The time of stay is from January 20 to January 26, 2025. Excellent location, 200 meters from Sultan Ahmed Mosque. All the sights are nearby, within walking distance. The T1 tram stop is not far away. The hotel is located on a quiet street where cars rarely drive. Sleep comfortably. Comfortable mattresses. Beautiful view from the breakfast terrace. There is a sufficient selection of dishes for breakfast. The room is clean, dry, and spacious. There is central heating. Which is hard to find in Istanbul in winter. The hotel has an elevator. Polite staff. There are Russian speakers.
We are very pleased with our stay at the SabaHotel in August 2024. We lived from August 2 to August 8 in a double room with our son. Convenient location. The main thing is the most friendly and helpful managers at the reception and the butler. They communicated with us in fluent English and Russian. Many thanks to them for the feeling of support and security, they helped with all the questions and gave them the best mood!
The hotel is very cozy, there are many sofas in the lobby, a collection of intricate teapots, the interior is selected in a classic style. The room was quite compact in space, but it had everything you needed. The bathroom has new plumbing, everything is perfectly clean. Shower accessories and soap were found in a drawer under the sink. For breakfast, we went up to the 5th floor to the restaurant by elevator. The cook and the assistant heated milk on the gas stove for the baby every morning. A large selection of greens, vegetables, watermelon was offered every morning. A choice of salads, sliced cheeses and sausages, hot omelette, French fries and hot sausages, boiled eggs, hot fresh pastries from the chef! The cook knows Russian. Some of the tables are located on a very pleasant terrace overlooking the blue waters of the Golden Horn and the domes and minarets of the Blue Mosque. There was a feeling of relaxation in a familiar favorite place.
Walking distance to the main attractions: hippodrome, Sultan Ahmet Mosque Palace (popularly the Blue Mosque), Hagia Sophia Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Grand Bazaar. In the evening, you can walk near the fountain on the square, there are many cafes and restaurants nearby, there is also a city tram stop, the main way of getting around the city for locals and many tourists. The hotel also helped us to choose excursions in Russian, the gathering of groups took place at the racetrack 3 steps from the hotel. This was also a big plus.
Excellent location, friendly staff, cozy rooms that were cleaned every day. The breakfasts were average, but delicious, and there was no shortage. Stunning view from the rooftop restaurant terrace.
There are several supermarkets, cafes and a tram stop nearby.
