Unrivalled location within the heart of Goreme, Cappadocia's main tourist resort, with a plethora of restaurants catering to all tastes. We were grateful to have been upgraded to a 2-room suite which was spacious and beautifully appointed in a cave. The manager was attentive and helpful, offering recommendations for eating out, with 2 of the 3 restaurants associated with the hotel proving an excellent choice- Lalinda (international cuisine) and Dalchini (south ~Indian cuisine). We didn't try the third, Namaste. The breakfasts were unrivalled- home cooked and prepared with a wide variety of Turkish offerings, including delicious salads. Egg dishes were cooked to order. To avoid disappointment, we would highly recommend pre-booking balloon flights before visiting the area. We drove ourselves, with all main attractions being easily accessible by road.

Unavoidably, the pool was closed after a short cold spell; it opened as we left and looked very inviting.

We had a fantastic stay at Tekkaya Cave hotel. Our room and bathroom were spacious and everything was spotlessly clean. Breakfast each morning was great and included many homemade treats. The rooftop was absolutely stunning especially at sunrise and sunset and you may even see the balloons early in the morning. The staff were outstanding, very warm and hospitable. They organised our hot air balloon and day trip and everything ran smoothly. Make sure to book the balloon in advance as they fill up quickly. The location is great close to shops and restaurants and lastly it was a great bonus having a pool which was a welcome relief after a day of sightseeing. Thoroughly recommend staying here.

One of the best holidays ever and a large part of that was Tekkaya and the ladies that run it. We stayed in the family superior room that has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, given how cold it was outside it was always lovely to return to a warm and cosy room. As a vegan family I was worried about the breakfasts but the food was amazing, we had full plates of choice for all five breakfasts as well as almond milk. There was also a small fridge in the room, perfect for the vegan cheese and milk I had bough just in case. You can also enjoy the balloons from the roof terrace.

Nothing really although a small shelf in the bathroom would be useful and you have to be mobile as the breakfast room is at the top of the building via a couple of flights of outside stairs.

Our trip was absolutely perfect from A to Z. The hotel staff was amazing from the day before our arrival to the moment we left! They took care of everything for us : from arranging our transfers between the airport and the hotel, to booking and negotiating the prices for our activities, to making sure everyday that everything was okay and that we were enjoying every part of our stay. The hotel was charming, super clean and felt very homey. The rooms were spacious and the beds were really comfortable. Lastly, the view from the rooftop terrace was absolutely breathtaking! The hundreds of hot air balloons made sunrises magical every morning. The traditional turkish breakfast was included during our stay and it was fresh, tasty and varied a bit everyday. The staff in the kitchen made sure that we felt welcome and at home. Thank you to the amazing staff for making our stay so special, we couldn’t have asked for more! I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to visit Göreme and have the best experience possible!

Perfect location. The rooms were of good size with well-maintained facilities. The staff were extremely cordial and helpful. Maltep at the reception and as manager was very courteous and was always there to help. She helped us out with nearby places for dinner, sunset view and even hot air balloon tour. Breakfast was one of the highlight of our stay with so much variety and amazing but simple taste. Definite recommend to stay.

Beautiful cave rooms, very clean and very friendly staff.

The hotel is breathtakingly beautiful! The staff is amazing, friendly and extremely helpful and made us feel at home. Loved everything about our stay! A special mention to Duygu and Nessim for ensuring our stay felt like home and made us feel like we were a part of the community and made our stay feel special and even went to the extent of providing recommendations of things to get up to and places to go (even arranging on our behalf if that made our life easier). Can’t wait to return to our little community.

We had a family room on the ground floor so just a few steps to the pool. The pool made all the difference - somewhere to cool down and relax after a day’s activities. No bar but beer and cold drinks from the fridge by the pool. Staff were wonderful , very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious. Amazing views from the dining room and roof terrace. The location was perfect, right in the centre of Goreme and a few minutes walk to all the action. Recommend Burger Wine House for a break from Kebabs or Gurme Kebabs near the bus station if you can’t ever have enough kebab!

I think this is a Goreme thing not specific to the hotel but this is a tourist town and prices reflect it. 15 euros per person for a shared airport transfer (got it cheaper through booking .com for the way back and had our own people carrier). One bag of washing for 18 euros seemed steep. The balloon tour organised by the hotel - whilst obviously incredible - just consisted of going up and down and we could see all the other balloons gliding low above the ground and through valleys so we had some how-privileged-are-we balloon envy.

Great hotel, location was perfect, steps away from restaurants, shopping, etc. Viewing the ballons in the morning from the rooftop balcony was awesome. Note there are no signs that tell you where the balcony is or how to access it - but you go through the restaurant (it was unlocked) out to the lower balcony to access the stairs to the upper balcony. We did not figure this out until the second morning. Breakfast was great and held us over all day until dinner in the evening.

Room #14 (where we stayed) is directly below the restaurant. If you plan to sleep in in the morning or go to bed early at night, you will hear all the chairs and tables being moved around above you. Not really a complaint, just want folks to be aware of this particular room.

The location was excellent and the roof terrace gave beautiful views of the balloons in the morning. The bed was comfortable and the room was lovely and cosy and very clean. The rooms also have a fridge which was ideal for keeping our water cold in the heat! We loved meeting the resident cat, Kizim who was always around at breakfast. The staff were extremely helpful and polite at all times. The breakfast was also great with a lovely selection and fresh eggs made to order.

The shower in our room leaked at the bottom making the whole bathroom floor wet so we had to use one of our towels to soak up the water. A quick repair here with some filler would sort this out in no time. The toilet is also positioned quite close to the shower so if you are tall it's a bit of a tight squeeze, but I understand this is probably just due to the size of the room.
