We had a great stay at the Armada. It's authentically Turkish (as compared to staying in an American-chain hotel). Super close to the top old town sights, Arasta Bazaar (much more manageable than the Grand Bazaar), restaurants and Sea of Marmara. Amazing breakfast spread and top floor views of the water and mosques.

The location is great because we’re basically a ~10 minute walk from the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, and Hagia Sophia. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean though could use some upgrades. Breakfast was a delight - a beautiful view of the Bosphorus whilst enjoying a Turkish breakfast during sunrise was an amazing experience. Overall, we enjoyed staying at the Armada and would visit again.

This was certainly no 4 star hotel. The rooms were clean but the only aspect going for the hotel was certainly the location. As for the breakfast, it was certainly not the standard that I am used to when it comes to a buffet breakfast. Staff were friendly at reception and allowed for a late checkout and kept our luggage. There is a fish restaurant close to the hotel, avoid at all costs.
