Отдыхала в этой гостинице и осталась очень довольна. Прекрасное расположение — рядом музеи, туристические автобусы, продуктовые магазины, сувенирные лавки, базар, рестораны, а также удобный выход к морю. В номере было комфортно: работал кондиционер, чистые простыни создавали ощущение свежести, а горячая вода в комнате всегда была в наличии. Отдельно хочется отметить приветливый персонал — все вопросы решались быстро и с заботой.
И, конечно, порадовал прекрасный завтрак: было вкусно и с хорошим выбором, чтобы начать день с хорошим настроением. I stayed at this hotel and was very pleased. The location is absolutely great—near museums, tourist buses, grocery stores, souvenir shops, the bazaar, and restaurants, and it’s also convenient to get to the sea.
Inside the room I had everything needed: the air conditioner worked well, the sheets were clean and fresh, and there was hot water in the room whenever we needed it. The staff was also very friendly—every question was handled quickly and with care.
And the breakfast was excellent.
The airport transfer costs 50 euros, which is really convenient and not expensive for the service provided.
Курящее кафе внизу. И недостаточно котиков вокруг. Tobacco- smoking-cafe and not enough cats.

Amazing location. Comfortable, welcoming and attentive staff
Looked like maybe a cat had been on our bed so had some black hairs over sheet when we first arrived.

We had wonderful time at the Optimist. The entire staff was wonderful, Muhammed (Mumy the owner who is also "The Optimist"), Asia, the brother of Mumy and the other two girls were so nice and accommodating - friendly, chatty and helpful. They fed us beautiful breakfast with coffee and apple tea. My friend and I were in a bliss from the atmosphere of the hotel, location and the city. We liked the most the authenticity of the hotel, we wanted a local "mom and pap" type of establishment and this is what "the Optimist" was. The sheets and towels were clean, the mattresses were very comfy and we had an AC and good bathroom. The hotel is facing the Blue Mosque, first line on the square, and has a cute Turkish bar on the first floor that serves drinks and food.
We loved everything. I do not think that we had ironing table and hair dryer, but I am sure that the staff would have provided to us if we would have asked.

GreatLocation, window view, friendly staff, very good breakfast
The bathroom wasn’t clean. and the apartment floor made our feet dirty. This place needs a deep professional cleaning.
