"A very nice place to stay with an amazing location. The breakfasts were delicious, and the views of the sea and the city were absolutely stunning. Everything was clean and quiet.
The staff went above and beyond to help us recover a phone that we accidentally left in a taxi. They assisted us by making calls, translating, and coordinating everything. Thanks to their help, we got our phone back the very same day.
Highly recommend this place!"
"It’s an excellent choice if you are visiting Istanbul for the first time. Just 10 minutes walk from major attractions like blue mosque and Hagia Sophia within 10 minutes walk"
"Nothing not to like at this hotel. It’s located right at the center of the major attractions and it’s very safe to walk at night. Hotel is very new and stuffs are extremely friendly. They make Turkish coffee or tea for you anytime you want for free. I will come back to this hotel again next time."
"I stayed in Osmanhan with my mom and it was one of the best stay ever. Receptionist Nuri is so polite friendly and always ready to help. The cuteness of the hotel made it even better! The view from the roof top is amazing and we enjoyed our breakfast with my mom there. Ladies who cleaned our room and lady who made our breakfast are amazing women! Emily and always friendly! Thank you!"
"The hotel faced a large paved park. No traffic on that side. Staff on arrival were very helpful as I was departing on a tour at 6am they organised a sandwich as the breakfast wasn’t available at that time. All very good ,I would definitely stay there again."
