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!

This hotel is a great place to stay! We were able to walk to most sites. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate and create a pleasant stay. The breakfast was very good and staff obtained special items for my dietary needs. Staff anticipated needs very well and provided good suggestions for the area and transportation. We used the private transfer set up by hotel and had a great ride. The three person room was spacious enough for me, my husband and my sister.

Central to all the tourists attractions.

The hotel is easy to reach, 100m from the tram and very central. Very close walking distance to the Hagia Sophia and there is a supermarket within 50m . The breakfast was excellent and the waiter gave us real turkish coffee. The shower in our room was big and the room was clean and spacious. We will stay there again.

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.

This hotel is in a great area, close to a lot of sights in Sultanahmet. Very walkable and near to the metro to get to other areas of Istanbul. The room was clean and had a nice bathroom with free toiletries. The staff were so kind and helpful, definitely went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Also the breakfast every morning was great, each morning we had a different selection of breads, pastries, cheeses, fruits, and cookies so we got to try so many things. We stayed for 5 nights and then went to Cappadocia and loved it so much we booked there again for the night before our flight home.

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.
