Reviews
Words cannot express what a wonderful place this is!
As fellow hoteliers, the amount of care, hard work and meticulous attention to detail that went into creating every aspect was not lost on us. Rooms are all spacious and absolutely beautiful. Food is delicious. Service is warm and personable. The experience you have here far exceeds the price point.
We stayed 4 nights but could have easily stayed a week.
Book it. You won't be disappointed.
We absolutely loved this hotel. It was away from the crowded conditions in Goleme but still situated amongst caves and with a beautiful view of a cave castle within walking distance. The room was comfortable, the restaurant had great food and the staff were very helpful. Loved it!!!
The rooms were spotless—beautifully maintained with attention to detail, and the cave-style design added such a unique and cozy charm. Everything felt fresh and clean, and the thoughtful touches in the room made it feel more like a home than a hotel.
The overall ambiance of the hotel was peaceful and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Cappadocia. We can’t thank the Hazen Cave Hotel team enough for their kindness and care. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, warmth, and authentic Turkish hospitality.
We were so impressed with the different receptionists in day and night shifts, who seem to be very diverse, in terms of age and gender. It gives off a feel of a very international and modern establishment, when it's uniquely situated just across the Ortahisar castle that's very ancient and the town itself that's quaint
Each of the staff was super helpful and was willing to go extra mile to ensure our comfort during the stay. They proactively thought of small details that matter
In our first day, we arrived too early for check-in time. We were able to join other guests for breakfast, do our laundry in the laundry room and then went out the whole day to explore the region. They offered for our luggage to be sent to our room when we were away so that we can come back to our room ready with our luggage already inside. It was a surprise for us to learn that they've changed our room from a cave room to other room but it was actually done with our comfort in mind seeing that we arrive during some of the hottest days in summer and the room that we booked didn't have AC
In our last night, they were aware that we're planning to have second attempt on hot air balloon ride in the early morning before we go to airport to catch a 10AM flight. They offered to settle all bills that night and have our luggages be in the car when we're back from the balloon ride so that we can hit the road to go to the airport on time. It's so freeing to know that the hotel is there to help you sort your plan
Food-wise, the breakfasts and the dinner that we had in the hotel were amazing. The dinner especially was very unique with some Anatolian dishes that we've never seen elsewhere
We're specifically looking to stay here to be away from Goreme's hustle and bustle. That might not be for everyone (as some people will prefer to be close to the center of action). But getting around is easy when you rent vehicle (the rate in Cappadocia is quite affordable and can be delivered to the hotel's outdoor car park). And if you have any tour activity, including hot air balloon ride, the pickup ride is typically just 10 mins ride away to Goreme
