    rooftop terrace
    delicious breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    I loved lounging by the rooftop terrace while enjoying the stunning views and indulging in the delicious breakfast spread. The hotel offered great relaxation spots, like the cozy lounge area and the well-maintained garden. The only downside was the slightly noisy air conditioning unit, but it didn't ruin my overall experience at all. 😊

    I truly enjoyed my stay at Armada Istanbul Old City! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The highlight for me was the breathtaking view from the rooftop of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. However, the breakfast options could be a bit more varied during an extended stay. Overall, a lovely experience!

    A Wonderful Stay in the Heart of Istanbul

    We truly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast offered a delightful selection to start our day. The restaurant served fantastic local dishes for dinner. Just a tip, it can get a bit noisy on weekends, so consider earplugs for better sleep. Overall, a lovely experience!

    Waking up within the ancient city walls was truly enchanting, and having the Blue Mosque just a short stroll away made morning walks unforgettable. I also loved the fantastic breakfast buffet that offered a great start to my adventurous days.

    spectacular buffet
    dismissive staff
    ignored requests

    The breakfast buffet was spectacular.

    During my stay, I faced several frustrating issues with the staff. They were unhelpful and dismissive, making the experience quite unpleasant. For example, when I needed assistance with my luggage, the staff ignored my requests multiple times, which was incredibly irritating.

    comfortable space
    wet bedsheets
    small room

    The room was clean and cozy, with high-quality bedding that made for a great night's sleep. The decor was cute, giving a nice vibe, but it was a bit on the small side. Overall, comfort-wise, it hit the mark, though I had an issue with wet bedsheets after cleaning that was a bit of a hassle. The air conditioning worked well, which helped.

    ideal location
    delicious breakfast
    cobblestone challenges
    luggage difficulties
    accessibility issues

    The location is ideal for exploring key attractions, just a pleasant 10-minute walk to the main sights. Breakfast on the terrace features a delightful variety of yogurts and other local delicacies, complemented by stunning views of local landmarks. The staff are genuinely friendly and went above and beyond, preparing an early breakfast for our departure. However, be prepared for cobblestone streets which can be difficult with wheeled luggage and may present challenges for those with mobility issues.
