Lage, Ausblick

Das Bad hat erst stark nach Putzmittel und dann nach Schimmel gerochen, überall Kalk im Bad, nicht wirklich sauber. Frühstück war nur okay.

Pros:

Bon emplacement mais piscine non chauffée et très froide même en septembre. Petit dej sans plus et surtout la chambre m’a été loué alors que la salle de bain était en piteuse état il y avait toute la faillance autour de la baignoire cassée et à même le sol. Il fait très humide dans la chambre

Buena ubicación a buen precio
Pros:

Excelente ubicación y vista a los globos. Desayuno completo. Linda terraza. Nos permitieron dejar las valijas.

Cons:

El acceso a la habitación que nos tocó en la terraza era un poco incómodo con las valijas, el baño no tenía un cerramiento completo en la ducha por lo que se mojaba todo. En nuestro caso no fue posible hacer el check in antes aunque leí reseñas que otras habitaciones más caras si habían podido hacerlo.

Magical
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at shoestring! This hotel is in a perfect location in close proximity to town, with amazing views of Goreme. You can sit on the terraces in the morning and watch all of the hot air balloons at sunrise and the view is breathtaking. Amir was soooo funny and extremely helpful. Whenever we had questions he was always more than happy to help. His English was great and we had so many chats and laughs - he makes you feel so welcome. He arranged a private ATV tour for us, and put us onto good contacts. When there was an issue with our showerhead it was no issue for him - he had it fixed straight away and it was no invconvenience. The rooms were unique, the bed was comfy, and the pool area was a great place to relax. The cocktails were delicious too! We really enjoyed the variety of the breakfast spread. Overall we felt so welcome and would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Goreme!
