Optimist Hotel Review. I had a wonderful stay at the Optimist Hotel for one night and would definitely return. The hospitable staff made everything feel warm and welcoming. I enjoyed splendid views of the sea from my room, which was also modern and comfortable. The beds were large and I slept very well. The central location is fantastic; I could easily walk to the nearby bazaar and shops. Plus, the hotel restaurant offered delicious cuisine, making dining very convenient.

Greatly enjoyed our brand-new and extremely spacious rooms in this place.
The hotel's staff were very welcoming all the time. Location: the venue was very close to the Sultanahmet Square where all the ancient mosques monuments are located and a brief walk away from Topkapi Palace, the hippodrome, and all tourist sites. Great to be 300 feet away from Best Corner Restaurant, enjoyed our meal there.

The Optimist Hotel is a fabulous and delightful property nestled in the Old City Sultanahmet district. Its location is exceptional, just two metro stops from the main attractions and within easy reach of all the sights. Guests can enjoy a really great view from the windows, and the staff is incredibly kind and sympathetic, ensuring a terrific stay. Plus, being close to the Blue Mosque adds to its allure.

Everything was perfect, from the polite staff to the stunning sea views. Our accommodation was conveniently located right next to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, with all major attractions like Topkapi Palace and the Hippodrome in sight of Sultanahmet Mosque. The food at the outdoor restaurant was fabulous and brilliant, making our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to return soon to experience it all again!
