Pros:

Personalul, terasa si locatia

Cons:

Baia, mirosea a umezeala, probabil din cauza ventilatorului care nu functiona. Iar salteaua patului era cam lăsată pe margini.

Best Budget Hotel In Istanbul Old City
Pros:

My stay at the **Recital Hotel** in Istanbul's Old City was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The hotel's location is perfect—within easy walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, and many other historic attractions. It made exploring this beautiful city incredibly convenient.

What truly made my stay exceptional, however, was the outstanding hospitality from the staff. A special thanks  to **Fatma** and **Meryem** at the reception, who were always welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. From the moment I arrived until the day I left, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their warm smiles, helpful recommendations, and willingness to assist with any request made me feel like a valued guest rather than just another visitor.

I would also like to recognize **Bilal** and **Tolga** from the restaurant. Their friendly service, attentiveness, and positive attitude made every breakfast a pleasure. They were always courteous, ensuring guests were well looked after and creating a welcoming atmosphere to start each day.

The hotel itself was spotless, comfortable, and peaceful, with excellent facilities and a delicious breakfast. Every member of the team contributed to making my stay memorable, and their genuine hospitality reflects the very best of Turkish culture.

I highly recommend the Recital Hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. If you're looking for an excellent location, comfortable accommodation, and exceptional service from people who truly care about their guests, this is the place to stay. I look forward to returning on my next visit to Istanbul.

Budget friendly and as close as you could expect to the main historic sites.
Pros:

This really is a very nice, small, boutique hotel, right in the middle of the tourist area of Sultanahmet.
On arrival you can expect a warm welcome from the very pleasant staff.
The room was a decent size with a good ensuite bathroom.
Plenty of choice at breakfast with a little bit of variation every day.
While on the listing it shows a bar and there are bottles of shelves I don't think it actually opens fof alcohol any more.
The rooftop terrace is a nice place to take a drink and a sandwich or other snacks to enjoy the sunset over the city.
If you want to be close to the main attractions in the tourist side of Istanbul then I would definitely recommend the Recital Hotel.

Проживание хорошо, но персонал оставляет желать лучшего.
Pros:

Отличное расположение, две минуты до трамвая, все достопримечательности в пешей доступности.
Хороший завтрак, голодным точно не останешься.
Шикарный балкон, и номер в мансарде.

Cons:

У меня был день рождения на который отель предложил варианты поздравления. Я выбрала, что мне нравится. И...отель просто забыл про него. При заселении была видна дата в паспорте+ была переписка и наверное как-то можно было пометить себе этот момент. В итоге в первый день не поздравили. Решила напомнить утром следующего дня. Напомнила. И ...опять ничего. Максимально не приятно, если честно.
