The hotel decor was a little dated, but that was the only complaint. It was on a quiet street, right by all the tourist attractions you'd want without all of the bustle. The staff was incredibly kind. The rooftop bar was really nice. We were unable to make it to the complimentary breakfast.

A blend of the old and the new! Good location in Sultanhamet- close to the major sights but away from hustle of the centre. Near tram stop too and boat pier. Thanks to Merck too on front desk. Lovely roof terrace with amazing views of the blue mosque

The Amanda’s location within the old city walls makes it ideal for visiting the main attractions besides being close to the sea front and promenade.We loved the charms of the 1950’s furnishings and fittings including photographs and other artefacts depicting Istanbul’s history. Our room was extremely comfortable with lovely pristine bedding and beautiful towels. The friendly reception staff gave us great advice about how to see all the sights on our list. We also loved the rooftop terrace where we enjoyed breakfast with a great views of the sea and Blue Mosque - only topped at night when the Blue Mosque is magically transformed by lightning. The evening menu has lots of choice at a reasonable price while the range at breakfast includes a mix of traditional local foods. If we return to Istanbul the Armada Hotel will be our first choice to book.

We had a great stay at the Armada. It's authentically Turkish (as compared to staying in an American-chain hotel). Super close to the top old town sights, Arasta Bazaar (much more manageable than the Grand Bazaar), restaurants and Sea of Marmara. Amazing breakfast spread and top floor views of the water and mosques.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

My first visit to Istanbul and it was quite an eye opener. There are hundreds of tiny hotel/ pension-type places in the tiny back roads of this very busy city. I was lucky in choosing the Amada Hotel as it was a quaint but deceptively big property. My room was adequate with lovely polished floors and traditional style wall coverings. From the window I could look over one of the old city walls to the harbouer beyond. Breakfast was included in the price - buffet style on a lovely roof-topp terrace with a view of the ocean on one side and the amazing blue mosque on the other. Property is walking distance from a light rail station. I found the metro fairly easy to use and probably the best way to and from the airport.

It was nice small cosy hotel tucked away with sea views. Had my room cleaned daily with new towels and bed being made. It was quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was nice and decent to fill you up till lunch time. Constant turkish tea being served during breakfast. The room and bathroom was clean.
