Pros:

Ürgüp'ün merkezine yürüyerek 8-10 dk da ulaşılabilecek konumda geniş bahçesi ile ferah bir konaklama sunan otelde kalıyor olmaktan çok adında da geçtiği gibi evde kalıyormuşsunuz hissi veren bir tesis. Hem açık büfe de sunulan yiyecek çeşitliliği hem de yumurta, gözleme gibi sıcak hazırlanan yiyeceklerle yapılan kahvaltı oldukça iyi.

Had an enjoyable stay in a characterful hotel within waking distance of the town
Pros:

A quaint little hotel tucked away in a quiet location.
Haydar and his wife laid on an impressive spread each morning for breakfast and Haydar, whose English is very good, was happy to answer questions.

Cons:

Nothing

The best magical cave hotel in Kapadokia
Pros:

We loved everything. It seemed to be in a Fairy tale. It's really a magical Place. We felt pampered by the owner and his staff. Breakfast was super. We had a family room with a main cave and two Little caves with the beds for the Kids. They loved It, well, we all loved It!
In reference to price, It was even cheaper for the service they offer.

Quiet and peace.
Pros:

This place is a very cosy place of stay. Mr Haydar was a super host. Very friendly and more than helpful. Would recommend this place very much. Breakfast was very homely. On our last day of stay, we had to travel early before the normal breakfast timing. Mr Haydar made sure we had a packed breakfast that we could take away on our journey.

Cons:

One of the heaters in the room was not operational. Though they tried to get it fixed, it could not be sorted during our short stay.

A special quiet gem to call home in Cappadocia
Pros:

An exceptionally cozy place, not only due to its quite setting, attention to details in the authentic decor, healthy breakfasts that are served from the stove, relaxing beautiful morning and evening views, comfy beds perfect for tired Cappadocia climbers, but also and foremost, due to its wonderful staff! Haydar has a special gift of managing the hotel like a stress-free home. Never a question or issue that isn’t addressed before you even asked, or within seconds. It’s a bit of a walk to town center, which is also reachable by a 3 minute inexpensive cab ride. Yet there is so much to see in Cappadocia and places to dine en-route, that we found it absolutely unnecessary to be bound to a lively location. On the contrary, after a full day of mind boggling sightseeing (also planned and organized for us by Haydar), it was a perfect place to call home and hibernate. Hope to return with all our five children! A special thank you to Haydar for a wonderful stay!

Lovely hotel with lovely people.
Pros:

We had an excellent stay here. Really wonderful people owning and working here! haydar was very welcoming and helped us with lots of tips on food and walks - as well as helping to organise transport when we needed it. They were super sweet to our daughter. The room itself was very comfortable and had two beds carved into the wall. We loved it here.

Cons:

nothing.

来てよかった
Pros:

・サービス:オーナーはとても温かいおじいちゃんです。夜遅い時間の到着でも、朝早い時間の出発でも出迎えてくれました。(オーナーの部屋がホテル受付と一体になっており、いつでも対応してくれます) タクシーを使いたいと相談すると、手配してくれます。空港シャトルバスも手配してくれます。(支払いはユーロです) 旅行中の予定をシェアしておくと、ツアーのお迎えが来た時など教えてくれます。
・朝食:最高です!サラダや果物やパンやチーズが食べ放題。自家製オレンジジュースもいただけます。また、スタッフがコーヒー紅茶を淹れてくれます。スタッフが卵料理は好みに合わせて作ってくれます。チーズ入りgozlemeも作ってくれます。希望があればテラスで食べることもできます。
・部屋:101号室に宿泊。ベッドは洞窟ベッド2つ、クイーンベット1つあります。洞窟ベッドは個室のような雰囲気で落ち着いて眠れました。部屋は広く、スーツケースも全く問題なく開けます。シャワーは少し時間が経てば温かいお湯が出ます。
・設備:それぞれのベッド横にcタイプのコンセントがあります。バスタオルも数種類置いてあり、翌日クリーニングされます。ドライヤーは設置されていますが、コンセントの刺さりが悪くコンセントを押さえながら使いました。パジャマはありません。シャンプーやコンディショナーは自分に合ったものを持参した方が良いかもしれません。(シャンプーとボディソープが用意されています)紅茶やコーヒーが用意されていて、お湯も沸かせます。
・雰囲気:ホテルの立地はユルギャップ繁華街から徒歩15分と少し離れていますが、落ち着いています。買い物は気軽に出来ないので事前に買っておきましょう。ホテル入り口までが急な坂で舗装されてないのでスーツケースは少しだけ頑張る必要があります(女性2人でしたが頑張れました)

Unique accommodation & lovely host.
Pros:

Gracious host and staff, delicious breakfast. Cute, homely atmosphere. Legit cave accommodation. My kids loved their own "rabbit holes" to sleep in. Unique experience. Quiet neighbourhood.

My son and I had a wonderful Cappadocian adventure and great CAVE-night sleep at Elkep Evi!
Pros:

Honestly, the entire experience exceeded my expectations! Haydar, our host, responded immediately to questions that I sent him. In fact, he even went out and bought gluten free bread for our breakfast when I told him that my son and I have celiac disease. He was waiting for us when we arrived and greeted us warmly! I looked at many hotels in the area. I thought the pictures of our room (Suite with Terrace) looked good, but they did not do the room justice! It was a beautiful room with a heated bathroom...and all of this comfort was packed into a cave...just like the ones that made Cappadocia famous.

Cons:

Urgup is difficult to understand with google maps. I suggest adding a street view image of the hotel to make it easier to identify as you arrive. This is really true for all of the hotels in the area.

Wonderful place. Bring a high clearance vehicle, or ask if the road has been fixed.
Pros:

Very nice staff. Adorable room with comfortable beds. Wonderful breakfast.

Cons:

We were thankful to have a four-wheel-drive in reaching the property. The road getting there is all chopped up from ongoing
construction.

Good value for money place to stay. Authentic native Cappadocian kind of ambience.
Pros:

It is not a hotel but a sort of a bnb hence it is unfair to expect a lavish spread. None the less, the cook there is excellent and made delicious eggs and pizza. The owner of the place Mr.Haider was very polite,friendly and helpful.He was on site 24hrs and took special care of us and provided us with whatever extras we needed. He also arranged for a personal guide Mr.Mustafa who took us around for a tour of important places in Cappadocia.You actually feel like you are staying in a cave but with modern day amenities and that is what makes your stay special.

Cons:

Approach road is paved with slightly irregular stones. Pathways are kind of steep.

A wonderful experience
Pros:

True hospitality! Nicely arranged cave room with a very comfortable double bed plus separate twin beds in their own little caves.
Beautiful shared yard with a great view. Tasty breakfast with freshly prepared dishes and the most welcoming and supportive hosts. We would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Only very minor details, strongly depending on what you are looking for. Not ideal for people with limited mobility or if you want to explore Ürgüp with kids without a car.

Excellent place to stay in Cappidocia!
Pros:

The hospitality of the staff was amazing. They actually made you feel like you are in your own home. Special thanks to Mr. Haidar for going out of the way to help and guide us.

Cons:

I stayed for 3 days hence I did not like that everyday we were having the same things for breakfast. A little variety would be wonderful.
