Armagrandi Spina Hotel

The location cant be beat , A nice little hotel that was a great big home once upon a time. The Views from the roff top are great you are a easy walk to the main attractions . Family owned and operated and the staff could'nt do enough for you. The rooms are a little old fashioned but clean. There are two or three suites on the top level not sure how much more they are but they are 1st class.

The hotel is perfectly located for historic places, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Top Kapi palace, it is also very close to Tramway (about 200 m), with a lot of restaurants and cafes in it vicinity. Rooms are clean but small and not very comfortable, staff are polite and responsive but English language is sometimes a problem, we stayed for 7 nights, the breakfast is exactly the same menu each day. it is near Taksim square (down town) and have good trasportation access to all places in Istanbul.

Overall experience was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. They made us feel at home. Area for improvement: Bathrooms can be cleaner. The grout was not cleaned properly. In addition the bathroom shower was broken too.

Les chambres situées au rez de chaussée de l'immeuble donnaient sur la rue. Pas de volets aux fenêtres et pas de rideaux occultant. Il faisait jour la nuit à cause de l'éclairage de la rue. Climatisation si bruyante qu'on ne pouvait dormir. L’hôtel n'a pas été capable de fournir autre chose qu'un couvre lit pour palier l'extinction de la clim. Les chambres sont très petites et mal aménagées. Pas de placard suffisant; La salle de bain était particulièrement exiguë et sans aucun aménagement. Linge de toilette ridiculement insuffisant. Toilettes et canalisations bouchées. Petit déjeuner quelconque avec suppléments pour le café expresso et le jus d'orange. Cet hôtel est au mieux un 2 étoiles; A EVITER ABSOLUMENT

The Armagrandi Spina is right between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia Museum, within walking distance of the Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, metro, and many other tourist attractions. A great location for seeing the city for the first time. Rooms were small but clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Breakfast included a nice variety of Mediterranean salads, breads, fruit, cereal, plus eggs and sausage, coffee, tea, juices. Climb stairs to the top floor where there is a deck with a beautiful 360 degree view of the mosque, museum, the Bosphorous, and Sea of Marmara. Accessible to airport by metro 45 mins with one change, or taxi for about 45 Lyra.

I loved it everything was great will use them again.

I had a good time staying at Armagrinda Spina. The staff is very helpful, the free wifi is a nice treat, and the morning breakfast is also very good. The room I had was very small, but that was expected. Although the property was non-smoking, the room smelled like smoke, which was the primary negative about the property. But in all I had a great visit and will always fondly remember my trip to Istanbul and my stay at the Armagrinda Spina!

The hotel was lovely and in a perfect location for sight-seeing. We were upgraded to a suite which was spacious and comfortable. The staff couldn't have been nicer. All for $125/night with breakfast included.

The hotel is quite new and it is spacious and nicely decorated. The room are also large and comfortable. The swimming pools are beatiful and spacious and the staff is very polite and professional. Overall we had a great experience. The only things that was unpleasant was that the signs for the hotel are not visible and it took us a while to find it. However, it is very close to the board walk.

Very friendly staff and a great location if you plan to discover Istanbul.
