I almost wanted to give a good review, but can you believe they walked into my room without knocking? Definitely not the level of respect I expected. Plus, the breakfast plate was terrible—processed food galore. A real disgrace! I thought I'd receive a complimentary upgrade for putting up with all this, but it seems I was mistaken.

The view from the rooftop was amazing, but the flushing noise was annoying at night.

The room was smaller than expected, which made it a tight fit. Additionally, the lockbox design was poor. it couldn't fit properly in the closet, forcing it to be laid on its side. The bathroom had loud flushing issues that could interrupt sleep, and the breakfast left a lot to be desired, with burnt-tasting coffee and no options for plant-based milk.

The rooftop terrace provided stunning views of the city and was a perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

The breakfast coffee was inconsistent, sometimes tasting burnt, and only regular milk was available for those with dietary preferences.

Upgraded to a deluxe room overlooking the sea.

The stay was enjoyable, as we managed to explore many attractions within walking distance, including the majestic Blue Mosque. The view from the terrace was a delightful plus, especially during evenings. I appreciated how spacious and clean the rooms were, providing a comfortable retreat after busy days of sightseeing. The staff made our stay pleasant and were eager to assist us whenever needed. We also had a great experience dining out, particularly enjoying authentic pizza just a short stroll from the hotel.

The highs and the lows

Fantastic staff made our stay joyful! ! The location was peaceful, providing easy access to major attractions, with excellent breakfast choices.

Small room sizes might not suit everyone. The noise from nearby street and park could disrupt sleep quality.

Exceptional service in a cozy hotel

The staff's warmth and attention were remarkable, making every interaction a pleasure. Breakfast offered a delightful variety of Turkish options, and the rooftop terrace was a serene spot to unwind with sea views after an exciting day exploring Istanbul.

It can be a bit challenging navigating the uphill cobblestone streets, especially after a long day. Additionally, the breakfast could benefit from a few more continental options for those craving something familiar.

i had a great week at recital park. the delux studio was super clean, and the staff, especially emrah, were incredibly helpful. it’s close to the blue mosque and other attractions, making it easy to explore. plus, we loved the roof terrace with its stunning views of the sea after a busy day.
