Conexión wifi con fallos. Por lo demás todo perfecto!

Highly recommend the Armada. The breakfast buffet is fabulous, staff are all very lovely.
Pros:

Beautiful old building, very well-maintained and modern but holding on to its history. A very welcoming and comfortable place to return back to every night after a long day sight-seeing.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Room size is good & specious. There are sufficient rack and bench inside the guest room for use. Location is perfect!

Cons:

Pillows are not comfortable, too soft and too thin! They should change to the healthy ones.
The bathroom, the shower "half" partition is no good because water was easily came out to make the floor wet.

Beautiful, atmospheric hotel in Istanbul
Pros:

Fantastic hotel, lovely atmosphere and great location, close to Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. Staff was super friendly and accommodating, but the best was the hotel atmosphere and decoration. The breakfast was amazing everytime, and with a fantastic view we look forward to every morning!

Cons:

It is a bit of maze to get there, but it is fine once you get used to it.

Pros:

Bella e varia colazione in terrazza (sia interna che esterna) con vista su città e Bosforo (colazione prevalentemente salata). In posizione centrale ma silenziosa. Stanza spaziosa e confortevole.

Cons:

Nulla. L’unico dettaglio che è stata prenotata una stanza matrimoniale ma arrivati ci è stata assegnata volontariamente con letti singoli, pensando che “ci fossimo sbagliati” (?). Poiché in bassa stagione ci è stata cambiata senza problemi.
