Quaint property with old charm, with good breakfast selection and very kind staff at the Front Desk and Rooftop breakfast restaurant. Ideal for those without fuss seeking a rustic experience but not for those seeking an ultra luxury experience.

The location of this hotel is the very best - right on hippodrome plaza. Our room faced the plaza, across from the blue mosque. The shuttle to and from the airport was great, just bear in mind the shuttle must be paid for in CASH.

It’s all about location location. It’s right on the main mall by the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, German Fountain and more. To sit having breakfast on their top floor overlooking the famous mall was so nice. The staff was so helpful and the restaurant had excellent food. We enjoyed our stay there.

We had an excellent stay! Safe, comfortable, delicious Turkish style breakfast . The best part was the helpful gentleman at the front desk. He immediately served us Turkish Tea and then helped us with anything we wanted to know as first time travelers to Istanbul. Highly recommend!!!

Great hotel, thinnwalls

Great location right actoss from the blue mosque! The view from the breakfast is fantastic and the service was really good. Very thin walls make it so you hear every noise from the lobby or other floors all night which bothered my sleep a lot unfortunately.

Amazing location of the hotel, in nearest distance to the Blue Mosque; extremely friendly staff; especially Mesut from the reception took a good time to give advise and recommendations for visiting by our own the environment.

Amazing location, shops were more affordable around the area. Right infront of the blue mosque. Delicious restaurants on the side street. Lovely host Mr hakem was very kind and welcoming. Room service could've been better as i noticed the bed sheets were not changed for 2 days. However that doesn't make a difference to the overall hotel. It was very lovely and comfortable and everything else what a walking distance.

We stayed at Terra Cave Hotel for 3 nights at the end of November and we loved it. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They arranged our airport transfers and all the tours we did while we were in the area. Breakfast was great, with omelettes made fresh on order. Location is close to the centre of the town and you can walk to all the shops and restaurants in 5 mins. We only stayed for two days but we had a great experience in the short time we were there.
