We loved everything about our stay at Recital Hotel. Our room was clean and large, and we had chosen one with a sea view balcony which didn’t disappoint. A great place for morning coffee or evening wine. The staff were pleasant and helpful for our every need or request. The hotel is ideally placed near many tourist attractions which is helpful if you only have a few days, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The breakfast was mostly the same each day, but plentiful. We’re unlikely to return to Istanbul but would definitely stay here again

We had a wonderful stay at Recital Hotel. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, and many restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, offering a wide variety of options including eggs, cheeses, cold cuts, fresh salads, olives, yogurt, breads, coffee, tea, juices, and more. It was an excellent way to start each day. The room was comfortable and clean, and we would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Istanbul. Highly recommended.
