"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"
