Recital Hotel

Fantastic rooms and location.

Clean hotel, nice rooms, good breakfast. The only issue was that it was a bit noisy at night. If you are not heavy sleeper the noise bothers you.

Central, clean and large with a great view!

ER love it

Rich breakfast buffet with healthy food. The room was spacious, clean and well maintained. Location near Historic sites in walkable distance. Spectacular roof top view.

Great breakfast! Very comfortable rooms. Close to all major sights and transportation. If you are a first time tourist to Sultanahmet, this is the place to stay

Best: Services, staff behaviour, breakfast. Good: cleanliness Normsl: Room waa small. Only one negative poit: There was no parking even for taxi for 1 minutes bciz of that taxi driver wete worried for pick up

The room was perfectly clean with a great view, and the staff were friendly, courteous, and always ready to help. They were also very respectful of our privacy and the time we spent at the hotel.

Friendly staff and great location.

So pleased with the hotel. Fantastic location: within 5 mins walk of all ‘attractions’ but also did not feel overly ‘touristy’. Located very close to lots of restaurants. Staff very helpful. Suggest you go for a room with a sea view. The 5th floor terrace bar is AMAZING. Better than all other views we experienced!

Staff was great, breakfast was decent. The mattress was a bit hard but acceptable, and the hotel was clean. The location was good, close to the tram and attractions.

Nice and well maintained hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Streets are busy with traffic and shops.

Amazing room. Excellent value for price. Service superb.

No issues

I spent 6 nights in the Recital and overall I enjoyed it. I was on the top floor and had a small private terrace. The room was spacious, I had booked a deluxe single but the room had a single bed and a double bed. The bed was reasonable comfortable and the pillows were excellent. Despite being on the top floor, I was unfortunately next to the stair access to the roof terrace. This is advertised as closed 11pm to 7am for the comfort of those on the 5th floor but this is not the case. It was ok initially as the first couple of nights it was raining, but a large tour group of loud (is there any other kind?) Americans arrived in the hotel and behaved like they owned the place. I was up late generally but some nights it was almost 1am before the last people came down and they obviously weren’t quiet. The door to the terrace creaked a lot and would bang loudly if not closed gently. Breakfast was ok. It was quite samey day to day, and they didn’t have any bread for toast after day 4 which I found strange. Hot options were limited and of wildly varying quality. Nothing was labelled so there was an element of trial and error with the more unusual dishes. They have a gym supposedly in the basement which I visited on day 1 and not again. It was in poor condition. One gym mat that must have been at least a decade old. Staff were pleasant. Everywhere was immaculately clean. Despite this though, I would be unlikely to stay again if I ended up returning to Istanbul.

we were v.happy w d hotel experience

Recital Hotel was Clean, Neat, Comfortable and the Staff are the X Factor. Mariam and her Colleague at the Front Desk, Buse at the Breakfast Bar, The Bell hops ( Apologies did not make a note of their names). are Very Professional yet Friendly, Nice and always willing to help and assist. They made our stay very special and Memorable. Thank you to The Whole Team at Recital Hotel. Bryan Nogueiro Sydney Australia.

Clean room, Kind staff, Nearby famous place

Lovely small hotel with lovely staff and great service. The hotel was within walking distance of the harbour and landmarks and there were lots of restaurants and shops nearby.

The property was very nice in appearance. Our room was on the first floor overlooking a small park, which had people in it all night carrying on conversations right outside of our window. The bed was not comfortable, was two twin size beds pushed together to make a king with two separate duvet covers on it in order to cover the bed surface. Perhaps it’s a Turkish thing, but there were no face cloths in the bathroom for showering or cleaning yourself. Location has excellent access to all of the sights in the old city area.
