“Best Budget Hotel In Istanbul Old City”
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 explorin… more

“Budget friendly and as close as you could expect to the main historic sites.”
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 ev… more

“Most helpful reception staff”
We took a basic room, not expensive, but it was a great location, clean, and the bed was comfortable and the shower hot, and there was plenty of space. The breakfast was excellent, and the coffee good (not always the case in Istanbul). Best service staff ever. I have never before met more friend… more

“Nice hotel”
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 … more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
