Firstly the plus points … staff were very nice and helpful with advice, breakfast was lovely with a nice outside space to eat and if you can get up early which I recommend a great viewing spot for watching the Ballons at 5am. The hotel is great to access the centre as well as being able to walk to some of the valleys and the open air museum … Some of the not so good .. the room was a little small and shower not great and only 1 plug socket in the room (apart from another one on the bathroom) which had to be used for everything including boiling the kettle which had to be placed on the floor to be able to do this… we still had an amazing time and loved cappadocia..

Great stay and location!

Excellent location.. 6 minute walk to the Blue Mosque. Clean rooms and nice views. The only negative is that the walls are paper thin and you will be able to hear everything , and I mean everything that goes on in the next room.
