OVERALL, I WAS SATISFIED
Pros:

CLEAN, COMFORTABLE PLACE WITH A RUSTIC VIBE—EVERYTHING IS FINE EXCEPT FOR THE MEAL. THE MEAL DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY KIND OF MEAT. JUST CHEESE AND EGGS. THE MENU IS A BIT LIMITED

Cons:

A MORE VARIED MENU IS NECESSARY

Location is the number one criteria for the Armada, plus secure parking for our motorcycles
Pros:

Let's be honest, not the fanciest hotel but it makes up for charm and location. This is the second time we actually stayed at Armada and we will stay there on our next trip to IST.

Cons:

The English knowledge of the staff at breakfast is very basic. But we managed to communicate.
