Clean hotel but a bit old. I've seen worse than that in other hotels. Terrible view from the bedroom; we see walls and roofs with a part of Sultanahmet Mosque but it's ok because we are outside mkst of the time. View from terrace is just wonderful and peaceful. Rich breakfast, better than other small hotels. I was amazed by... More

Hotel Saba has a unique location, with views on the Blue Mosque from the top floor where breakfast is served. Turkish breakfast buffet is good, all you need : eggs, cheese, different breads, turkish meze, fruit... Room is not big, but very clean and a good warm shower. The staff is helpful and kind, nothing negative to say. Best quality/price... More

I stayed at this hotel for two weeks in November of 2011. It is ideally located near the Blue Mosque and at the end of the Sultanahmet. I liked the view of the city from the rooftop of the hotel. I especially enjoyed the Turkish breakfast buffet that was served every morning in the restaurant. There was enough food and... More

If you are keen to stay in the Sultanahmet part of the old city, this hotel is a winner. It has a spectacular view from the roof, neat well kept rooms, and decent rates. I paid $103 for my first three nights for a double, and $95 for the last two. I will say to forgive the day reception Manager.... More

We stayed at the Hotel Saba for 4 nights. The location is perfect - a gentle stroll from all the main attractions. The breakfast is great. A vast array to choose from - and the setting is spectacular on the roof overlooking the Blue Mosque. Our room was tiny - but were offered a larger one on day 2. Given... More

As already mentioned by the other reviewers, the location of the hotel is excellent, the staff is friendly and the view from the terrasse/breakfast room is spectacular.
