Century Cave Hotel

Pros +

• True Cave Hotels can be prohibitively expensive, but Century Cave Hotel while not exactly budget is a reasonable proportion. Our double bed was in an outer built room, but tucked away behind was a single bed in a true Cave. The bathroom occupied another upper corner, so the room was enjoyably quirky. Century can also arrange for the full suite of Cappadocian trips. We got a low season bargain balloon ride, and arranged for far-flung trips to Soganli, Gumusler, Nigde, Ihlara, Aksaray and Azkarahan...at a price of course. But best of all, a wonderful Turkish breakfast, little in the way of meat, but so much much more otherwise. Look for the special cake/pastry that hides amidst all other offerings. It's different daily, and you likely won't have tried it anywhere else before.
• Definitely recommended for your holiday or city trip. Wonderful to wake up with the hot air balloons that you can see. Restaurants and shops within walking distance. Everyone is so friendly and the rooms are also beautiful.

Cons -

• Century doesn't have the prettiest frontage. Too many parked vehicles hide its facade, and a new breakfast terrace was being tiled for 3 of our 4 days, but we were able to catch the fairy chimney view on our last day. Probably a tour group was staying one day, so we had no seats at breakfast once. You'll have to drag bags up a steep staircase. Our tour driver might have wanted to curtail some of the sites we had wanted to see, citing time constraints, but be firm with him.
