The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the 'living museum' vibe and the sheer size of the suites, often calling it the best hotel in Cappadocia.
Kayakapi Premium Caves Cappadocia
$130-280 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want the bragging rights of sleeping in a UNESCO-protected cave without sacrificing Nespresso machines, heated floors, or a pool with a view.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- It's a restored historic neighborhood, not just a hotel building
- Cave rooms are genuinely massive and stay naturally cool/warm
- The view over Ürgüp from the pool deck is arguably better than the balloon launch sites
Stutt samantekt: A legitimate luxury village carved into a cliff that feels ancient until you hit the heated bathroom floors.
Farið yfir af @mettahara: I've stayed in many hotels, but sleeping inside a restored cave was on another level. My suite had its own pool and hamam, which made leaving the room impossible! It felt like a cozy, luxurious sanctuary away from the world. 10/10 would recommend for a romantic escape.
Gestur sem dvaldi hér sagði
Reality check
The walk to town is a steep decline (and a brutal incline back up), making the free shuttle essential for anyone not looking for a workout.
- You want a romantic, quiet escape away from the backpacker crowds of Göreme
- You appreciate history—each room is a restored house with its own backstory
- You love a good buffet breakfast with local honeycomb and cheeses
Hreinlæti og viðhald
9.7
- Housekeeping: Impeccable daily service; staff are known to leave thoughtful treats like chocolates.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Stone bathrooms are sealed and scrubbed; no mold issues reported despite the cave setting.
- Maintenance: Excellent. The restoration is high-quality; peeling paint or broken fixtures are virtually non-existent.
- Linens & towels: Plush, high-thread-count linens and thick towels appropriate for a luxury stay.
- Odors & scents: Fresh and airy; no musty 'cave smell' thanks to good ventilation systems.

- Room 114 (Başer Evi) - a 'Prime' room that feels like a suite with high ceilings
- Royal Cave Suites for massive terraces with valley views
Herbergi til að forðast
- Standard 'Prime Rooms' if you are claustrophobic—some have fewer windows and are deeper in the rock
- Rooms at the very top of the hill if you don't want to wait for a buggy

Ask for a tour of the 'museum' items—many rooms display original artifacts found during restoration.

If you buy wine at the nearby Turasan Winery, you can enjoy it on your private terrace.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The 'Prime Rooms' are the entry-level but are often darker than the photos suggest.
💡The walk to breakfast can be a 5-minute hike if your room is at the top of the complex.
💡The internet is spotty inside the caves; you might have to stand by the door to send a video.
💡Room service is available 24/7, which is rare for cave hotels in this area.
💡The 'neighborhood' feel is real—you are basically living in a restored Ottoman village.
