    Amazing staff, great location, exceptional breakfast, good value for money but a little hot in the rooms at night

    The only downfall was no air conditioning in the rooms and our room had no windows so it was like sleeping in an oven. Floors were exceptionally hot at all times of the day which didn’t help the situation and we had to leave the door open at night to allow for airflow so we could sleep. BOOK A ROOM WITH WINDOWS!!

    Amazing location. 5 minute walk to main sunset viewing spot. Roof top terraces where you can sit and listen to the live music from surrounding bars. Staff are super helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was exceptional! A full Turkish spread plus homemade omelettes and other sweet treats. The Turkish coffee experience was a blast as well!Great value for money

    Windowless main floor rooms hot and stuffy in July, with no AC. Ceiling in my room crumbled sand grit onto bed and floor. Breakfast in the basement, not on a terrace with a view. (Feliz and her wonderful, cheerful cooking distracted us from this deficiency.)

    Fabulous breakfasts -tasty, many varied dishes, artistically presented by friendly Feliz, the breakfast chef. Refills on fruit juice and (of course) tea. Two terraces with views over Goreme. The upper one was a fine (and free) place to watch the sunrise balloon flights. I counted 28 in the sky. Get there by 5 am. Free parking in a rare open lot 100 m back along the one-way street. It fills up - don't expect a spot if you arrive late. On the edge of town: quiet and with good views, but an easy walk to restaurants and shops.

    The cabin in the bad was broken and because of that there was water on the floor after every shower. The staff asked us if and when we want to get our room cleaned everyday - but on the days we said yes I would have wished a bit more cleaning done in the room. And the cave room definitely needs air condition because of the bad air quality and humidity.

    The hotel had a great location. Room looked nice with few cool details. The property has two very nice terraces - with a pretty view. The breakfast was typical Turkish breakfast and was amazing.

    It can get a bit warm at night but I was able to open a window to let some air in. Im sure the staff would also help if you let them know. The bed was on the firmer side for me but I still enjoyed my sleep.

    Beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Göreme, Kapadokya. Thank you to the staff who were generous with their time and offered exceptional hospitality. A beautiful Turkish breakfast served daily, with so much variety as well as being in prime location to many restaurants and activities. The most majestic setting, this is a wonderful place to stay.

    Everything was perfect! However, the mattress wasn’t the most comfortable for a couple—even though we had a king bed, it was actually two single beds pushed together, which left an uncomfortable gap in the middle.

    The staff was very friendly and helpful, we loved it. The hotel has a very nice view and the breakfast fast amazing!! I definitely recommend it. Lovely to spend time with your loved ones.

    On the Booking they write that our Deluxe King Suite has a balcony - nope :) (even though they had confirmed me this before in a personal message). Also no promised coffee maker - just kettle. That's not fair!!! There was a problem - the piping of our bath became leaky (OK, it happens, no problem), but they could not fix it in a day (wow, absolutely strange). Said that they will move us to another cheaper room for a night or two. For such short stay we did not want to. So, they kindly provided us a lot of towels to drain the floor. The room was cleaned just so so. Couple of days we found the room lady sitting on the sofa in our room and chatting over the phone :)

    Enchanting hotel in a cave. Nice unique original decoration of the room. Location is a bit uphill, but the view over the city and balloons from our Deluxe King Suite terrace on the top floor was unforgettable. Courteous host. Charming lady in the kitchen serving superb generous outstanding breakfast.

    Nothing - everything was perfect for us.

    Location is ideal - right in the centre of town and a stones throw from the hill where you can go up to the sunrise / sunset viewing point. The Turkish breakfast was homemade every day and the lady who served it was so friendly. Exactly what you need after getting up early to do the hot air balloon ride. All of the staff were lovely and helpful - anything we needed they could do for us. We asked about some local tours and airport transfers and the hotel reception were able to sort them no problem. We also loved their little dog, Toffee. Put a smile on our face every day. Can’t recommend this place enough if you want to stay in Göreme. We even decided to stay an extra night - the room swap was also effortless!

    The only complaint I have is the room was too hot. There wasn't a heater or A/C so the temperature couldn't be adjusted, but they did have a fan which help a lot.

    The staff were amazing during our entire stay. Their helpfulness and kindness was a big reason why our trip was so great. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. It is very close to shopping and eateries and the staff were more than happy to assist with questions on where to go around town.

    Stayed two nights in this lovely little hotel. I was very well taken care of by Halide, Ugur, and Umit. Ugur is the chef, and he makes the nicest breakfast. Perfect place to watch the sunset or the balloons, if you're not riding in one. Also, it's just a 5 minutes walk to the viewpoint. Hope to be back! A tip! Just take the dolmus bus from the airport, and they will drop you off at the hotel.
