We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. However, the washroom was a bit small especially showering area. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome from the moment we checked in. We also loved the location—it is within easy walking distance of local restaurants and public transit. Also they had booked us a reliable taxi for airport on a reasonable price. The breakfast buffet had a great variety of fresh options to choose from. I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again!

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The reception staff were very kind, friendly, and always willing to help. My room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made my stay enjoyable.

There were only a couple of small issues. The toilet paper was very poor quality, and the TV did not work. I informed the receptionist, who kindly tried restarting it, but unfortunately it still didn’t work.

The hotel’s location is convenient, with many restaurants and shops nearby. However, I recommend being very careful when shopping in the area. At one shop, a Kurdish man charged me 1,800 TL for two lemons and a small bag of ice. When I spoke to him in Turkish, he immediately reduced the price to 800 TL, which made me feel that tourists were being overcharged. At another nearby shop, I was quoted 600 TL for about half a kilogram of cherries, while I later bought one kilogram elsewhere for only 80 TL.

Overall, I would happily stay at this hotel again because the staff were excellent and the room was clean and comfortable. My only advice to future guests is to avoid buying groceries from the shops immediately around the hotel and compare prices elsewhere.

We just wanted to share how absolutely thrilled we were with our recent stay! First off, the location was simply perfect – we practically tumbled out of bed and into the heart of everything. Being able to stroll to all the cool spots, discover amazing eateries around every corner, and hop on any transport with such ease really made our adventures effortless.

And our room? Wow, what a lovely surprise! It was far more spacious than we expected, sparkling clean, and had such a wonderfully cozy vibe. It truly felt like a little haven to unwind in after long days of sightseeing, making us feel completely at home.

Waking up each morning to that breakfast spread was an absolute treat! The variety of delicious options was incredible; there was always something new and tasty to try, setting us up perfectly for another day of exploration.

But we have to give a huge shout-out to Omer at the front desk. He was an absolute gem! So genuinely friendly and went above and beyond with his recommendations, sharing all the best local insights. He honestly made our trip even more special! Oh, and the airport shuttle service was super smooth and brilliantly organized – a real bonus!

Seriously, we had such a fantastic time and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a superb experience

Great location, very clean rooms, breakfast was fine though mostly unknown dishes.

Big issue was inadequate AC, and no real effort by the staff to fix it. We had to change from our paid extra view room, to a non view room with only marginal AC. Rooms are very small.

Lots of places to eat near the hotel, really enjoyed the food and outdoor dining at the Rainbow Fish down the street.

Not too bad an uphill walk to the major sites. Lots of vendors attempting to get your business by chatting with you, but they all bowed out eventually in a pleasant enough way.

T1 tram is up by the Blue Mosque, and it is about $1 (42 Lira) per ride, regardless of the number of stops. You can get a re-loadable card, or pay a little more and just use your charge card when you get to the turnstile.

Staff were very helpful at the time of check-in and assisted me with all my enquiries. Special thanks to Mr Ismail, for all his assistance, kindness and professionalism. The hotel is a hidden germ because it is located on a culde-sac, so there is almost no traffic or way less passing by and fairly more quite and tranquil when you need to rest especially in Istanbul and yet in close proximity to all tourists attractions. It also serves a large variety of Turkish delicacies for breakfast. I have enjoyed my stay there and am planning to stay again prior to my departure from Istanbul. I am grateful for the experience and service.

I’m not usually someone who writes reviews—or even remembers to—but after our trip last November, I realized I had put this off for far too long because Hotel Saba truly deserves the recognition.

From the very beginning, the experience was exceptional. Prior to our arrival, the staff kindly offered a shuttle service to pick my mom and me up after we landed past 1am, which immediately put us at ease. When we arrived, we were greeted with such genuine warmth. Ismail and Omar, in particular, were outstanding—both incredibly kind, professional, and always going the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. Their hospitality made a lasting impression on us.

The rooms were charming, spotless, and well-maintained—even my mom, who is extremely particular about cleanliness, was impressed. The beds were also very comfortable. Breakfast each morning was another highlight, with a great variety of fresh and delicious options to choose from.

And the location was simply perfect—convenient and ideal for exploring.

Overall, my mom and I were so happy with our stay that we still find ourselves talking about this charming hotel and its wonderful staff. We absolutely recommend Hotel Saba, and a special thank you again to Ismail and Omar for making our stay so memorable.

We had a lovely stay here. We booked for the experience of \"old school charm\" and that's definitely what we got. Clean, warm and welcoming, the staff were so helpful. Our room with a view of the Bosphorus was all that we needed, firm bed which we like and so quiet we slept great. Breakfast was plentiful, enough to get you going for the day. The location is surrounded with shops and restaurants and is perfect for visiting the sites in Sultanahmet area but maybe a bit far from other areas. Although the transit is not far at all we did manage to walk to absolutely everything we wanted to see in all areas of Istanbul. If you're looking for new, modern and huge hearty breakfast this is not the place, but if you're looking for a hot shower and a quiet, clean place to rest up after a long days adventure, this is it.

