The room and hotel generally was very clean and exceeded my expectations. Staff were very helpful and kind, they even lent me their Istanbulkart and didn't struggle moving around. Would highly recommend and stay at Recital again anytime I'm in Istanbul.
Very good location to visit main attractions of the city. Staff is very generous and friendly! Highly recommended!
The rooms are a little bit old but everything seemed well maintained.
Yes the room was spotless! The staff were very helpful! The staff from the breakfast dinner. They delivered our breakfast to our room. Our food app could no be used because restaurants requested a local number! Abdul helped us by using his own cell phone! They made our stay comfortable! We felt like home! We stay there 8 night nights!

Great breakfast! Very comfortable rooms. Close to all major sights and transportation. If you are a first time tourist to Sultanahmet, this is the place to stay
Staff was great, breakfast was decent. The mattress was a bit hard but acceptable, and the hotel was clean. The location was good, close to the tram and attractions.
The room was perfectly clean with a great view, and the staff were friendly, courteous, and always ready to help. They were also very respectful of our privacy and the time we spent at the hotel.
Lovely small hotel with lovely staff and great service.
The hotel was within walking distance of the harbour and landmarks and there were lots of restaurants and shops nearby.
Rich breakfast buffet with healthy food.
The room was spacious, clean and well maintained.
Location near Historic sites in walkable distance.
Spectacular roof top view.
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!
