We absolutely loved the entire Recital Hotel’s staff! They did countless things that made our stay even more memorable and comfortable than it would have otherwise been. First of all, the beautiful, delicious breakfasts each morning were beyond expectation. Breakfasts (included in the price of our stay) came with an attentive & kind staff — especially Buse & Engin. I had cappuccinos every morning, Turkish salads, vegetables, olives, cheeses, and hot foods. At the front desk Mariam, Fatma, and a wonderful man made suggestions, taxi reservations, a Hamam (Turkish Bath) inquiry, cistern recommendations (Mariam TOOK US to one destination), restaurant recommendations, a laudermat run for laundry, & mini language lessons. One staff member even lent us HIS umbrella on a particularly rainy day when the hotel ran out of umbrellas to lend!! Our room was clean, there were many smiles, and we always had everything we needed. I was astounded by this hospitality. It was a joy to stay at the Recital Hotel. The location was central to the sights first-trip visitors to Istanbul want to see. There is a great coffee shop on the corner. It’s 3 blocks to the Blue Mosque. It’s 2 blocks from the tram. It’s 4 blocks from the Grand Bazaar. We thought it was perfect. And it’s comfortable & pretty. We had a mini fridge in our room for fresh Turkish strawberries & Ayran. And the staff cares for the cats in their neighborhood with outside shelter spaces and meat leftovers. They are the best!

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.

Great place to stay

I enjoyed staying at the Recital Hotel: All staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was varied and delicious, the hotel was near to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace and also close to restaurants and the very useful tram T1. I stayed twice and got a room upgrade on my second visit. This second room on the 5th floor was very quiet. Whenever I sent an email to the hotel (e.g. about booking transport from the airport to the hotel), I received a prompt reply. At the top of the hotel is a terrace with sea view, which is a definite bonus. I felt safe and comfortable staying at the Recital Hotel and would happily stay again.
