Great locations near mosques and museums
The hotel is old but recently renovated, rooms very comfortable, great location walking distance to many attractions. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lots of choices for a healthy and tasty breakfast on roof terrace with great view. Quiet, but in my room the curtains could not block the very strong streetlight outside my window which. made it hard for me to sleep

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.

Perfect location, very clean, attractive lobby, tasty breakfast and amazing staff! A bit hard to get to because of the narrow streets of the Old Town but they provide parking for 10 euro. Very satisfied, will come again!

A very nice hotel next to major attractions, with gorgeous view from the terrace where delicious breakfast is served. The staff is friendly, they can help with booking excursions or a shuttle from/to airport. Stayed there twice already. Looking forward to coming back again.

Perfect location for seeing land marks and Islamic sacred artefacts. There were frequent power outages due to the heat and load shedding which was annoying and difficult in the 40C heat. Omar, Mustafa and Jaan were very helpful.

The location of the hotel was very convenient as it is only 3-4 minute walk to the blue mosque and you can walk to most places. Daily housekeeping was very good and the towels were changed daily. Staff were generally pleasant and helpful. Laundry service was fast. Breakfast was nice especially the scrambled eggs and fresh omelettes. My only criticism was that there was no trash can in the room (only a bathroom bin which was small). Also one night we had aggressive knocking on our door for no reason, presumably from some drunk guests, which made us feel unsafe. On the whole, we were happy with the room which was comfortable.

Really poor hotel in a very good spot. Close to everything. Too bad it is run down and poorly managed. Parking is a nightmare - if you're lucky you might find a spot behind the hotel but do not count on it.
Breakfast was the worst we had in 2 weeks of staying in a dozen different hotels all over the country.
The price was cheap, about $80 per night, but the conditions were barely above hostel level.

Wonderful location!! The blue mosque and Hagia Sophia are both a stones throw away!! Grand bazaar is about a 20 minute walk which is not too bad if you like to walk! (It is a bit of a hill). Train stations are also within 5 minute walk as well!
They are fairly clean! Their housekeepers cleaned our room really well!! And the A/C is strong and cold for after the long days! Wifi is good, signal isn’t great, so it’s not good for people that need to work while vacationing. (It might depend on which room you get, we were on the 1st floor). The breakfast wasn’t too bad, very basic breakfast but it is filling!! And the view cannot be beat!
One of the down side is that the cigarette smell permeates into the room intensely and it lingers sometimes. Nothing we could have done unfortunately because opening the window would make it worse. We didn’t think of complaining because it would go away at times. Growing up, my dad and sister are highly asthmatic (they weren’t with us) so I also grew up being sensitive to it as well so I could really notice them. If this is like you, this may not be a hotel for you. The room we book was a non smoking room but it didn’t matter.
In saying all of that, I do still recommend this hotel simply for its location!!!
