I chose the Osmanli Marco Pasha Hotel for its location and for motorcycle security. On both aspects it was excellent. The hotel has an exotic atmosphere with interesting and attractive buildings and plants. The parking is enclosed, the rooms clean and functional, and breakfast was both ‘typical’ and individual. Most enjoyable! No evening meal was available but the manager organised one of her staff to take me to a local restaurant where I had an excellent meal. I also had some sightseeing desires. The hotel is but a 5-10 minute walk from St Paul’s house and well. I have no hesitation in recommending Osmanli Marco Pasha Hotel.

To be truthful - nothing!

Located in the beautiful old town - with beautiful old buildings around and all interesting sights in walking distance - still it was nice and quiet at night.Room was in old osmanian style and very beautiful. You could really dream away to old days. Shops and everything you need ( from the world of today,) in walking distance. And very helpful staff

If you don't speak turkish be aware that in hotel and elsewhere very few speak English, German etc - you can get a little help from tourist information in old town

The hotel is conveniently located in the historic city centre with easy access to the main attractions. Private parking is an added bonus. The hotel's common areas (e.g. garden) are better organised than the rooms. The room has old furniture and the shower is not conveniently combined with the toilet. The staff do not speak English, but are very friendly and helpful.

nice breakfast , very attentive staff, beautiful old building, parking

Obviously guests are allowed to smoke in the rooms. We could only sleep with the windows wide open because the room smelled like old cigarette fumes. When we left, we too smelled like heavy smokers. The hotel should definitely provide non smoking rooms.

Beautiful hotel in a historical building with great atmosphere in the heart of old Tarsus. Nice courtyard with comfortable seating with tables, providing a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying evening drinks and breakfast in the morning.

Osmanli marco pasha is hotel like fairy. Great hosts, great garden, scence of tranquility and history, very near all historical atractions. Great hotel, pure ten points.

Lovely, old fashioned hotel and courtyard with a lot of character. The hotel manager was very kind. Most sites in the town are in walking distance and the others just outside the town a short drive. A very pleasant stay.

the lovely setting and courtyard. the rooms were clean and expensively draper. had a balcony.

finding it

The hotel is situated 2 minutes from the thomb of Prophet Daniel, and also very close to all places to visit. The building and the furniture is auhentic, historical, and the garden is amazing.

Beautiful, classic hotel in ancient Tarsus - a gem. The staff was class too, making sure they understood and provide our needs even though we didn't share the same language.
