Had a lovely 5 night stay at Elaa Cave Hotel. Great base for walking into Ortahisar and getting around the region. Stunning castle views from the rooftop terrace. With an early morning flight into Kayseri, having check in from midday was great. Stayed in Rm 55, which in the photos looks like a double but was two singles pushed together. This wider bed made the room feel small. Bed was extremely comfortable. Great to have a fridge and hanging rail, although a few more hangers would have been useful. Delicious buffet breakfast with plenty of choices. Staff was very welcoming, helpful and accommodating. Would stay again and highly recommend.

We were unlucky and got a bad unit. We didn't know about it on the first night. The unit had humidity issues. Bad funky smell in the bathroom. Bad smell in the entire unit. Ceiling kept falling apart and little bits and pieces of rock and sand kept dropping to the ground. We were with a group of friends, and our other room was fine. I'm pretty disappointed because this room was marked as the better and bigger room but it was worse - we couldn't use the couch because there were always sand and rocks falling on it, and it would be dirty

Beware of references from reception.
Please make sure not to use the local taxi number provided at the reception. The Taxi driver usually takes longer routes to charge more. Horse riding services were decently priced. Others not so much. During my trip I stayed in another 4 star hotel in Goreme and they provided more reliable services

My best friend and I both stayed at the Elaa cave hotel for two nights and had the BEST time ever. The manager is SO sweet. She helped accommodate anything and everything that we needed, from providing food when we first entered and sat on the beautiful terrace to helping arrange for a taxi when we were running late to the airport and couldn’t find one. She also provided extra water bottlers and was in touch with us 24/7 for anything that we needed or came up. She is the sweetest person and our stay at the cave hotel was amazing. The room is actually pretty warm/good temperature (which is exactly what we needed as we heard cave hotels can get cold!). We both highly recommend everyone to stay here! The taxi driver was super kind as well.

short staffed on every area
stayed for 3 nights, when we arrived around 6 pm, there were some hiccups, but the lady eventually found my reservation and told me, my room is on another street,( they now have 2 buildings) and I will need to walk 5 minutes to the main building for breakfast. which is fine. however, when she show me the room, it was very dusty and had a damp mold smell, one of the beds doesn't even have bed sheet on. That is no AC, so I requested a fan to keep the fresh air. I understand most of the cave room has dust and dampness problem but after I saw the room next to mine, the room was ready-made and cleaned, I then realized the hotel wasn't aware of my reservation for today. it's a beautiful hotel, but short-staffed. breakfast is ok, it's kind of messy because they aren't enough tables. nice people, but I won't return again

Great cave hotel
I really had a great experience staying at the Elaa cave hotel. My room (51) was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was perfect and the service exceptional. The hotel terrace has an amazing view and it was fantastic to be able to have a tea and watch the sunset there after a long day touring the region. All the tours I took picked me up right there at the hotel, so it was very convenient.

Elaa Cave Hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel that has been carefully designed and staffed to ensure that your stay feels like an experience of 'home with a heart'. The hotel interior and spacious cave rooms are designed with a great eye for detail and class. The rooms have a relaxing ambience and are decorated not only to appeal to an avid eye with their original and beautiful rugs and cushions (from Ruth's impressive Tribal Collections Nomadic Rugs in nearby Goreme) but with a range of practical items such as a comfortable bed, a fridge, a digital television, toiletries, towels and slippers. There is also a vast and tranquil rooftop terrace where with gorgeous panoramic views! Ruth (owner) is highly welcoming and knowledgeable, and will happily assist you with matters such as local recommedations, transfers and excursions bookings. Sweet Nerca will also be your host over a deliciously fresh Turkish spread for breakfast, or to assist you with daily cleaning and anything you may 'need'. Walk through the captivating valley that begins just paces from the hotel - here is a sure place to capture a display-worthy. The quaint town centre is just a very brief walk and you can enjoy a cheap coffee, some nuts from the stalls or visit the Ortahisar Castle. Goreme is also easily reachable by a brief car journey or 45-50 minute walk to take in the scenery (just 25 YTL each way). I unreservedly recommend the beautiful Elaa Cave Hotel and its special owners and great staff. ♥️
