Recital hotel staff is very helpful and accommodating. The property is located approximately 7-10 min walk to Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. The tram stops are nearby if you want to go to distant places. The rooms are spacious and breakfast spread is decent. The entire staff is actually the cherry on the cake, they were always around whenever I needed. Many thanks for your services.

We had the most amazing nine night stay at the Recital hotel. We were upgraded to a family suite which meant we had so much room for our long stay. The breakfast was amazing and varied each morning. There was always a happy face at the front desk to greet us and also to help us with all our questions about Istanbul; the friendliest staff we have ever experienced. The hotel is within walking distance to all the attractions of Saltanahmet. There were plenty of restaurants nearby as well. We would absolutely recommend this hotel to everyone.

Excellent location. Nice facilities and extremely helpful staff. Special thanks to Medike at reception for her guidance. Taxi can reach right upto the hotel entrance. Tram station is 2 minutes away. Most important locations like Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and Haga Sophia are in walking distance. Lots of dining options also nearby. Highly recommended. My family and I really liked our stay.

Hotel room was not as pictured and was pretty shocked at condition. Towels were ripped and old. Hair dryer was completely melted off on the plastic and super outdated. Bathroom lighting was terrible and shower head water pressure as well as toilet flushing pressure was incredibly weak. Room had a terrible smell each time and that smell would not go away. I would not stay in the same hotel if I go back to Istanbul.

Stayed for the third time at The Recital for 6 nights in December 23. It's a fantastic and faultless hotel. It's clean, friendly and close to many of Istanbul's sites and attractions. A special mention for the breakfast. Lots of choices and very healthy! I had a lovely stay and have no hesitation in giving it top marks and recommending it. One note of caution. The Havuzlu restaurant in the grand bazaar is a total rip off. No prices are listed for the dishes and they see tourists coming. I paid the equivalent of £20 for a small bowl of not very exciting stew and a small quantity of rice. Twice as much as for a good quality meal.

The location of the hotel was excellent and the staff were really nice. I had a good room (deluxe) with great views and two balconies. I chose this room because I thought it was at the top of the building but there was a terrace above it. The terrace was used by smokers and they moved the chairs. The noise of dragged chairs was terrible and I couldn’t sleep until the last smoker had left the terrace. I told the hotel, I asked that smokers be told not to move the chairs and as I left I suggested they buy rubber feet for the chairs. If it wasn’t for the noise, it would have been great. I hope they fix the problem.

We enjoyed our stay at the Recital Hotel. It was clean and quiet. Breakfast was great, several Turkish style dishes. All of the staff were super nice and helpful. They also gave us a map and a list of things to do and see in the area. One of the ladies even offered to take us to the Cistern but by the time we were ready to go it was pouring down rain. The hotel is very convenient and walking distance to many of the historical artifacts, shops, and food.
