Here's a more polished version of your review: I've visited Istanbul around six times, and this is the first time I've truly enjoyed my hotel stay. The view and surrounding area were incredibly relaxing, creating the perfect atmosphere for unwinding. The breakfast was diverse and delicious, with plenty of options to suit every taste. Overall, my stay was wonderful, and I look forward to returning

The Armada hotel was the best choice for us. There are plenty of options around, but after waking through the area for over a week, time and time again we were proud of our choice. The service was excellent, Nico and mahya we're absolutely amazing and on top of delivering the best service. The location was great, it was just behind the wall of the old city, a 2 minute walk to the boardwalk to walk along the Bosphorus. The breakfast was suffice, the rooms were simple, clean and totally effective for our stay. We stayed 9 days. It's perfect for solo travelers, couples and families. Highly recommend.

The location in walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi Castle, Cistern Basilica etc was what initially drew our attention to Armada Old City. The bonus is that the hotel is clean and quiet and very comfortable, and the staff were great. Highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent Hotel!
I enjoyed the hotel so much I decided to extend my stay for a couple more days. Maya is an absolute amazing hostess. She was very kind, very knowledgeable, very pleasant and super sweet. In fact, the staff is very kind and hopeful. The breakfast buffet was spectacular, the room was clean and comfortable. There was a young guy who delivered coffee and tea to my room every day, and he was very kind as well. Nico, Ozan and Ali were also very helpful and kind. I love this hotel. The location is excellent.

Bosphorus one side, Blue Mosque the other!
Great "old city" location. Easy uphill walk to the major Sultanahmet sites and many restaurants (each with a tout inviting you in!!). The room was very cute and clean. I do warn that my room did not have electricity directly at the bedside (other rooms may have it), but the hotel was able to provide an inobtrusive extension cord that solved the problem well. My room was in the back and looked up to the Blue Mosque...so exciting. Rooms on the other side would see the busy Bosphorus entrance. The Terrace restaurant breakfast was among the best I've ever had anywhere, with an outstanding view. Too extensive to detail, but high points for me were fresh breads, quiche, honey, yogurt, juices, and very decent coffee. I would absolutely stay here again.
