to us a taxi but they try and rip you off do the best mode of transport was from the nearby railway station. Breakfast was very good but never leave your plate unattended... More

We held our annual kick off in Istanbul this year - we're a virtual team based in Europe and Africa and only get to see each other once a year. All of us stayed at the Armada (30 in total) and we found the hotel to be great, fantastic location and views (mosques and Bosphorus) - close to the "sights",... More

Spent two nights here back in April (meant to write sooner than this) and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It's a bit of a ways from the airport, but ideally located for visits to the many historical attractions in Istanbul. The rooftop restaurant is pretty good but, if you're so inclined, many, many other places it eat nearby. My five voting... More
