Atilla's Cave Hotel

cleanliness breakfast room

parking is not convenient ... way down hill.

The ambience and atmosphere is good

The beddings and pillows to be changed. They are a bit damaged and will make your neck go sprained

Very nice hotel located in a non-touristy section of Nevsehir. The room was a well-furnished cavern. The hotel restaurant was very good and convenient (we ate both breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant). The buffet breakfast was excellent; highly recommended before setting out on a full day Cappadocia tour. The hotel staff was helpful and efficient.

Everything was good; the hotel exceeded my expectations.

This was the best hotel we had in Turkey. The breakfast was plentiful, different every day with lots of homemade delights The staff were great, welcoming and accommodating. The facilities were good and the room was comfortable. Everything was perfect. Many thanks to Shaima, her team, reception and catering staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Atillas Cave Hotel

Nothing we didn't like

The breakfast had a lot of choices, which was nice, but didn't start until 8:30am. Because this area is so crowded, if you get to attractions after 9am there are a ton of people. Their breakfast should start at 7:30.

Booking had our room listed as with A/C. When we arrived, we were told we had booked a room without A/C, although it clearly listed A/C on my confirmation. What ensued was a difficult conversation with the employee who only spoke Turkish, and us going back and forth with a translator. I witnesses this translation happening with other customers as well. They had a lot of Turkish clients with children, so maybe they aren't interested in having more Western clients, as most of the staff did not speak English. They did end up switching us to a smaller room with A/C, but never apologized and actually never even talked to us after that. We did not feel well taken care of. Additionally, the location is near nothing, no restaurants, etc. Honestly no reason to stay there.

Breakfast was ok, the selection was quite limited (no fruit for example). Location isn’t bad.

Our room had no air conditioner. Booking.com says in the facility list for the hotel that there is ac, but only half the rooms do. Ours did not. I see in the description of the room that it does not state ac, but booking.com should do a better job of notifying that some rooms have them and some don’t. I was looking for the number of beds in the room description not if there is something different than what is stated in the general section of the hotel.

Atilla and his team are amazing, such a joyful and genuine experience. The food was fantastic and meet other travelers. We had a cave room, super nice and comfy. We were initially scared by humidity but actually was perfect as had a/c. For sure I’m gonna suggest to any of my friends to go there if they ever go to Cappadocia.

Was everything perfect!

The room was beautiful, the staff were fantastic and the breakfast served each morning was amazing. When we arrived around 11am, they allowed us to drop off our bags early and even made us some breakfast which was wonderful. We ate in for dinner one night which was also great. The hot tub in our room worked well and despite it snowing while we were there, the room was really warm. It was easy to get to Goreme by bus but I would recommend a moped or car while staying here.

The hot tub and shower could have done with a bit of a deep clean as a result of the ground water used in the area I imagine.

We loved this hotel. Family run, environmentally conscious and really well thought through. It felt like staying at an auberge, where the family and staff live as well. The breakfast and homemade dinners were superb. The children were invited to see newborn kittens in the basement, which they adored. Beds are very comfortable, lovely spacious room, well decorated.

Just a couple of little bits like the shower head needed replacing.

The male staff member that helped check us in, was excellent (he was on the night shift for the duration of our stay. He was able to get us on a Hot air balloon ride for the next day, and helped us organize the tours we wanted to participate in. The female staff during the day were unable to speak English, which was difficult to ask basic questions. The rooms are very cool and spacious and the bed was comfy!

The coffee machine never worked when we went to get a coffee, but they did have instant. The breakfast was average, but the staff seemed like we were just in there way every time we went up to get food. Our room also had a weird musky smell to it, so we slept with the door open for fresh air and to cool the room down. The location of this hotel is far from Gerome, which is where tourists would typically want to be for tourist spots, shopping, bars and food etc. It was 700 lira each way everytime we wanted to go to town, so I wish I would of known to stay IN Gerome.

Very friendly staff, breakfast was great.

It’s a little far from tourist attractions, not many restaurants near by.

