Thank you Armada for making ourt first Turkiye experience a very pleasant one.
Pros:

I like the breakfast spread, having a view of the Marmara sea was spectacular. The location was walking distance to HAgia Sophia and Blue Mosque. Overall, we had an enjoyable and comfortable stay at Armada. We will definitely be back.

Pros:

Miejsce w którym znajduje się hotel. Bliskość do atrakcji . Fajne widoki na cieśninę Bosfor podczas śniadania.

Cons:

Niestety przy otwartym oknie do pokoju dochodził monotonny szum wentylatorów, szczególnie wieczorem kiedy zapadała cisza. Szkoda bo było by niemal idealnie.

Great location in old town Istanbul
Pros:

Great location by the sea, epic views at blue mosque and Hagia Sophia from terrace. Solid breakfast. Can be easily reached from the airport with shuttle bus service- stop is about 10 minutes away walking.

Cons:

The building structure is fairly old, and the acoustics are not good- could hear a lot of noise from the hallway and other rooms at night.

Anbefales!
Pros:

Kjempestort frokostbord med mange spennende retter. Takterrasse med utsikt til Bosporosstredet på den ene siden og rett opp til Den Blå Moské på den andre. Magisk i kveldsmørket! Gangavstand til overnevnte og Hagia Sophia og videre ned i Gamlebyen med marked og restauranter.

Ein schönes älteres Gebäude, mit toller Lage, das super in Schuss gehalten wurde.
Pros:

Die Lage ist ganz hervorragend, nur 5 Min. entfernt von der Hagia Sofia und vom Meer. Frühstücksbüfett toll, sowie auch der Frühstücksraum sehr ansprechend. Das Zimmer war groß mit einem sauberen schönen Bad.
Ein schönes älteres Gebäude, das super in Schuss gehalten wurde.
Sauber, ein guter Geruch im ganzen Haus. Und das Service-Team auch supernett.
