Pros:

Så fint liten hotel, som ligger fantastisk bra. Mohammet gjorte allt för oss vid intjeckning och var den bästa värt. Riktig fin frukost och sitta och äta på rooftop är bara en dröm.

Pros:

Wow! What a great find! I only booked this on the first night of my stay and was delighted. The location is amazing - I could see Sultanahmet square and both Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosques from my room. But going up to the roof terrace was breathtaking- views across the river and 360 across the city and especially the mosques… so beautiful.
The staff were lovely. And the price was great. I will definitely return and have already recommended it to friends.

A decent hotel in the heart of Istanbul!
Pros:

We stayed as a family for 2 nights at the start of our trip to Turkey and 1 night at the end. The hotel is centrally located near the prominent Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, and one of the hotel’s exits will lead right into the action in seconds. The nearest metro station is a few minutes’ walk and just 15 minutes’ walk to the Grand Bazaar.

Serkan at the Front Desk was remarkable and allowed us early check-in. He also offered complimentary refreshments while the room was getting ready. The breakfast is served at the rooftop restaurant with a panoramic view of the world-famous landmarks and the Bosphorus. The breakfast had a good assortment, including scrambled eggs, sausages, cold cuts, etc. I wish the restaurant could add local breakfast items like Menemen, etc., to promote Turkish cuisine and keep rotating the menu to make it interesting for long-stay guests.

The standard room on the lower floor is basic. We were upgraded to a Deluxe Room on the higher floor for the last night, which I presume was refurbished recently and it’s stunning with a modern bathroom and a spacious balcony with mesmerizing views of the famous landmarks.

Alesiya was kind and allowed late check-out. We had dinner at a restaurant Serkan had suggested and the food & ambience were incredible. Arda is a hard-working all-rounder who you can’t miss at the property because he is everywhere – serving at the restaurant, loading/unloading baggage, and room service.

Overall, we had an amazing stay at the Armagrandi Spina Hotel and strongly recommend booking their Deluxe rooms.

Pros:

This is a solid 3 star hotel. The room was recently remodeled and clean. The walls are thin, can hear traffic and other guests. There is only shampoo in the shower, no soap or conditioner. Free large bottle of water. If you are expecting a 4 or 5 star hotel, this isn't for you. We were very happy for a 3 star hotel that was clean and a 3-15 minute walk to a lot of sites. The staff was very friendly.

狭いホテルだが、観光には便利でスタッフも素晴らしい。
Pros:

青のモスクやTokpaki宮殿のすぐそばで観光には便利。朝食は6FのルーフトップなのでViewを楽しめる。ただ、海側の建物はあまり美しくない。朝食もシンプルなもの。部屋も狭く、ベッドの幅も驚くほど狭い。ただ、スタッフはとても親切で、気持ちよく滞在することができた。

Don’t book
Pros:

Do not book this hotel we booked this hotel for the 20th September 2024, because we were arriving early morning on the 21st and wanted to get a few hours sleep before we went site seeing, on arriving at the hotel there was a lot of shaking heads and strange looks, the so called premium room that we were giving was two single beds shoved together one was at least six inch higher no place to hang clothes and the wooden floor had gaps all over, when asked if we could get another room we were informed that the hotel was full, when we said we were leaving we were told you can’t leave you stayed last night and the room was ok, this is when we realised that they had given our room away no money back just about had to fight to leave shocking treatment, I have stayed all over in turkey never had an experience like it .

Perfect location. Close to Hagai Sophia & Blue Mosque. Good service from staff. Excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed. Only problem is that the bath tub is quite high and hard to get out of. I highly recommend this hotel.

Pros:

Excellent stay, convenient location walkable to Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Arasta Bazaar and lots of shops/restaurants. Grand Bazaar was 16 mins walk away. We would explore the city and come back in the afternoon to rest as it was so nearby. Great views from the breakfast terrace and staff very friendly. Only downsides were it was a bit noisy from the street outside and the prayer calls from the mosques, breakfast was same everyday and not enough cupboard space in the room. But I would happily stay again for the location and convenience

Lage gut, rest mittel, Kosten für Parken höher
Pros:

Hotel war ok, Parkplatz zwar hinterm Hotel, aber dauerte ca. 30 min bis wir da waren. 25 Euro für 40 Stunden entsprach nicht den Angaben des Hotels. Dazu 3% Gebühr bei Kreditkartenzahlung und ein mieses Frühstück. Preis Leistung passten aus unserer Sicht nicht. Lage ist super.
