Description

Hezen Cave Hotel, established in 2011, is a distinctive boutique hotel carved from stone, reflecting the architectural heritage of early Cappadocian Christians. Located in Ortahisar, the hotel offers 15 rooms spread over three floors, all featuring cave-style designs that blend historical charm with modern amenities like air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Guests enjoy spacious, well-maintained rooms including family suites and standard rooms with views of the Ortahisar Castle. The hotel runs a restaurant and bar with Anatolian dishes, and provides practical services such as 24-hour front desk, laundry facilities, free parking, and bike rentals. Many travelers praise the attentive and hospitable staff who enhance the peaceful atmosphere, making it an excellent base for exploring Cappadocia's unique landscape. Note that the hotel is about 34 km from Nevşehir-Kapadokya Airport, so transportation arrangements are essential.

Location

Hezen Cave Hotel is situated in Ortahisar, a quiet town known for its 12th-century Ortahisar Castle, just 218 meters away from the hotel. The Ethnographic Museum, located 127 meters from the property, offers insight into local traditions and crafts. Nearby dining options include Halkın Çay Evi at 118 meters, Kapadokya Çay Evi at 168 meters, and Damla Çay Salonu at 175 meters. The hotel lies roughly 34 km from Nevşehir-Kapadokya Airport and 229 km from Esenboğa International Airport (ESB). Guests should note that public transport options are limited, so arranging a car rental or taxi is recommended for exploring the region.

Tips

  • Consider renting a car to explore Cappadocia conveniently, as the hotel’s location is quieter but less accessible by public transport.
  • If you require vegan food options, plan ahead since the hotel restaurant offers very limited choices.
  • Take advantage of the free bike rentals and the laundry facilities to extend your stay comfortably.

Just okay. The rooms are cute. Don’t book for the “Michelin” restaurant - not sure what earned them that but it must have been a previous chef/menu. Also absolutely no vegan breakfast options other than a piece of bread and fruit. Not very Michelin-level. Very basic amenities and food. Not worth it as you will be far removed from anything in Cappadocia and will need a taxi to get anywhere - they will call the taxi and it will cost a pretty penny for any place you want to go. Their taxi driver will also end up charging double once you complete your trip. Stay in Goreme, it is not too crowded and while traveling it is good to be somewhere lively with more than one (terrible) restaurant. Not very helpful in making sure you make the most of your Cappadocia stay so make sure you know every single thing you want to do and see. It is very necessary to have the taxi take you around but dont expect it to be an actual day tour like they advertise as it is a literal taxi, he does not speak English or explain where you are, will take you on aide quests to friend/family businesses and it will delay your other tours so say no when you want to because sites close at 6pm.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. They took great care of us, and the hotel's location allowed us to choose different routes each day. I would happily stay at the Hezen Cave Hotel again.

great staff and views from the property

More than a stay, it's an experience.
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.

Amazing hotel and excellent service
29.08.2025 Carolyn
Best part of our trip!
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!!!

Excellent service and facilities. The hotel's terrace restaurant offers stunning views. On our first evening, we all enjoyed dinner and drinks on the terrace, engaging in lively conversations about life – isn't that truly what travel is all about?
05.08.2025 Guest
The food was excellent, and the ambiance was great. The only minor issue was that the room felt a bit damp.
04.08.2025 Dhaval
Our stay at Hazen Cave Hotel was truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were incredibly courteous and helpful throughout our visit. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home.

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've stayed all over the world even in hotel with room costing thousand dollar a night, but this hotel so far has demonstrated a level of hospitality and care we haven't seen elsewhere. The Michelin nod is so well-deserved

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
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
