Jozica 10.0

This is the hotel you want to stay when in Istanbul. Boutique, clean, very good rooms, good breakfast, 10 minutes walk from Blue Mosque and center. And the staff here is incredible, I havent met such nice and helpful personnel anywhere.

Bridann 10.0

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable rooms with great views of the Bosphorus. Very close to lots of good restaurants and an excellent location for walking to a lot of the well known attractions in the old city.

Bonnie 9.0

The restaurant was exceptional.

Corinne 9.0

Location, large room, tasteful architecture and room decoration, roof top terrace. Excellent soundproofing.

Carla 9.0

Location was great, just a few blocks from the key sights in the Sultanahmet area. Nice neighborhood, it was touristy but could still find restaurants that were reasonably priced. Breakfast was nice, a few different items every morning. The staff were great at making sure there was plenty of food. They even brought us yogurt when we asked for it. We had a sea view balcony room but the best feature of the hotel is the rooftop terrace (no it is not a bar). Fantastic views, plenty of tables for relaxing and maybe have a takeout dinner. We bought Turkish desserts next door and brought them up to enjoy with the evening lights before bedtime.

Ivana 10.0

Great location, all the main attractions are within walking distance, and in a quiet street. Our room was spacious with a sea view. The staff was very friendly. Complimentary coffee all day.

Iversen 9.0

Recital is not a new Hotel, but it wears its age with an elegance and charm, that is hard to find. The breakfast buffet was excellent, never boring and very tasty. However it is the staff that makes it such a great stay. In reception, Meryem, Fatma, Ahmet and Abdurahman, always pleasant and vey helpful from teaching us a little Turkish to places where to eat, explaining the public transport. During breakfast the team of Engin and Buse made breakfast so enjoyable, super attentive to what we would like.. These people deserve a raise in pay, they are the ones that makes us want to come back to Recital.

Benyamin 10.0

I just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the staff at this hotel Reza, Ozgur, Mayam, Abdul Rahman, Fatma, and everyone else. During my stay, I truly felt at home. It’s hard to put into words how much I enjoyed my time here it felt as if the hotel team and I had known each other for many years. Oh, and I must mention the hotel’s neighbor, Murat Abi such a wonderful person to spend time with! 😀

Dudu 9.0

The hotel is a nice one, clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice and polite, ready to help. Location is good, close to good restaurants and walking distance from attractions.

Marcela 10.0

I stayed here about 13 years ago. Love the location, breakfast is wonderful and staff is always marvelous. Great place to stay at.

Ursula 8.0

Good location. The room was spacious with comfortable, wide beds

Stason 9.0

Great staff…so helpful, friendly and genuinely nice people. The location is central to so many of the “must-see” attractions in Instanbul. All within walking distance. Great recommendations from staff for places to eat. We enjoyed the views from the rooftop terrace as well. Breakfast was good, coffee excellent. Not a huge selection, but more than adequate for most. The room was comfortable, and the price for the hotel can’t be beat!
