There are so many cave hotels in Goreme, and many are similar. Sakura is a newer cave hotel - only open 2 years. The guys are friendly and very warm. Metim speaks English well and will offer to help set you up with any and all activities. We stayed in a cave room with a jacuzzi tub, which was nice to have to warm up after being out all day/evening. Breakfast was terri...

We were travelling from Konya to Goreme and got to the hotel after 10am and were given a very warm welcome. The owner one of two brothers arranged breakfast for our group of four even though the time for breakfast was over. The staff was very friendly and cooperative. The owner/manager also rang on our behalf to arrange transport to our next hotel in Pamukkale as we h...

I was staying here for half a day as I had to check out of my initial hotel, and my bus ride was not til at night. I booked Guven Cave so I could have a rest and shower before my overnight bus ride. I requested for transport from my initial hotel to this hotel thru Whatsapp and got a reply very quickly, super efficient! I have to be honest and say the room was a little...

The hotel is located at a very good location near the shops and restaurants. From the balcony of the hotel, guest has a good view of the city and can see the beauty of Goreme. You can book your hot air balloon flight from the hotel 3 days in advance to be sure of the experience and book also the red tour which will bring you to the amazing rock chapels of Goreme open...

Highly recommend this small family run hotel. Good value for money. Rooms are clean, have enough space and are comfortable. Mrs Guney the owner/manager is a lovely lady, friendly and willing to assist with anything you ask. They also plan and help you book tours in Goreme. Hotel is close to shops and restaurants (only the hill is steep to walk up). Breakfast is simpl...

I checked about 30 hotels before I chose Village Cave House Hotel for 2 reasons: the terrace and the in-room wifi. The latter is especially hard to find among Goreme hotels. The view from the terrace is absolutely worth the price - especially if you're already tired from the hike, you can still enjoy the view (including that of the hot air balloons in the early morni...

The hotel is in the center of Goreme, next to the place will all the souvenir shops, coffee places, restaurants. We arrived late at night and there was someone at the reception waiting for us. The people at the hotel are very friendly and they can help you rent a car or motorbike as well book a hammam at a very good price. The breakfast is more than enough with a big v...

Exactly the cave type hotel we were looking for. The lady at the hotel makes amazing breakfasts that we loved. The view of the hot air balloons was exceptional. The location is very close to Goreme downtown and walking distance from restaurants and shops. The only downside is the terrace on the roof was not done up for chilling like the pictures, so we just had to st...

I can only say that don't spend your time with searching any other hotel."Tourist hotel" is convenient and very close to town center.It takes 3 minutes to walk to the bars, restaurants and local shops. The service was excellent too.This is one the hotels in that area which has a pool, friendly staff, rooms with view of the rock dwellings, loved this hotel - very comfo...

Our room was a cave. it was awesome. Great view of all the Balloons from the roof top seating area. Breakfast was great and unlimited tea. Staff was excellent. They also helped me book a car for the day which was dropped off at the hotel after my balloon flight. We rented a car and drove to all the major sites on both the tours that they offered in one day.

The rooms were so cosy; clean and spacious. The location was very convenient & there are minimarts very close by once u walked to the main street. Alot of restaurants nearby as well & very near to the bus station if you are looking to take the busses to other parts of Turkey.. The staff were always so helpful and attentive to our needs. Wonderful stay in Cappadocia....

We are writing this review after checking out staying at a nearby popular hotel for “hot air balloon photo taking opportunity”. In comparison, Tulip cave was so much better in amenities, everything was in great condition with a great family run staff. It’s location was not far from the city centre (considering all hotels are all on the slopes) and although it’s not at ...

I stayed 2 nights in Goreme, I had really great time thanks to vineyard cave hotel staffs. They helped us to plan a schedule efficiently and very kind and helpful. Also the view of terrace was great , we really enjoyed our breafast with the view and tasty food. I recommend you to visit this hotel if you are plan to visit Goreme^^

I was in Atak Hotel for 2 days and i couldn’t have had a better experience. The room is as shown in the pictures, it’s super clean and comfortable perfect for the people who don’t need luxury. They allowed me to check in early that way i could take a shower before going on the tour. They help me find a green tour, hot air balloon tour and the airport shuttle. The break...

Taskonak is a boutique hotel, located in the heart of Goreme region, a peacefull family-run facility with a perfect view. The owners are very kind. Especially, their son Berat, is one of the most positive person I've ever met. I couldn't find any words to describe him, "angel" may be :)) The rooms are clean (housekeeping to be improved and they told us they will...

If you wanted to try staying in cave hotel but not ready to give 100+ USD\night, this is the place you need. Situated in the middle of the old city Goreme, has great views from its terraces. Room is spacious, clean and warm without any heating other than your breath (october). WiFi coverage is spotty and you have to re-connect manually every time you loose signal. Ouc...

First of all, I have to mention MR. Emrah nothing we did in Cappadocia would have been possible without him. He gets in touch with you over Whatsapp before your stay, can arrange all the transfers and tours, including the weather forecast if you’re here for the hot-air balloon rides, and is not just an excellent source of information but great company as well - and he’...

The hotel is not a real "cave" but overall I had a pleasant stay here. The breakfast was great with lots of selections. The staff was kind but just like any other hotel staff, they always tried to sell you some package tours (green tours, red tours or hot balloon). It is your decision if you want to book the tours from the hotel afterall it's more convenient to do so...

I stayed in Artemis at Goreme with my wife and one elder daughter and two kids. I had a rented car to move around the different touristic locations. This was a cheaper option compared to € 50 per adult for one tour plus the taxi cost from and to the Kayseri airport which 75 km far from Goreme. I advise families or group of 4 persons and more to rent a car and plan in ...

Everything is all right with this hotel . Even though it is not a 5 star but I give it an outstanding or excellent. The breakfast on roof top is very commendable. They alternate the breakfast either at the Goreme House close to the hotel or at the hotel rooftop. Kamal who worked at the hotel is easy to deal with and has a good command of English.

The room was great, it is Well heated and located at the heart of goreme. Booked for hot air balloon but it was cancelled during our stay and so we asked the receptionist for any recommendation for a place to catch sunrise and he said we should go for the horse riding. Which we booked thru them as the price is reasonable. He also reminded us about the weather.

one the best hotels in Goreme. Everything perfect the staff especially Mehmet and other lady on reception really helpful showing us around and telling us where to go and what to see. Breakfast was amazing and the view with it made it so mesmerizing. Loved all of it.