I realy loved the place. When we first enter the place was like a magical experience for us. A marvellous stay within a budget aswell. The hosts are really kind and helpful they helped us with everything. When we reached at the place we were famished and we asked if we could get any food. I am an Indian and pleasing our taste buds is not an easy task. Best turkish food we ever had on the whole stay in turkey as well. I had breakfast in morning aswell. The breakfast here is also fabulous, (its buffet) even if u are full you would want to eat more. I would recommend anyone to book this place without any haste. 10/10 ? Thanks Atilla for the wonderful place!!!

The hotel is very cosy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is great too. I would love to stay at the hotel again

Atmospheric, friendly staff. The breakfast was very tasty and traditional. Location was ok to get to all touristic places, however the town itself wasn’t too exciting.

4 bed room we’ve stayed in seemed like it hasn’t been cleaned. It was very dark inside despite of the few lamps available. However they were mostly in one corner of the room. We’ve visited in February and despite switching off all of the radiators the room was very warm and dusty, which made it difficult to have a good night sleep.

The stay and hospitality was amazing. They make you feel welcomed as a part of their family and will help you with all your needs. The kitchen and dining space is especially quite nice. You can get to learn to make the local cuisines along with the family and try various Turkish delicacies. Food undoubtedly is amazing and much better than what you'll get at outside restaurants. The property is quite big with open spaces and terrace and the rooms are spacious and well ventilated with all amenities.

The property is located in Nevsehir which is slightly away from the main tourist center of Cappadocia which is Goreme. This can be good thing for some as you get to be away from the crowd and noise and get a homestay experience with amazing hosts, but can be a negative for some as there isn't much to do around the area if you want to explore the local markets, etc. and walk around at night. We absolutely didn't mind the location, so it was a wonderful experience for us.

I appreciated that the hotel was situated in a village, rather than in a more touristy area, which tends to be overpriced and less genuine. I enjoyed the warmth, authenticity, and simplicity of the experience. That said, the room far exceeded our expectations—it was one of the most comfortable accommodations I’ve ever had.

The reception staff was helpful, though they could have been a bit more welcoming and warm. I also think the breakfast tea could be improved, as it didn’t have the usual clear, transparent "ghazal-blood" tone; instead, it was cloudy and didn’t taste very good. While I didn’t join the cooking classes, I felt their pricing could be made more reasonable—1100 TL for just a couple of hours seems definitely overpriced. I would have appreciated a village-sourced sausage in the eggs instead of the supermarket kind, to better align with the hotel’s theme and overall atmosphere

the hotel had a good breakfast.the hotel staff was very friendly and accommodatingthe rooms were very clean and had heaters

the wifi kept disconnectingthe surrounding entrance to the hotel seems like you were entering a war zone

The food was excellent, the room very nice, clean and comfortable. Cem was our tour driver and İ was with my two young daughters and he was extremely helpful, polite and kind. The other staff also helped us to arrange the hamam and a balloon chasing tour with Atilla. The kitchen staff prepared a lovely homemade dinner every night.

İ was overall extremely satisfied with the hotel and staff.

Our stay was amazing! The room was clean, and everything we needed was provided. The staff was incredibly kind, and we even had the chance to meet the hotel owners. They were very hospitable and generous. After we returned from our trip the next day, they welcomed us back to the hotel even though we weren’t staying that night, also the owner’s wife prepared lunch for us and later took us to the mall and çarşı. Their hospitality and kindness were truly exceptional.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike

The breakfast was by far the best we had in Turkey in a hotel. High quality produce, lovely display and big spread. The room was comfortable and cozy. The outdoor spaces were nice to hang out in.

The room faces the courtyard and the noise of people speaking can be a bit disturbing. Also very thin curtains don't provide enough privacy and let in a lot of light.Do your own hot air ballon bookings. Do not rely on the hotel. The rates keep changing and if you wait for when you arrive, you might find it just too expensive. We didn't eventually get to do them. The hotel is very far from the Kayseri airport and we had booked a shuttle which dropped at the very end at it is that far so took 2 hours & reached at 1 am after landing at 10 pm. The main touristy part is also far. We were happy to be away from that but the airport was very far.
