This hotel is 10 mins walk away from the blue mosque, very convenient. The hotel is clean and rooms are nice, the breakfast buffet is simple but lovely. I would say if anyone has mobility issues then look for a hotel closer as the walking might can be steep to the tourist areas unless you’re using taxi. Otherwise the hotel is in a good location and walkable, the metro is also near the blue mosque to get to the other areas like grand bazaar / topkapi/taksim etc. metro is easy to use you can buy a metro card or use your credit card which should be like 40 lira a ride. Also I wouldn’t recommend restaurants around the hotel area as it’s very pricy and does not taste as good. The hotel itself great! And has a sea view at the back which is also a 2 minute walk.

It’s a hotel that is quite run down and I must say a compliments Ru drink should include something a bit more premium than tea, coffee or water… overall it was a 2-star experience and I would not return

Thank you for hosting me Armada Hotel! I had an amazing time visiting Istanbul. The staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast had many variety of options to choose from. It was delightful. The walking distance to restaurants, stores and main tourist attractions were very close between 5-12 minutes walking. I hope to come visit Istanbul again. Thank you so much for your courtesy!

Lovely Hotel!

This is my second stay at the Armada Hotel. I like the Armada Hotel especially Nico at the front desk and the kind staff. They are always friendly and helpful. Breakfast is tasty and plentiful. The area is safe and it’s close to the Bosphorous. Nico gave us an upgrade, which we greatly appreciated. We love the area and we enjoyed visiting some of our favorite restaurants. The only suggestion I would make is for the hotel to offer more movie channels in English. The only English channels on the television are news related. It would be nice to watch some movies in English.
