Beautiful cave hotel. Easy communication with owners.

Located in the very center of Ürgüp with all you need (restaurants, shops, travel agencies etc.) in short walking distance. The hotel itself covers at least part of a historic building. Our room was nicely furnished and had a lovely bath with a really spacious and modern shower comprising two separate shower units. The (british) lady running the hotel was very helpful (could arrange for a hot air balloon flight although completely booked out in the internet), provided ample information about the sights in the vicinity and gave useful tips on where to go and what to see. Breakfast was good and the breakfast terrace with its nice views a good starter into the day (well the start always was a little early (5 am), since the near by muezzin and its amplified morning prayer call was not to be overheard). We very appreciated our stay.

I had such an amazing stay at Cave Konak, I will certainly come back. The hotel is a beautifully restored set of ancient cave and above ground rooms, a stones throw from the towns shops and restaurants, with great views and packed with loving attention to detail throughout - from the eclectic mix of authentic ornaments and furnishings, the cave carvings designed by the owners, the lighting, to the type of locally sourced stone used in the excellent bathrooms; and with each room being unique (Co-owner Adnan proudly gave me a tour).The same care and attention is also extended to the guests, with every effort made to make your stay the best it could be. If youre fortunate enough to stay here, youll also find that the owners are exceptionally knowledgeable about the town (Urgup), Cappadocia, Turkey and all the rich history imbued throughout. After some casual but engaging chats with Adnan for example, I asked for a personal tour with him of an underground city in Nevsehir. My mind was blown by the knowledge he imparted. Not just at the city (which has to be seen to be believed), but also during the drive to/from the site via beautiful towns with unique history and character. I honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough and left with a feeling of warmth, friendship and an deep appreciation of thousands of years of history from the many civilisations that have influenced the area. An amazing experience. Stay here!

We had an excellent stay. Every thing was very clean and comfortable. View was great. Location : easy to reach every where.

Great experience, even in the snow! Adnan has a wonderful place and was very helpful. Not a breakfast person but did try the many wonderful homemade treats they serve.

It was a nice hotel. The stuff was very friendly. The beeakfast also nice. The room was a little bit cold (but its normal for a carve). The restroom was very big, modern and clean.

Good

This place was amazing! One of the best places weve stayed in a long time. Colleen and Adnan were both an absolute pleasure and so incredibly helpful. Colleens daily morning briefings for recommendations of places to visit for that day were perfect. Honestly could not recommend this place enough.

we were 14 days in cappadociaa and stayed in different hotels. cave konak (when its hot outside, book the cave suite:)) was the best.

This review won't be able to do full justice for how good the stay was here. Colleen helped me so much as soon as I booked my stay. I emailed back and forth with her to let her know everything I wanted to do in the area. She booked a Turkish Nights dinner, a balloon ride, a day tour and a trip to an underground city for me. I was probably a big pain (expecially since I was only able to stay one night), but she always went above and beyond to make my stay exceptional. On top of the wonderful service, the cave rooms at this hotel are amazing! If they had anything like this in the States, it would easily be a few hundred dollars per night. Instead, this hotel is priced very affordably and located in a great part of the downtown. It's a 2 minute walk to the bus stop so it makes it very easy to get here. If I ever make it back to Urgup, I will be booking at this hotel again. Thanks for a perfect experience!

Great hotel that is walking distance from town centre with lovely terrace to have breakfast on and a quiet sit in the afternoon. Own where very helpful and accommodating for our late check in. The draw back would be the early morning call to pray but once over roll over and go back to sleep. People with mobility problems may find stair hard to get up and down.

We booked this place because of the great reviews and those reviews were right! So many elements of the Hotel Konak are wonderful: the rooms are clean and full of character, the bed really comfortable, the shower great and the wifi very fast. Breakfast on the roof terrace was great as well. A full spread of meats, cheeses, olives, fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh bread, as well as eggs cooked to order (try the menemen—delicious!)The location couldn’t be any better. It’s right by the center of town and bus station, so there are plenty of restaurants and shops around. All of the famous Cappadocian landmarks are easily accessible from the hotel.As fellow hoteliers and independent travellers, we found the owners, Colleen and Adnan to be very friendly and professional when it came to giving information about local attractions and tours. They gave details of tours without being pushy and were very helpful and knowledgeable when we had questions about how to discover things on our own. Both owners made a real effort to ensure that all of their guests were fully satisfied.We were glad we decided to stay in Urgup, as it felt less plastic than Goreme; our stay at Hotel Konak was likewise a great decision.

