My stay at Armagrandi Spina Hotel was mostly wonderful, especially thanks to its unbeatable location right next to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. While the rooms were a bit compact and showed some wear, the overall cleanliness and fantastic staff made up for it. The breakfast was delicious but a little repetitive. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and wouldn't hesitate to return.

I found my stay at Armagrandi Spina Hotel quite average. The location, just a stone's throw from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, is fantastic. However, the breakfast options were not very appealing and could use improvement. While I appreciated the kind service from Mustafa, I did feel the rooms were cramped and in need of some updating.

I had a pleasant stay at Armagrandi Spina Hotel, primarily due to its fantastic location and the attentive service from staff members like Serhat and Mustafa. The rooms had beautiful views of both the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus, although I found them a bit cramped. The breakfast options were somewhat limited, but I enjoyed the overall experience and am eager to return.

Facilities such as laundry and airport shuttle services were handy, although I missed having in-house room service as items took longer to arrive from a third-party provider.

I had a pleasant stay at Armagrandi Spina Hotel, enjoying a well-maintained room and exquisite rooftop breakfasts. The location, just minutes from iconic attractions like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, was unbeatable. However, some minor noise from the call to prayer early in the morning and construction work affected my sleep quality. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel for its charm and cleanliness.

However, I did encounter some issues with the room, such as leaking showers and cleanliness, which dampened my overall experience.
