Det var ett trevligt hotell med bra läge, tillgänglig personal, helt OK frukost och stark Wi-fi. De enda anmärkningarna är att de inte hade fler nycklar till rummet samt att det inte fanns ”stör ej”/”städa ej”-skyltar att lägga på handtaget.

Powitanie po 23.00 kiedy przybyliśmy było takie, jak w rodzinie i zanim się obejrzeliśmy bagaż był w pokoju a my piliśmy pyszną turecką herbatę. Właściciele Mohamed i Cherry oraz pracownicy Ali i Mohamed i pies Charlie są bardzo serdecznie i przyjaźnie nastawieni. Zawsze życzliwi, uśmiechnięci, pomocni i zainteresowani pobytem swoich gości.W hotelu można zjeść smaczny posiłek i napić się pysznej herbaty. Śniadania są podawane od 8.00 do 12.00 i są bardzo obfite i smaczne. Hotel jest świetnie usytuowany dla osób chcących zwiedzać i poznać Istambul. Do Blue Mosqe jest 3 minuty drogi a Hipodrom można podziwiać z hotelowego patio. Również niedaleko jest do Hagia Sophia i Cysterny Bazyliki, Pałacu Topkapi. Bardzo blisko jest do tramwaju, którym można dojechać praktycznie wszędzie. Komunikacja miejska jest dobrej jakości, czysta, klimatyzowana.Miasto zrobiło na nas ogromnie pozytywne wrażenie a jego mieszkańcy obalili wszelkie mity o Turkach. Planujemy wrócić do Istambułu i do Hotelu Optimist, bo czuliśmy się w nim doskonale. Pozdrawiamy Was wszystkich i do zobaczenia wkrótce! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1074-pf962eeb0-95c0-11e8-94ca-0242ac11000e-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1859-p5888d7b0-95c1-11e8-96be-0242ac11000a-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s846-p8727e130-95bf-11e8-96be-0242ac11000a-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Irmina Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2018
