How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
In Sultanahmet, 0.3 km from the mosque and 0.4 km from Hagia Sophia
The Saba Sultan Hotel stands on a small street (Cetinkaya Cikmazi Sokagi) in the Cankurtaran quarter of Sultanahmet, postcode 34122. Its position is the main thing it offers: the Sultan Ahmed Mosque is about 0.3 km away in a straight line, Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern about 0.4 km, and Hagia Irene about 0.5 km. Topkapi Palace is about 0.9 km and the Suleymaniye Mosque about 1.9 km.
For onward travel, Sirkeci railway station is about 1.2 km away. Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW) is about 30 km from the hotel and Istanbul Airport (IST) about 34.7 km, both in a straight line. The hotel runs a paid airport shuttle, which spares you the question of how to cover that distance with luggage.
Three room types, from a 16 m² economy to 20 m² superior
Every room here follows the same pattern: one queen bed or two twin beds, and each sleeps up to 3, so a couple with one child fits any of the three. What separates them is size and view. The Economy Double or Twin Room is the smallest at 16 m² and has no view specified; it suits a traveller who plans to be out all day and wants a bed and little else.
The two Superior rooms are both 20 m², so the choice between them comes down to whether you want the sea view. There is no larger room, no family room and no suite, so a group of four or more would need more than one room.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Double or Twin Room | 16 m² | 1 queen bed or 2 twin beds | up to 3 | – |
| Superior Double or Twin Room with Sea View | 20 m² | 1 queen bed or 2 twin beds | up to 3 | sea view |
| Superior Double or Twin Room | 20 m² | 1 queen bed or 2 twin beds | up to 3 | – |
What is on site
This is a hotel geared to sightseeing travellers rather than to staying in.
The absence of a lift would matter in this part of Istanbul, where many small hotels sit in converted townhouses without one; here the lift and the disabled-access facilities mean the hotel works for travellers who cannot manage stairs. The rooms are air conditioned and soundproofed.
Check-in, children and pets
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 11:00. Children are allowed, and with every room sleeping up to 3, a family of three can share one room. Pets are not allowed, so leave them at home.
Who it suits and who it does not
The choice between economy and superior is simply a choice between 16 m² and 20 m², and then whether to pay the difference for the sea view.
It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, anyone needing parking, or a group that wants to share one large room, since nothing here sleeps more than 3.
