"Excellent customer service"

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"Very central, great location for walking to the attractions Hotel was nice, staff friendly but we were originally put in room 201 which was really small. The other couple in our party room was so much bigger so we asked to get changed as we paid the same. They couldn’t do that on the 1st night but they changed us the following day which made such a difference. Breakfast a bit basic, could be better."

"The Armada was a surprisingly good value for the cost. The room was really fine and had everything I needed, though it might have been a little spartan. Where the hotel shined was in other areas. The location was super, walking distance to a number of sights and activities.the neighbor the hotel was in offered a lot of amenities,good local restaurants and had a way less touristy feel. The comp breakfast was excellent and the rooftop dinner area for breakfast was special. That area became a bar at night and was a very pleasant place to end the day., views were awesome. I have stayed in some grand hotels in Istanbul that were really top notch but would recommend the Armada highly for a quality stay at a reasonable price"
