Hello, we were very pleased with the location of the Exedra Hotel, which we researched online, its cleanliness, the attentive staff, and the smiling faces. Thank you...

Very luxurious feel specially properly cave room . Breakfast is too good and overall property well maintained.

A decent hotel for a couple of nights. It's located far from Göreme, not easily accessible on foot, and transfers and taxis are outrageously expensive. The room has an interesting concept built into the cliff, but it's practically unventilated and full of dirt and dust, though quite spacious. There's an unpleasant sewer smell. The breakfast isn't very varied, but it's edible.

A very disappointing stay, we had such high expectations but sadly reality was far different.

Check in was fine, staff are ok, we had to ask them to show us around and they seemed annoyed to do so!

We were in three rooms, 603,604,605! The mould and slime on the wall in 604 was horrendous and we had to ask to move. They were not happy but it is unsafe to be in this room! There is black mould in the bathroom and a huge smell.

Breakfast is awful! See other comments! The staff do not greet you, they serve Brussels sprouts, onion rings, french fries and other random rubbish! We ended up having to eat out for breakfast every day we stayed. There is fortunately an espresso shop next door to get decent coffee.

Room service and turn down is abysmal! They cleaned our room and took our towels. When we asked for them to replaced we were told they had run out! We had wine and some yoghurt one day, three days later the empty and dirty bowls and glasses still remained in place.

The spa was nice but we got massages from two ladies who clearly were sick! They sniffed, coughed and spluttered throughout!

Went to use the gym and the staff were smoking cigarettes inside! Promptly left.

This is bordering a 2 star, it is no way a 4! We took it in our stride but it did dampen our trip considering how much we paid for this!!

Really nice hotel, happy with almost everything.

Only problem was that I booked double rooms for only one person each by mistake, while actually two of us were staying in each. Although while checking in they said it would be fine, they later messaged me asking for 250 euros extra for two extra people for three nights.

When I asked them how they calculated this, they couldn’t tell me. When I checked their website, it was only an extra 12 euros per person, per night. When I asked them about this, they immediately dropped the price to what I had found. I felt a bit like they had tried to scam me. That ruined my impression of the hotel a bit to be honest.

The hotel was excellent, far exceeding my expectations, and had a unique charm. The breakfast was also very good. I highly recommend staying here.

We stayed at Exedra Hotel for two nights and had a truly wonderful experience. The hotel’s layout felt like a maze—in the best way possible! We really enjoyed wandering through the charming corridors and stairways, and were genuinely impressed by the unique and stunning architecture.

Our room was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. Everything was clean and perfectly maintained.

The breakfast buffet was also fantastic, with a wide variety of delicious options. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful.

If we ever visit Cappadocia again, we’ll definitely choose this hotel again. Highly recommended!

The room is clean, the atmosphere and the hotel is amazing. It has really nice view.
The breakfast has a lot of choices.
But the location is a little bit unconvenient.
21.06.2025 Prem
Exceptionally rude staff. Bellboy was outright saying things like 'Don't bother me. Don't ask me' when we asked for basic assistance.
Jacuzzi and Sauna wasn't working during the entirety of our stay.
Housekeeping was an absolute joke. Only replaced the towels, readjusted the bedsheets and left. No sweeping or mopping, no taking out the trash.
The structure of the cave itself was also cracking and left crumbs on the floor. We called the reception to send someone to take care of it, but were just left waiting.
If you are only looking for a pretty spot for your instagram pictures, you got it. But if you actually look forward to the services and hospitality provided, you will be left utterly disappointed.
We also bought tour packages from them after carefully looking at their itinerary and confirming that they were places we hadn't visited on our own. (Didn't want to repeat the same locations). On the day of the tour, we were taken to completely different locations from what was advertised to us (places we had already been on our own and were purposely avoiding repeats). Wasted an entire day of our trip and left us feeling absolutely helpless with no compensation offered.
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!
