Nice hotel
Pros:

Recital Hotel is situated close to a lot of key attractions with an array of restaurants and cafes close by. Rooms are spacious and well cleaned. And while it was too rainy to utilise the terrace, knowing it’s there is a big bonus. Beds comfortable also.
Downside is at nights you could constantly hear water, like a toilet being flushed. So was very difficult to sleep. And breakfast felt more like a staff room than guest space. With staff constantly coming in and out for food and drinks for themselves, eating at the tables etc.

Óptima! Istambul é surpreendente. O Hotel Recital ajuda a boas noites de conforto!
Pros:

Gostámos de tudo. A simpatia dos funcionários é contagiante. Como tive oportunidade de escrever, até o gato deles é uma simpatia. Utilizámos o serviço de lavandaria e correu bem. O ginásio era adequado. A zona era bastante central. O pequeno almoço era repleto e variado; o café e o chá muito bom.

Cons:

Para quem deseja ficar em Istambul por uns dias, informe-se do Istambul Red Card. Pode tornar tudo mais simples e mais barato. Não é nada que envolva o Hotel, apenas um conselho para os turistas!

Очень надеемся приехать еще, и уже на более длительный срок)
Pros:

Отдыхали первый раз в Стамбуле. Прекрасное место расположение в центре, все в шаговой доступности. Очень красивый, теплый, уютный отель. Отдельно хочу отметить террасу отеля, вид бесподобный в любое время суток. Прекрасный персонал, приветливый, доброжелательный. Большое спасибо Марии, которая создавала нам уют и чистоту в номере, замечательная кухня, прекрасный административный персонал, чувствовали себя как дома. Еще раз огромное спасибо всем сотрудникам Отеля Recital. 12.01-16.01.2026

Great location, helpful staff.
Pros:

Unal was brilliant - Fenerbahce ST holder. We get a key ring from every European club we go as a momento, but this was much harder in Istanbul. Unal went out of his way to get one from their club shop before the game and left it at reception for us when we got back. What a guy!

Cons:

The heating system was very noisy.

Çalışanları çok iyi ve ilgililer. Verilen oda aşırı küçüktü ve klima yetersiz.
Pros:

Otel personeli müşterilerle çok ilgiliydi. Hepsi en yüksek puanı hakediyorlar.

Cons:

Bize verdikleri oda parasını ödediğimiz oda değildi. Oda çok küçük olduğundan 2 bebeğimiz için beşik sığmadı odaya. Reservasyon yaparken odanın büyük olacağı ve iki beşik sığacağı teyidini almıştık oysaki. İlk gecemiz oldukça zor geçti. Bebeklerin birini yere serdiğimiz süngerde uyuttuk. Elbise dolabı beşik tarafından engellendiğinden onu da kullanamadık.

Çalışanlar sorunla yakinen ilgilendiler ve ikinci gün odamızı değiştirdiler. Yeni oda daha büyüktü ve rahat ettik.

Genel olarak oda klimalarının çok zayıf ve yetersiz olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Bu da diğer bir memnun olmadığımız noktaydı.

Wonderful hotel in Sultanahmet
Pros:

The hotel is located in the historic city center within walking distance from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, etc. The neighborhood is very pedestrian friendly and safe. The room was clean and well maintained with basic toiletries and hairdryer provided in the bathroom. The room had a safe box. The AC was quiet, there was no noise from the street or other rooms at night. The buffet breakfast was of good quality and had a large variety.

Cons:

Be aware that because the hotel is located in the historic city center, it's far from the airport and the narrow cobblestone streets in the neighborhood are difficult for cars to navigate.

Great location - friendly staff
Pros:

Great location, staff was nice and receptive. I was surprised that our beds were big, we stayed at some other hotels in Istanbul before and bed was short.

Gentlamen in the night shift helped us when our flight got cancelled to book another night and was overall very nice.

Loved the cat in the lobby!

Comfortable and friendly hotel in the heart of the main tourist district
Pros:

Very clean property with excellent staff throughout. The room was exactly as advertised and the location was ideal for all the main sights. Breakfast was very enjoyable with lots of choice and attentive staff. Reception is permanently staffed and we were always made to feel welcome.

Cons:

Nothing really but a few things be improved a little. For example, it would be better if the lamp worked without the main overhead light coming on. A coffee table would also be useful. Very minor things.
