Armagrandi Spina Hotel - Special Class

Far from public transport for airport transfer

I liked the location, the staff was super nice especially the 2 girls we met at the breakfast buffet The room are tiny. And we ask to fix the fan in a bathroom but they didn’t fix it

We stayed at Armagrandi Hotel as two families—my parents and my husband and I.
I can’t say enough good things about it. The location is PRIME. If you want to live with a view of Hagia Sofia and the Sultanahmet Blue Mosque, this is your place. The hotel is right on the front line facing the two landmarks and has a 6th-floor terrace available at any time, and NOT CROWDED like the terraces of buildings in the same line. Nearby restaurants will be calling you to visit and see the view from their terraces—you won’t need to be part of the zoo of people to take a gorgeous picture with Hagia Sofia or the Blue Mosque. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are right there outside. You’ll walk past them every day of your stay. Landmarks like Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, the Grand Bazaar, and the tram station are all within a short walking distance. For me, this was crucial—my mom has a leg injury, and I wanted her to enjoy the beauty of the pearls of Istanbul, avoiding unnecessary long walks before reaching the landmarks. It worked perfectly! You just need to walk out of the hotel—here they are! The views from my room were of the Blue Mosque, and from my parents’ room—of the colorful brick street with beautiful shops, stores, and restaurants. Both were beautiful. There is also a local bazaar there—if you need last-minute gift shopping or your suitcase breaks an hour before moving out (like ours did!), there’s a bazaar where you can find basically anything. Second, I’d like to express my appreciation to the hotel staff. First, cleanliness—the rooms were cleaned, beds were made, and all towels were replaced every morning, and when you return, the room smells clean and new slippers are waiting for you. Second, the front desk—they helped us arrange anything we needed. Make a local call to speak with someone in Turkish? They are ready to help.

Amazing location with super friendly staff. Khalil was very helpful when we arrived. Great breakfast!

Close to all historical sites, lovely terrace with a great view, excellent breakfast and helpful , conscientious staff ( shout out to Ayberk)! Nothing really.

Cozy and clean … breakfast was good with a lot of varieties.. the most thing i love about the place is the location and

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. THE LOCATION THE STAFF . THE SUPER CONFOTABLE BED. RICH BREAKFAST.... EVERYTHING

The young ladies at breakfast were kind and enthusiastic. They were the best part of the hotel. They helped my little grandson feed the seagulls and they brought him pancakes and hot chocolate. The hotel had an excellent location. The first room (#401) was awful. Damaged, not clean. I got terrible allergies there. The manager kindly moved me to a better room, #301. The rooms were very unattractive and just not very nice. The young man at the front desk refused to help us find a Bosphorous cruise, insisting we could only go on the rip-off tourist cruise where he probably would get a commission. It was just a very ugly and plain hotel. There was an adjoining locked door to another room and you could hear everything. I got woken up in the middle of the night. The breakfast food was terrible. Don't recommend this hotel.

The breakfast was adequate but mediocre.

Great location, very nice staff We’ve got two rooms as a family. Not at all so great as on pictures. We would rate the interior as two stars. The room that was supposed to be bigger (and it was more expensive) was small with no space for suitcases. In the other room the handle of the restroom was broke, the entrance to the shower was dangerously narrow and uncomfortable. There wasn’t shampoo and soap bottles as the hotels with this rate usually have. The smell in the room was pretty bad. We still liked the service and especially the staff in the breakfast room- nice and kind.

Excellent friendly service from all employees Everything was good

Close to main attractions Room floor was warped, elevator that was always breaking down and breakfast area was filthy

Next to Blue Mosque & Hagia Sophia Mosque All good

It was so well situated, and we had a verandah where we sat overlooking the mosques. We enjoyed the old city feel and even being woken at 5am by the mosques' loudspeakers called everyone to prayer!! The staff were so friendly and helpful - in particular Ibert (spelling) who could not have been more welcoming and organised our Turkish Bath and transport, and answered all our queries.

Its location - they were a short, 2 minute walk to the main plaza for the Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque. The staff was incredibly friendly & helpful, especially Ahmed, at the front desk. Their breakfast was exceptional and the views from their rooftop were beautiful, especially at sunset and evening. The safe in our room wasn’t working properly and the staff member was unable to get it to work.

I Don t have anything to complain about it.

Room was everyday cleaned, perfect location!

Location, cleanliness, and helpfulness from the staff were the main elements of this hotel that really stood out. The hotel stands in the middle of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. It's is literally a couple of minutes away from these attractions. The staff were so welcoming, particularly Serken, who truly was exceptional. My room was spacious, I was in a family connected room, which had 2 rooms that were connected via a door. Each room had its own en suite. My parents had a gorgeous deluxe room on the 5th floor with stunning views from their balcony of the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. Rhe room was stunning with its own walk-in wardrobe and seating area. The rooftop breakfast saw breathtaking views, too! Breakfast is a buffet of standard turkish items - a variety of bread, pastries, scrambled eggs, sausage, different cheeses, and condiments. There was always freshly baked cake, too! Nothing

Great place and location right in the center of Istanbul. Helpful and great staffs! Had a great stay!

Superb
