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.
