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.

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, 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.

Location, location location: this hotel is right on the spot where the ancient hippodrome used to be and 5 minutes walk from the Hagia Sophia and all the action. Plenty of eating options very close by. The hotel is busy - even in the low season. There are a few issues: first - and most importantly - the 'standard' rooms are not all equal. The first room we were put in was small and basic and a twin despite us having requested a double bed. We complained and they 'upgraded' us to a 'standard' room which was bigger with a double bed on a higher floor. So, if you book a 'standard' room you could end up with a small twin. The second issue is related to this: they don't seem to take the VIP status seriously. I really had to push for a better room. To their credit, they did deliver it. But I felt like they were doing us a big favour. The third issue is the distinct lack of welcome when you arrive. A small point, but reception really doesn't seem to care. (When we arrived they.offeted a welcome drink which never arrived). No one offers to assist with you bags. Basically, you're on your own. All of that said, the location is fantastic.and the rooms are warm and clean. The room staff are exceptional and make up somewhat for the reception staff. Breakfast is standard Turkish and crowded. But overall, a pleasant stay in a clean, functional hotel.

A little gem perfectly placed for sightseeing

Hotel is in an excellent position for sightseeing being opposite the Blue Mosque and very close to Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace. The room was fine if a little small. No where to leave a suitcase open and there was no chair to use the desk for writing or applying makeup! However, the staff were very helpful and we did enjoy our stay.

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.