We had a nice stay here, although the the location is great for seeing Sultanahmet / Eminonu area it is a bit far from everything else. Saying that though, we have no ailments against our health and we did walk to absolutely everything we wanted to see. As well, the transit is not too far. Tons of restaurants and shops right outside the door. If you're just looking for a quiet place to sleep with a hot shower, this is it. Nothing fancy and outdated but kept tidy and clean. Breakfast was plentiful to get you going in the morning, staff are friendly and welcoming.

Clean room, WiFi was good. Arasta Bazaar is very close. Lot of Turkish dining options. Blue mosque and Hagia Sophia are walkable. Public transport is easily accessible.
I found the room a little congested and the furniture dated. The room had clear sea view but the rest of the view wasn’t scenic

Outstanding location, walking distance from Haghia Sophia & Blue Mosque. Staff are friendly and accomodating.

On the minus side: breakfast’s underwhelming, buffet selection isn’t great and it didn’t get restocked. Expedia mentions bathroom slippers and there were none. Walls are EXTREMELY thin and rooms arent soundproof. You will likely hear everything going on outside your room at any given time.

TDLR It’s a decent hotel with a great location but it’s not worth the money.

The location of this hotel is extremely convenient—major historic landmarks such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace are all just a five‑minute walk away. The hotel is very clean, and the room was excellent. I stayed in a sea‑view room, and the view was absolutely amazing. Breakfast was fantastic as well.
The front desk staff—Omer, Ismail, and Efa—were incredibly helpful. A special thanks to Omer, who assisted us in planning our daily tours; he was truly outstanding. I highly recommend this hotel—you simply can’t go wrong staying here. I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit.

I read all the wonderful reviews and wonder if we were staying at the same hotel. We found the rooms small which could have been overcome with better design and decor. Although we had a sea view we couldn’t get to the window due to the heavy furniture in front of it. The hotel truly needs an update. My bed smelled like cigarette smoke as did the lobby. The staff in the kitchen were unfriendly and we found the food rather boring after a few days. The location was perfect though. For the money we paid there are better options.

Hotel is really close to the Hagia Sofia.
Best unique feature was the terrace on the roof. It was an amazing experience to watch the sunrise over Bosphoros drinking tea on the terrace.
Food options are abundant, in a block distance.
Compared to the surrounding streets, this one id on a quiet one.
Breakfast was good. We stayed two nights, and it was great value for the money.

The room was well appointed and had nice touches like heated floors near the toilet. The beds were very comfortable, the whole hotel was very well maintained and clean. The staff was lovely from the sweet maids to the excellent and attentive front desk attendant. The breakfast room was open all hours for coffee, teas or refilling your water bottle which was nice and convenient. The terrace on the roof has a beautiful view of the water and the ships passing. The area feels super safe, well lit with tons of other boutique hotels, shops, cafes and restaurants with people strolling around at night taking in all the colors, sights and delicious smells. Excellent value for the price!

Buffet breakfast had a good variety of foods and juice. The room and bath were clean and ver comfortable. The hotel was convenient for walking to historic sites and several restaurants are nearby. The only downside is that it is amongst small streets and a bit hard for taxis. Definitely gracious staff.

Great staff - very courteous and went out of their way to be helpful. The room was surprisingly spacious and was very clean. The breakfast was very much a traditional Turkish breakfast. Instead of sloping scrambled eggs and beans in a tin, these were proper eggs with spices, different yogurts and cheeses, local breakfast meats and teas. And, of course, the location is outstanding - just a few minutes walk to Sultanahmet Camii (the Blue Mosque). The hotel also arranged for a cab to take us to the airport for a flat rate of 40 Euros. We ended up paying extra to take the toll road because traffic was so bad, so ended up being 50 Euros total for a 50 minute ride to Istanbul Airport. We would happily stay here again.

Lamentablemente no recomiendo este hotel. La persona que limpia la habitacion tiró a la basura una bolsa donde venia recolectando papeles y recuerdos de mi recorrido por Estambul. Eran postales, tickets, entradas, envoltorios, mapas. Lo tenia sobre la mesa dentro de una bolsa. No entiendo porque, ella entendió que eso era basura (cuando no estaba en el piso ni en el tacho de basura, estaba sobre la mesa). Tenia cosas importantes y recuerdos que perdi para siempre.
Me enojó y entristeció muchisimo la situación. Cuando le fui a decir a la persona de limpieza lo que habia hecho, me lo negó rotundamente, lo cual agravó el problema.

La cama incómoda porque usan un acolchado corto y angosto que no tapa.

El desayuno probre. Era un desayuno turco con algunas cosas occidentales. Si no te gusta comer verdura a la mañana, está complicado.
No tenia variedad de fruta.
Lo unico bueno es que te preparaban huevos revueltos a pedido y el café era rico

La ubicacion del hotel, bien cerca de las mesquitas
No volveria por esta razon: que hayan tocado mis cosas y me hayan tirado a la basura algo importante. Agradezco que no tenia documentacion importante ahi dentro...

Very charming Turkish hotel. Excellent location, good breakfast and safe tourist-friendly location. About 1 hr 15 minutes from the airport. Front desk people's English can be better. Had miscommunication about my airport transfer - I though the transfer was paid and scheduled, but turned out the front desk person did not understand me. So, double check your taxi's scheduled! Otheriwise would stay again.