I've traveled all over the world and this was one of my favorite hotels anywhere. It was really almost a perfect place to stay. The old stone building is a bit like a castle and the thick, stone walls kept my room a fairly constant and pleasant temperature day and night. I never had to use the air conditioner in June. The room and cavernous bathroom were spotlessly clean and comfortable. The bed was superb as was the WiFi throughout the hotel. The very pleasant roof terrace was a wonderful place for breakfast and to relax in the evenings with superb views of Urgup and the surrounding countryside. The breakfasts were also outstanding with homemade bread and jams, eggs made to order, cereal, and traditional Turkish breakfast fare. The hotel is located right by the main square of Urgup, which is a wonderful town. The location is just about perfect and extremely convenient to restaurants, shops, tour company offices, and public transport. I passed through Goreme, which has more tourists than locals, several times and I was very happy I chose to stay in Urgup.The staff was friendly and helpful. There are two things travelers should be aware of though. First there is a mosque across the street and the call to prayer is quite loud. I had no trouble sleeping though. This may not be a good choice for you if you have trouble with stairs. My in-suite bathroom was about five feet above my room, accessed by stone stairs. Stairs are also required to reach the terrace and upper rooms.

If you're looking to experience authentic Cappadocian hospitality while staying in a traditional cave dwelling, look no further! The hotel has been restored over to have modern amenities with spacious and comfortable rooms. The staff are very helpful with booking tours / arranging travel, and the breakfast provided is excellent. The hotel has a great terrace overlooking central Urgub.

Best hotel experience ever (and I've slept on all 7 continents and in 32 countries). I took a quick overnight with my father to fulfill my dream of seeing Cappadocia and Colleen and Adnan at Hotel Cave Konak made the entire experience perfect! Amazing rooms, unparalleled hospitality and perfect location. First, Colleen and Adnan are incredible hosts as others have stated. Colleen speaks english (native) and turkish and was able to coordinate our airport transfer, tour, balloon ride and anything else we could think of, I cannot express how easy and fun she made our short stay in Cappadocia. Utilize her knowledge and services and make your trip easier! For her hospitality alone I would strongly recommend the hotel. But Hotel Cave Konak is more than the kind and caring owners. The rooms themselves are simply amazing. My cave room was such a unique experience that cannot be replicated anywhere in the world and was exactly what I wanted (Byzantine room). My father stayed in a 1/2 above 1/2 below ground room which was also amazing (Ottoman). Check the hotel website for room descriptions but any room will delight. Location is perfect, near center of town and Urgup is not over touristy like Goreme (our tour crossed through Goreme about 10x in one day!), Urgup has a nice local, friendly and real feel. A hamam is across the street and grocery stores, restaurants and shops are around the corner. Other hotels I looked at in Urgup are about a 15 minute walk from these conveniences.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at Hotel Cave Konak and wished we were able to stay longer. Our cave room was beautiful, spacious and quite unique. The entire hotel has a beautiful old-world look and feel to it with distinctive architectural accents everywhere. If you're thinking of opting for the Breakfast package - do it! After eating your Turkish breakfast with the homemade jams and Pekmek on the rooftop terrace, you won't want to eat breakfast anywhere else. The breakfast is delicious and views from the terrace are amazing. The terrace is also a great place to end the evening with a bottle of wine enjoying the views and the cool air. Even more amazing than the hotel itslef, is the staff. Colleen and Adnan are exemplary hosts and their knowledge of the surrounding area is priceless. Every day after breakfast Colleen sat down with us to help plan our day of sightseeing. While I had done a lot of research on where to go and what to see, her "inside" knowledge and tips on places to go (some I hadn't even heard of) really made a difference. Colleen and Adnan are both very proud of the work they have put into the hotel, and rightly so. Adnan gave us a tour of some of the other rooms as well as parts of the hotel and caves still undergoing renovation. It was quite fascinating, and really gave us an appreciation of all the hard work that was put into transforming these old buildings and caves into something quite special. This was our favorite stay in all of Turkey.

Nice Staff, organized tour, awesome Hot air balloon , great room with great value and very delicious breakfast. Above all, great location and best hotel owner Colleen

We loved our experience at Konak Cave Hotel! The owner, Colleen, was incredibly helpful by email prior to our visit in terms of helping us get the most out of our visit to Cappadocia and our other destinations in Turkey. She recommended a wonderful tour guide and helped arrange a hot air balloon ride as well. The hotel was cozy and clean and included a full breakfast. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.
