A peaceful, splendid hotel experience.

This is one of the most pleasant, peaceful hotels i have stayed in duding the last several years. The staff is patient, no non sense, and helpful with assistance where needed. This is an excellent location. The pricing is better than most. And, things are well organized and well taken care of in all the shared areas. Splendid.

Excellent hospitality and great hotel.

We had a great time. Excellent staff, very welcoming and the rooms were great. The staff even lent me money to tip the driver that dropped us off without hesitation (I pad her back of course), but I mean the hospitality was great! We didn’t get a chance to have breakfast but a couple of my family members did and said it was good. Rooms have the nice technology of digital signs at the door for housekeeping and do not disturb rather than the old door sign, nice! Very nice walkable distance to many places, so location was great! Highly recommend and will come back again!

Where do we start. If you are considering choosing a hotel stay at Recital. The staff Unal and Fathima were excellent. U al helped us with everything from arranging a transfer to hotel to booking a bosphorus cruise, booking hamam’s, recommending places to visit. All of his recommendation were spot on. The breakfast was spectacular, the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. We travelled as a family, with 2 kids. The rooms were the best part, they are spacious. It had a queen and 2 twins, one for each of our children. We were very comfortable the whole trip. The AC worked very well and the bathroom was spacious too. The hotel is very centrally located, it’s 10 mins walking distance to everything. If you are visiting the city for the first time I highly recommend staying here and asking for Unal at front desk to help you. You will not regret your stay here at all.
