Wenn man Istanbul sehen möchte und ein günstiges, gutes Hotel braucht: SABA.
Pros:

Wenn man ein Zimmer nur zum Schlafen braucht, dann ist das Hotel genau das richtige: die Lage ist toll, das Frühstück ist gut und das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Small, clean, centrally located hotel with friendly staff
Pros:

The location is excellent. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was tasty, wholesome and at the roof top with a great view of the Blue Dome.

Cons:

The room is small with tiny beds that easily separated when slept upon. The room was "smoke free" but there was always heavy dose of second hand smoke in and around the room (not a pleasant feeling at all).
The contract driver from and to the airport took us to another hotel (SABA SULTAN) and got mad at us. Make sure you insist u want Saba hotel.

It’s all about the location
Pros:

It’s low priced and therefore the offer is pretty basic but seeing as didn’t come to Istanbul to sit in a hotel that didn’t really bother us.

The main issue we had was noise. It may be we were unlucky but we were in room 305 and we could hear everything from the room next door, the room above and from the halls so we didn’t have a single good nights sleep in the 4 nights we were here.

Having said that if you’re armed with earplugs and are a deep sleeper then this hotel is just moments from the Blue Mosque and all the major sites in this part of town. Don’t think you could ask for a better location if you’re in town to explore the historic centre.

Left distress
Pros:

The hotel’s location is spot on — it’s within walking distance of the main attractions in Sultanahmet, and the tram line that takes you almost everywhere in Istanbul is just a 5-minute walk away.

Breakfast was okay, though the selection was limited and the same every day. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable throughout our stay. The staff were generally polite and friendly, except on our last day.

We had booked an airport transfer through the reception two nights before our flight, requesting a 2:30 pm pickup for our 5 pm departure. However, when the time came, the driver never showed up. The hotel staff kept assuring us that he was stuck in traffic and would arrive in 20 minutes, but by 3 pm there was still no sign of him. We started to panic and kept asking for updates — they continued to say “10 more minutes.” By 3:10 pm, we decided to arrange our own transport, knowing it might be expensive. Unfortunately, we ended up having to take two taxis, which cost a total of €170 for the eight of us.

What disappointed us most was that the hotel staff didn’t apologize, even though it was their booking and their responsibility to ensure a reliable transfer. A word of advice to future guests: don’t book your airport transfer through the hotel — arrange it yourself in advance.

Also, a small inconvenience — when my friends asked for two key cards per room, the staff refused, saying they didn’t have enough. Overall, we were disappointed by how our stay ended.
