Goede ligging, uitgebreid ontbijt, aangenaam terras. Wel veel trappen en lage plafonds.
Pros:

De locatie met het mooie zicht. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en lekker.

Cons:

Misschien wat meer ligzetels aan het zwembad plaatsen. Ook vermelden wat de maximale hoogte is. Mensen van 1m90 kunnen niet rechtop lopen.

Tutto sommato un piacevole soggiorno
Pros:

La posizione e’ meravigliosa, hai una vista su tutta Goreme. La nostra suite era molto spaziosa. Il receptionist Hero e’ stato gentilissimo ha esaudito ogni nostra richiesta. La colazione e’ varia e abbondante.

Cons:

E’ una struttura bella ma la manutenzione delle cave e’ poca. Appena arrivati nella nostra suite non c’era aria condizionata, la tavoletta del wc era divelta e alcune luci fulminate. Dopo aver riferito al receptionist si e’ prodigato ed il giorno dopo tutto era a posto, avevamo anche un codizionatore portatile che ha migliorato il soggiorno. Anche la pulizia della stanza migliorata. Dimenticavo i cuscini sono scomodi, troppo alti.

Pros:

Excellent Location and very good breakfast, don't miss it. Clean place with a pool

Cons:

All was well except that the standing fan in my room didn't work and I asked for a replacement and never got any but barring that I'd definitely recommend the place.

Check room facilities when you arrive.
Pros:

Central location. Helpful staff. Breakfast wide choice. Comfortable bed. Great view point to watch dawn balloons floating over Goreme.

Cons:

Probably because we were allocated a small room (208), there were NO chairs to sit on in the room. Only option was to sit on the bed. As the bed was at the far end, there were no lights illuminating that end of the cave (only floor lights), so it was difficult to read in bed.

Pros:

Posizione ottima, personale molto disponibile ad aiutare nelle escursioni

Cons:

Camera necessità di manutenzione, piccoli interventi in generale nella struttura farebbero la differenza. Colazione buona ma con un po' di succo di frutta, yogurt e frutta fresca comporterebbe a 360 ° l''offerta .

Pros:

La habitación, el hotel. Todo es increíble. Amamos el lugar. Buen desayuno.

Cons:

No es para más de 2/3 noches. Las habitaciones cueva tienen mucha humedad, incluso se nos humedecían las sábanas y la ropa de la valija. No nos podríamos haber quedado más noches pero las que estuvimos fue suficiente y creo que la habitación lo vale a pesar de la humedad. Amamos la terraza. El personal también muy amable.
