It is close to Sultanahmet Square and is convenient for everything. The hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. The view from the terrace at the breakfast venue was amazing. I would like to stay at this hotel again when I go to Istanbul, and I would definitely recommend it to friends who are going to Istanbul.

I’m so happy, that I picked this hotel! The room was lovely and clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. Everyone was very polite and always around when I needed them. Breakfast was also nice, sitting on the roof top with the beautiful view of the blue mosque and the Hagia Sophia. Would definitely recommend Hotel Saba to everyone, who wants to stay in Istanbul.

Hotel Saba is in a great location. Close to everything. It is nice to be down a side street for less traffic and noise. There is a lot of construction, road repair, etc going around all of Istanbul. It is not noisy, but you must watch where you are walking. Breakfast was good. Nice view from the breakfast room. There is a small lift, so that is helpful with luggage. We had one night where we could hear the people in the next room. That was unfortunate but expected in the older buildings. Istanbul has gotten pretty expensive, Hotel Saba was a good value.

I had an exceptional stay at the hotel. The room and bathroom weren't only clean but I could see care had been taken with decorative finishes. I had issues with getting TV reception but staff were attentive to solve the problem. Breakfasts were a highlight and set me up for the day.The ONLY suggestion I have is maybe visitors could throw towels for washing on the floor rather than have clean ones every day.
