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!

It’s always good to be back at the Recital, all the staff are very nice, polite and friendly, specially Ünal who goes above and beyond, he should be a supervisor or something, his customer service skills are unique, he is great! This is a Hotel you feel just like being at Home, clean rooms, clean bathrooms, very good breakfast and the location is amazing, 10min to the major touristic sites such as Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, shops around the hotel and a very good supermarket 3min away … That makes a must stay Hotel !
