    We would have liked more pillows in the room. Also it was slightly noisy as we could hear other people from neighbouring flats on calls or chatting on their balconies. Finally the entrance doors to all rooms make a really loud sound when they slam and we would wake up several times in the morning when people from other rooms would leave for breakfast.

    The location was amazing, so convenient to explore the city! The view from the breakfast bar was great too with many savoury and sweet options for breakfast. Staff were kind and willing to help at all times. Great value for money overall!

    The location of the hotel was perfect. It was very close to the Blue Mosque, Agia Sofia, and Top Kapi. Also, the breakfast was very tasty with many different options and a perfect view. The staff of the hotel was very polite and helpful. Highly recommended!

    You have to climb a few steps to get from the sidewalk to the reception area and also the elevator didn't go all the way to the rooftop which is where the breakfast area is located (but the view from up there was great)

    Love the location - Very near to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. The nearest tram stop is also around 5 minutes away which makes it very convenient. We were given a room facing the ocean and the Blue Mosque. What a fantastic view it was and it was quite spacious too

    We were there at a time of year when it wasn't cold but it wasn't hot enough for AC. So, the room was very warm but when we opened the windows/doors to cool off it was so noisy that we had trouble sleeping. It was not a dealbreaker though, just an inconvenience.

    The location was amazing! it's the number one reason to choose this hotel!!! We easily walked to the most famous historical sites in the neighborhood and there were plenty of cafes and restaurants as well. It was also pretty close to public transportation. The breakfast was great and it had a variety of options. It's served on the room so there is also a great view of the historical sites as well as great food.

    Saba Hotel Super clean, easy to reach, comfortable and with a very helpfull staff hotel The reservation process was uncomplicated, and the staff were ready to answer any questions or information prior to our arrival. Getting there: the hotel is both by car or train easy to reach. There is a train station close to it which allows an easy access from both airports. We arrived on the asian side and got to the hotel in about an hour. Hotel location: the hotel is in the old town and close to all the major tourist attractions like the Blue Mosque (5 minutes on foot), the Raqia Sofia ( 10 minutes on foot) and the Grand Bazaar ( 20 minutes on foot). If you get there by taxi from the airport ( about 30€) and you don't have too much luggage or any mobility impediments, then ask your driver to leave you in the bottom of the street, as the streets in the old town are too too narrow and depending on the time of the day jammed with cars. Checking in: upon arrival we found a cozy and well decorated lobby with a friendly and helpful gentleman, who took care of our luggage and helped my mother up the entrance stairs ( about 5 steps). They have an elevator to the upper levels. They speak many languages like English, German, Portugueses, Spanisch....... The check in procedure was pleasant and overall we had an excellent experience with all the staff members at the reception desk and in the breakfast section. Services at the reception desk: they offer everything you need to have an enjoyable experience. They offer a cheap travel SIM card from 7-14 days. They organize all the tours from the hop on hoppy off bus to river cruises, and they arranged for us to be picked up from and brought back to the hotel. Everything can be paid in Euros or Dollars. They give you all the tips and tricks you need to get around the city and avoid being ripped off by scammers. Breakfast: the breakfast fast area is at the top of the building with a great view of the Blue Mosque and the Raqia Sofia.

    Quiet (barring the call to prayer) but very central near Blue Mosque and lots of restaurants and shops, a short walk from tram. Friendly helpful staff, booked us a cheap taxi to airport and boat trip. Lovely breakfast in rooftop cafe.

    Excellent!! The best hotel someone could choose for a short(or longer of course) stay in Istanbul! Amazing location(few steps away from the Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern). As for the room, we got a free update, that is a room with view(hayat) on Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, that was marvellous! Friendly staff, very good breakfast, very convenient transport service to the airport! Thank you very much! Best of the best! Teşekkür ederim!

    None.

    Absolutely best hotel and staff I have ever been in. I stayed in Saba Hotel for 4 nights - a few hours after departing (and already in Capadocia), I noticed I had left my engagement jewel in my room. The hotel staff, and specially Mustafa, went way out of their way to find it and sending it to me ASAP. I can only praise their honesty and involvement over the whole process, and I am deeply grateful to them for having reunited with my necklace. As for the hotel, it’s extremely well-located, clean, and reasonably priced. 10/10, absolutely recommended!
