My stay at Recital Park Hotel had both positives and negatives. Unfortunately, the public accessibility is very poor – reaching the hotel involves steep inclines and passing through dark alleys, which can be uncomfortable, especially at night.
The room was clean, and the climate/heating system worked well. However, it was very noisy, the hallway lighting shone into the room, and the door didn’t fully close at the top, which added to the disturbance.
The staff wasn’t rude but showed little engagement – even a simple greeting like “Good morning” was not always given.
For travelers relying on public transportation, there are definitely more convenient options in Istanbul.
