Pros:

La struttura, come tutta goreme, incantevole e suggestiva in quanto incastonato nelle pietre. Vicino al centro e ai locali. Colazione buona e assortita

Cons:

Il WC perdeva acqua e la. stanza è abbastanza stretta per 5 persone,. Pulizia lasciava a desiderare. Parcheggio scomodo.

Valie for the money, good location
Pros:

- Clean room
- Very good location
- Friendly staffs (helped us with parking and other things)

Cons:

- Breakfast (very little choice, there is not even yogurt served, tea selection is poor, coffee is instant coffee that you can make yourself)
- Breakfast is only served from 8:30, so if you need to leave early, the no breakfast
- The noise from other guests that you can hear (I guess it is common in cave accommodation)
The property has a lot of potential but I think there has been little care to it. To the owner: if you would improve the room, the terrace, surrounding and the breakfast (to offer more hot food and drinks options), I believe the property will be much liked in Cappadocia.

Nunca recomendaría este lugar
Pros:

No

Cons:

No es para nada lo que aparece en las imágenes, las áreas comunes súper descuidadas y sucias, la piscina sucia se veía verde, la habitación olía demasiado a humedad, ni hablar del baño olía demasiado desagradable, se le informó a la recepción que pusieran un ambientador y nunca hicieron nada.

Un lieu magique
Pros:

Le lieu est magique. Un cadre comme vous n’en trouverez nulle part ailleurs avec en bonus le spectacle des montgolfières au lever du soleil qui est memomrable . L’accueil à la réception est vraiment super. Toujours avec le sourire et de bon conseil . Le petit déjeuner était aussi excellent. Bref je recommande chaleureusement.

Cons:

Il y avait une petite remontée d’odeur dans la salle de bain la deuxième nuit sinon tout était parfait

Wonderful stay!
Pros:

- Location!!! I saw the hot air balloons from my balcony!
- The rustic yet clean cave house feel
- The buffet breakfast
-The friendly staff

Cons:

- Nothing really except be mindful if you're carrying heavy luggage. It can get very difficult while climbing up to the top rooms through the narrow staircases.

Pros:

La atención del encargado, MARAVILLOSA. Llegamos antes de de nuestro chek-in y nos invito a ir a desayunar, dejamos las valijas en la recepción y nos asignó una habitación antes de nuestro horario de check-in.Tuvimos un incidente en una excursión y se ocupó absolutamente de todo, recuperar nuestro dinero, asistirnos sobre un inconveniente de salud. Una persona muy amable que hizo todo lo necesario para que estuviéramos tranquilos y bien.
El hotel es bellísimo, tiene una excelente ubicacion,la habitación, las terrazas hermosas, y el desayuno abundante, variado. Solo tenemos palabras de agradecimiento para él y todo el personal del hotel. Gracias Cecilia y Gabriel.

Cons:

Nos gustó todo!!
