Armagrandi Spina Hotel-Special Category

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!

We had a very good experience. Although I only stayed one night, Khalil (I hope I’m spelling it right) helped us very much. Always in active communication with us through WhatsApp and booking app. I was traveling with my mom on a wheelchair and he was very polite helping us finding the wheelchair entrance and driving her to the room door. Everything was clean and perfect for our needs. They were very helpful. And the breakfast on the rooftop with those amazing views were the cherry on the top. Thank you.

The location is laterally next to the Blue Mosque and to Aya Sofia. And the roof top breakfast, with view at both the 2 mosques and to the Bosforus straight was worth it all. Breakfast was ok, room was nice, though small.

The location is excellent. All historical sites are located within a close distance from the hotel. Also shopping centres like Istanbul bazaar and Galataport are very close. Restaurants and groceries are also within walking distances. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The ones at the reception are all wonderful people. It’s unfortunate that I don’t know their names except for Khalil, there the wonderful lady at the reception and the other man. They are all great.

My Parents had stayed at this hotel seven years ago and highly recommended this hotel due to the quality customer service, facilities it offered and its proximity within the SultanAhmet zone. I have to say I was not disappointed at all, but infact blown away by the high standards this hotel maintained , and also bonus point , how close this hotel was to blue mosque and aya sofia . The staff were quite proactive and very knowledgeable with respect to making our holiday experience excellent , they did this through sharing good insight into relevant tourism spots, and also helpful with logistics to get there. My Wife and I found the breakfast superb, good healthy range of choices, and also nice cakes with coffee to spoil our selves. The staff most importantly were very accommodating and listened to our needs, and reflected accordingly. The hotel management staff including helping staff made our stay extremely comfortable and would definitely come to stay here again.
