I highly recommend this hotel! The hotel itself is beautiful, and the staff is friendly and polite! The room is lovely, and the view from the balcony is simply breathtaking. 👍 The breakfasts are delicious. You can get coffee or tea anytime! We would be delighted to return to this hotel!

The location is very convenient, close to Tram Terminal 1, just four stops from the pier. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are within walking distance. There's a rooftop photo opportunity; the mirror there is absolutely stunning. Breakfast is plentiful, with gummy bears and fruit. The service is excellent and friendly; there's a 24-hour front desk. The rooms are quite clean, and you can ask for anything you need. The hotel has a great atmosphere and is very sunny.

The staff were very kind.
They carried our luggage to our room and explained the room to us in detail.
The bathroom was clean and there was plenty of warm hot water.
There were amenities on the sink, but some were low, so it seemed like they had been reused and some were covered in dust.
The tram station seemed nearby, but there is a slope in front of the hotel, so it may be difficult if you are carrying a large suitcase.
There was a great view from the rooftop terrace.

We spent 5 days in this hotel and we are very happy with our stay. Excellent position, professional and welcoming staff, nice and cozy rooms, good breakfast. I will definitely come back with my family. No complaints at all.
P.S. All your photos from this hotel are with our kid or with us, so we won't post them, but other photos and videos of hotel here are credible

We stayed at The Recital during our trip to Istanbul and it was a pleasant experience. The room was comfy and clean, the staff was very helpful and the daily breakfast was really good. It's conveniently located to all of the main attractions of Istanbul, all within walkable distance. If you're looking for a nice hotel in Istanbul then The Recital hotel would be good for you.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The service was impeccable, the rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.
The location was perfect, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was both relaxing and luxurious. I can confidently say this was one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever had. Highly recommended – I will definitely be coming back!

I stayed at this hotel with my father for 7 days. The location is impeccable. We stayed in one of the rooms facing the hippodrome and it was really worth it. The breakfast was also very good and varied and the view was just wonderful. But the best part of this hotel was its kind, professional and friendly staff. Everyone, from the ladies who prepared breakfast, to the house keepers, to the receptionists, were all extremely warm and friendly. Mr. Mesut, the manager was incredibly helpful and gave us a lot of good guidance on what to do and see. He was really polite, kind nad professional. I can't say enough about how welcome him and his team made us feel. Next time we are in Istanbul, we will do our best to book a room with them again. 5 stars.

Excelent location, friendly staff, nice rooftop terrace. Everything one might want from a hostel in Istanbul!
16.12.2015
I came in December so it was fairly quiet, but if you come in the warm months there will surely be a large crowd. The terrace upstairs offers good views around and a good place to meet people. Located very well right off the Sultanhamet Tram stop, and very convenient to get to almost anywhere in Istanbul. Offers cheap breakfast, cheap ride to airport, and nice rooms with heat/ac and warm water for shower. Wifi is average. Hosts are very helpful, and informative. Great place to stay, especially for backpackers.
