Beautiful hotel with views & amazing staff
Pros:

This was the most gorgeous accomodation of our trip but what made it really special was how wonderful our host Han was. He was so friendly and attentive, helped us with restaurant recommendations & made sure we were comfortable and relaxed our entire stay! We are so grateful for him & we would book this accomodation again! Also has wonderful rooftop area with incredible views.

Cons:

The staff, beautiful room, facilities, view & comfort.

Pros:

高いところにあるため、ロケーションが最高でした!
気球はホテルの近くを通ってくれるので、ビューポイントに行かなくてもとても満足できました!

Exceptional
Pros:

The staff are exceptional. Han, Ahmed, the whole crew goes over and beyond to make your stay comfortable. I injured my ankles. Staff made sure that I had a good supply of ice. Ahmed even drove me in his car to the airport shuttle so I dont have to make the steep downward trek. Thanks for helping us out.

Cons:

It may need some updating, maybe new mattress, pillows and beddings

Pros:

Our stay at Arif Hotel was truly special. Beyond its excellent location, the hotel offers some of the most beautiful views in the city, especially from its highest terrace, which makes the outdoor spaces absolutely unforgettable.

The breakfast was a wonderful surprise. Everything was of excellent quality, and we particularly appreciated that so much of it was prepared fresh, right when we arrived. However, what truly stood out throughout our stay was the exceptional attention and kindness of the entire staff.

We arranged all of our tours through the hotel, and they made everything incredibly easy and enjoyable. One of the highlights was the hot-air balloon experience with the butterfly balloons, which was absolutely unique and became one of the most memorable moments of our trip.

A huge thank you to the entire team at Arif Hotel for making our stay so special and for adding so many wonderful memories to our trip. We are truly grateful for all the care and attention we received and would happily return!

Gran atención y vistas espectaculares.
Pros:

Excelente la vista al atardecer desde la terraza de la habitación o del hotel mismo. La atención de Han fue excepcional dándonos todos los tips de turismo y gastronómicos. El desayuno está incluido y te sirven de toda variedad hasta que quedes saciado por completo.

Cons:

No hay nada realmente malo que decir del lugar ni de su atención, todos muy atentos.

Very value and view, lovely staff that really made the trip 100%!
Pros:

Very unique location, especially when we stayed in the fairy chimney! We had a good location for hot air balloon viewing, which made our trip even more special. All the staff were very attentive and made our stay even better. Breakfast is also the highlight of the tour with plenty of good local options and great coffee! I’ll definitely be back and share with my friends and family for this lovely hotel!

Brief stay so didn't get to fully experience what it offered
Pros:

Great cave room with little balcony and great view.
You are charged to go up the hill to the viewpoint, but if you tell them you are going to the hotel then you can go up for free. We ended up parking at the bottom though as there is very limited space.

Cons:

WiFi didn't work in our room. Shower was not the best. We had to leave fairly early for a flight so was going to miss breakfast, we didn't ask for it or expect it but the reception guy said he'd do us a takeaway box but then it never materialised.

Outstanding Service and Hospitality
Pros:

We had a truly 5 star worthy experience at Arif Hotel, surrounded by the magical fairy chimneys in Kapadokya. The panoramic room was beautiful, spacious, impeccably clean and had all the necessary essentials. The service was excellent, with everyone, especially Han being so attentive, accommodative and professional. He kindly allowed us an unpaid early checkin, was often offering us drinks and helped us plan our days.

The breakfast had at least 5 items made fresh on our arrival (gozleme, omelette, sausages, french toast, a turkish scrambled egg with peppers) as well as a variety of cheese, olives, bread and other items.

We had a truly wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a peaceful stay in the heart of Goreme.
