Base perfetta per visitare la città!
Pros:

Tutto molto bello, posizione perfetta e strategica. Staff gentile e disponibile. Camere non grandissime ma perfettamente pulite e organizzate.
Unica nota, sistemare il terrazzo perché è un beccato lasciarlo ai gabbiani.

Cons:

Terrazza non come da foto.

Below average in a nice, historic district of Istanbul.

Great Place to Stay in Istanbul!
Pros:

I travel frequently and have stayed in many top-dollar hotels around the world, but this is actually the first time I felt compelled to leave feedback. My stay at Saba Sultan Hotel in Istanbul was truly exceptional, especially considering the incredible value for the price.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, yet on a quiet street that makes it peaceful and relaxing after a day of exploring.

What really makes this hotel stand out is the staff. They were genuinely warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything—from recommendations to directions and transportation. Their kindness and professionalism made the stay feel very personal and memorable.

My room was on the first floor and my friend stayed on the second floor, and both rooms were awesome. They were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Everything was taken care of daily, and the hotel has a cozy boutique feel that makes you feel at home.

Another highlight was the breakfast (omelet included) and the rooftop terrace. Starting the day with a great breakfast and beautiful views over the Bosphorus and the historic skyline of Istanbul was simply wonderful.

For the price you pay, the value here is outstanding. Even compared to many luxury hotels I’ve stayed at, the level of service and hospitality here truly stands out. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Saba Sultan Hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Overall, Saba Sultan Hotel offers an excellent combination of location, comfort, and outstanding service. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Istanbul and happily recommend it to other travelers looking for a charming and well-run boutique hotel in the heart of the old city.

Loved the Saba Sultan
Pros:

Just got back from Istanbul this week. We stayed a week at the Seba Sultan. We loved it. The location was great! Restaurants were all around us. Shoutout to Santos Restaurant it was wonderful. Our rooms were very very clean. The stafff was so kind and helpful. It’s a bit older but it’s beautiful! The beds were excellent. The breakfast was good! We were two female solo travelers and we felt completely safe! We plan to stay there again when we come back!

Très sympathique
Pros:

Personnel très agréable et volontaire pour nous donner des conseils sur les visites (à faire, comme à éviter).
L'hôtel est bien placé, à 5 min de la Mosquée Bleue et du Bosphore.
La chambre est propre et correctement équipée.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner est varié mais pas de qualité.
La machine à café donne plus d'eau que de café.
Il est préférable de venir pas trop tard pour profiter de tout ce qui est proposé.
Climatisation bruyante.

Чудовий готель
Pros:

Комфортний готель , кожного дня прибирають та міняють рушники. Сніданки смачні та різноманітні. Найцікавіші пам'ятки архітектури в пішій доступності. Все дуже сподобалося!

Pros:

The location was perfect, near all the central tourist sites but in a quiet street. Lovely view over the Bosphorus from the balcony. The room was very clean and the bed extremely comfortable.

Cons:

Room was a little small however I think this is typical for a central location.

Solides Hotel mit Luft nach oben
Pros:

Anbindung an ÖPNV und Erreichbarkeit der wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind top.
Sauberkeit passt und Personal ist sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Zimmerausstattung ist nicht zweckmäßig. Bad ist recht klein.
Frühstück ist nicht empfehlenswert. Türkische Küche geht anders. Wer kein Frühaufsteher ist, sollte im Hotel darauf verzichten und in eins der zahlreichen Cafés oder Restaurants in unmittelbarer Umgebung gehen.
