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.
