Saba Hotel in Istanbul

Fantastic little hotel, literally steps away from the mosques area, we were only there for a night sadly but we would definitely stay again! Very clean, very comfortable, the roof top area with amazing views was available for guests to use in the daytime and evening and a great buffet breakfast was available there too. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to leave our luggage while we explored in the morning.

Great hotel! They cleaned the room every day and changed the towels daily too. Breakfast was decent – omelets, sausages, snacks, vegetables, and fruit.

Our room was super cool! It was the only one on the floor, and the view was insane!!! We were absolutely thrilled.

However, it was quite cold in the room, but the air conditioning helped with that. On the plus side, sleeping in such fresh air was great.

Also, in the morning, we could hear sounds from the dining room, which was right outside our door. But hey, it meant we didn't have to go far for food 😹 You just step out of your room, eat, and in two steps, you're back in your room!

Oh, and you should also be prepared for the morning calls from the minarets in Istanbul... And since this is the oldest district, you can hear them very clearly here.

The Saba 3* Hotel has an ideal location in the Sultanahmet district, 200 meters from the Blue Mosque 🔥. There's a tram stop nearby (the most convenient form of transportation). The Grand Bazaar is a 10-minute walk up the street, and the Galata Bridge and the piers where cruise ships depart are a 15-minute walk or tram ride away. There are tons of cafes and shops nearby—the location is simply perfect 🔥!!!
The hotel is small and clean. The rooms are small but very cozy.
The main reason I chose this hotel was the open-air breakfast veranda with views of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Sea of ​​Marmara 🥰!
The breakfasts are simple, but delicious and filling!
I 100% recommend this hotel 👍!!!
My suggestion for the hotel is to add towel hooks in the bathroom!!!

Very convenient location. Right in the city center. The rooms are cleaned daily. The breakfasts are standard and delicious. The view from the terrace is simply amazing 👍🏻

This isn't our first time in Istanbul and we've always stayed in the historic part. This was our first time at this hotel and we were very pleased. The location is excellent, with a stunning view of the Blue Mosque at breakfast. The rooms are clean and spacious. Everything you need is provided: toiletries, towels, and slippers. We didn't even have time to use everything before they were already replaced with clean ones. Cleaning is daily. The breakfasts are delicious, not particularly varied, but you won't leave hungry. The chef makes omelets upon request, and there are hot and cold appetizers. Fruits include tangerines and apples. There are also sweets for tea: cookies, muffins, jams, preserves, and honey. The staff doesn't speak Russian (the only downside), but even if they couldn't explain themselves in English, everyone uses online translators. I'd especially like to mention the superb collection of teapots in the hotel lobby; you could get lost for half an hour taking it all in. Overall, we're happy and would definitely recommend this hotel to our friends.

Improve room ambiance and mattresses

Although this hotel is an old hotel but we like it because: 1. the location of this hotel is very strategic, it only takes 5 -10 minutes to hagia sophia 2. the staff is friendly and helpful 3. good food and many choices 4. we really like the rooftop restaurant where the view is very super, there is a Mediterranean sea, blue mosque and hagia sophia 5. the bathroom is clean and elegant 6. there are many restaurants and mini markets near the hotel. one drawback is that the hotel lobby needs to be renovated to be more lively and fun. overall very good and if we go to Istanbul again, I want to stay at this hotel again.

The location of the hotel is excellent, very close to the Blue Mosque, and tramva station

The staff were helpful, especially the kitchen ladies who prepared a fantastic breakfast—my favorite was the aubergine!

The room was clean, and I was impressed by the towels, hair dryer, and slippers provided, which exceeded expectations for the price I paid.

The only downside was the television—I couldn’t watch any channels as they were all in Turkish. It would be perfect if they added international channels or a smart TV that allows device connectivity.
