Cappadocia Cave Suites is a boutique cave hotel in the Gafferli neighbourhood of Göreme, the village that most visitors choose as their base. It has built a strong name among travellers, with more than a thousand guest reviews and consistently high scores, and the reasons are easy to see. Breakfast is included and cooked to order rather than laid out as a buffet, the hotel has its own restaurant, NANA Cappadocia, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is also a coffee shop and a bar. The property has a terrace, a garden and a library, which gives guests places to sit quietly after a day of sightseeing, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. Parking is free, and the hotel even offers free pickup from the train station, with an airport shuttle available on request for a fee. Rooms are carved into the rock or built in stone in the traditional style, and the hotel lists eleven room types, from a standard double and junior suite to family, signature, king and presidential suites, and a suite with a hot tub. There is no swimming pool, so it suits travellers who want a characterful room and good food rather than resort facilities.
Location and getting around
Göreme is the hub for balloon pickups, quad tours, restaurants and bus connections, and a hotel in the village puts you within walking distance of the cafés and the main street. The Göreme Open-Air Museum is a short drive or a longer walk away, and most day tours collect from hotels in the village.
For the airports at Nevşehir and Kayseri, ask the hotel about transfers, which are available on request for an extra charge. Hillside streets in Göreme are steep and uneven, so check the room location if stairs are a problem.
Rooms and who it suits
The range of suites makes the hotel useful for different budgets and groups, from couples in a standard double to families in a family suite that sleeps four, and honeymooners who want a suite with a hot tub. Check-in begins at two in the afternoon and check-out is at eleven, so plan luggage storage if your flight is late.
Pets are not allowed. The hotel is best for adults and families with older children, since cave rooms involve steps and uneven floors, and it is a good choice for those who value food and service over a pool.
Good to know
Book early for the busy months, and ask for a room with a terrace or balcony if you want to watch the balloons from your door. Free cancellation applies to selected rates only, so read the terms before you pay. The cooked-to-order breakfast is a highlight, so allow time for it rather than rushing out for a pickup. In winter, cave rooms keep a steady, cosy temperature, though you should confirm the heating when you book, and the restaurant is a welcome place to eat after dark.
