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.

Very pleasant hotel in old city

The hotel's situated in the old city, near to the Blue Mosque. Staff are very friendly, access to the tram is easy and although slightly hidden away, it is convenient. Breakfast is good, rooms are spacious and the overall atmosphere is great. Beware sharks outside as you walk in the streets foisting expensive rugs, cheap umbrellas, and touting for trade at restaurants. I did indeed come home with a rug and a cheap umbrella. C'est la vie!

Fantastic hotel. Wonderful city.

The Recital is ideal for exploring historic Istanbul being so close to the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Haghia Sofia and many other sites. It's is clean, friendly and relaxed. The staff there are helpful and welcoming. I enjoyed the Turkish breakfast which was tasty, varied and filling. I hope to return to Istanbul in September and will have no hesitation in returning to the Recital.

Average

just stayed at this hotel for a night. it is very hard to find this hotel and it is on an uphill.. no clear instructions to find this hotel. you get dropped off at the bottom and then onwards struggle to find it. although it is 10mins walk to blue mosque and hagia sofia museum.

Great hotel and staff

We stayed at recital hotel for 8 nights and the overall experience was great. The staff were really friendly and polite (a special thanks to Murat, Ehmur and Ilyas for their great hispitality) and the location of the hotel was very convenient. The tram line and restaurants are all a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel and many of the famous attractions are also closeby. If we were to visit the hotel again, we would definitely be staying at this hotel.
