We enjoyed our stay at SOTA at Urgup very much - exceeded our expectations! Very comfortable, peaceful and was an excellent convenient location to explore the many attractions in Cappadocia. The owner was indispensable in helping us come up with an excellent itinerary customised to our priorities. She also helped arranged for a private car and driver at reasonable rates. As a result we experienced the best of what Cappadocia has to offer. Very warm, welcoming and helpful management and staff that's only found in a small owner operated boutique operation. Breakfast each day is full of fresh delicious options with a gorgeous view on the terrace. We would recommend staying at SOTA Urgup to explore the sights of Cappadocia with a restful environment after a tiring day of activities, then followed by a couple of days in Goreme to experience the sights of the hot air balloons and hustle & bustle of night life in Goreme.

Like many hotel accommodation with great views, there is a little bit of an uphill climb to get to. But well worth the effort!

Our stay at SOTA was nothing short of extraordinary. Nil (the owner) is an incredible woman who goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. She assists in planning your days, making reservations, and helps with anything you might need—always with a kind and genuine demeanor. My husband visited Cappadocia in 2018 and he had only good things to say about Nil and SOTA so we booked the same hotel again and it was above my expectations. The hotel itself is a masterpiece of design. The interiors are stunning, combining the unique charm of a cave with modern comforts. Everything was impeccably clean and comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cappadocia!

I Have been a hotel designer for 20 years and have a passion for boutique hotels. After seeing SOTA online, it stood out amongst a large list in Cappadocia. I have to say that after staying, I have rarely seen any property so fully offer both a perfectly curated design and atmosphere that also exceeds all service expectations. Every angle offers a beautiful view or authentic detail. The morning breakfast was a fresh, craveable assortment of local ingredients and food. A wide variety of a la minute omelettes added an additional level of hospitality and service hard to find in even the mot expensive of luxury boutique hotels. Homemade baked goods such as plumb cake and light cacao pastry were a daily joy and many ingredients were sourced from local house gardens. Hands down the best food of my trip. The service of the staff is remarkable, offering you anything you need at any time in passing and accommodating requests graciously. I can honestly say that they left no request over fulfilled in my week long stay. Nil the owner is an exemplar in hospitality, both offering detailed and well selected experiences that are tailored to your specific expectations of your time. She eliminates the hassle of sorting through tours and helps you navigate what villages you might like best and who offers the best drivers, food, ceramics, the list goes on. What makes it unique is that she offers the guidance of someone with impeccable taste who listens first to what you want from your trip before offering thoughts and options. She does not benefit from the service and only recommends she personally trusts. In summery, this is the best boutique hotel find that I have stayed with in over a decade. I had planned to stay two days and extended to seven for this property alone. I rarely write reviews on booking, but this one is well deserved! Thank you to Nil and her amazing team for making Cappadocia a truly unforgettable experience.

We liked everything about SOTA. The hotel and each room are beautifully designed and thoughtful in every details. Location is perfect. However, what made our stay truly exceptional was the kindness of the hosts. Nil helped us arrange the perfect experience during our stay and gave us recommendations for areas of Cappadocia we would have not discovered otherwise. She even prepared a take-away breakfast for our early 4am flight back and sent some postcards for us - as we did not have the chance to send ourselves. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!

SOTA is possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed. The care with which they handle their guests is exceptional. The food is amazing and the premises is immaculate. I cannot recommend it enough.

There is nothing not to like! We were welcomed like old friends and it felt like I already knew NİL from her what’s app messaging and verbal messages. The property is so stylishly designed and laid out, it is tastefully curated through out and attention to detail shows everywhere from the authentic service to presentation of the breakfast. Beyond the property the information and individual tours Nil created for us allowed us to see and understand Cappadocia in a way a generic tour never can. A special shout out to Yunus for taking such good care of us, and keeping us hydrated with water and wine! Do not hesitate to stay here you will create lifetime memories and leave a little of your heart in SOTA Cappadocia.

Our stay at Sota Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip to Turkey!!!! The accommodations in the cave rooms were gorgeous and unique, but what made it the most special was Nil (the owner) and her amazing staff. From our arrival when we were given snacks and drinks on the rooftop with a beautiful view of Urgup to the most delicious breakfast, to Nil sitting down every morning with us to help us plan our days, to her even packing us a picnic lunch when we left - it was wonderful and the most connected we felt to Turkey! And we learned a lot from Nil and feel like we made a new friend. Also, we were really glad we chose to stay in Urgup and think it’s the best city to stay in Cappadocia!

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Owner and staff so friendly, gracious and helpful. All spaces decorated thoughtfully and with sophistication, but comfortable. Breakfast was incredible. Fresh, local, enormous variety. I would love to return.

Out of our whole trip of 2 weeks this was the most unique hotel with the best host we've ever encountered all over the world! The owner Nil attends to you as if you are a VIP client and she even arranged our balloon flight and went over and beyond when it got cancelled cause of the wind to ensure we have the experience we came for. She organised a tour for us that suited our interests and tume frame The rooms are magnificent and the most spacious we've stayed at in Turkey. The view from the breakfast room are just incredible and mesmerising. Their breakfast was the absolute best! Thr egg salad & omelettes are to die for! I can't fault anything and it exceeded our expectations. Will definitely return to this amazing place and Nil makes you feel like family. It is a brisk walk to town and as in the whole of Turkey lot's of steep walking up and down but we enjoyed the exercise. Fabulous stay!

Honestly Sota isn't a hotel it's an experience. It's basically like having a tour guide/best friend/family in your hotel. Nil helps you plan all your days, you can turn up with no idea about Cappadocia and leave having fallen in love. The whole team and staff are lovely. Not to mention the amazing breakfast 🤤🤤
