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

Ideally situated in the historic centre of Istanbul, a short walking distance from tramline, Topkapi Palace, Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Bazaar and plenty of highly rated eateries, Hotel Saba was everything we could have wished for! Rooms are clean, bedding is top. Maybe a minor issue could be that the different options at the breakfast buffet don't get quickly topped up leaving guests with little choice 1 hour after opening?

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.

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.
