Abu Hayat Cave Suites

The best hotel I’ve ever stayed at! Do not pass this place up. Fatma are her sister are some the kindest people we’ve met. We had a family vacation with our toddler here and stayed in the Sultan suite. Absolutely beautiful and clean with an amazing view and cool cave patio. Everyday Fatma or her sisters make the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had! Only about a 10 minute drive to Goreme and 5 minute drive to Red Valley. Thank you Fatma and your sister for such lovely hospitality. I hope we can return again soon.

Very nice staff, excellent breakfast

Hotel is located at a side of a hill, so shuttle or taxis wont park at the front, you must walk 100mts to get there. The town has just a few options of restaurants and shops. You have to take a taxi to go around, it is easy to get it and not expensive. Uber works. Staff is really gentle and rooms are big, you will really live the turkish culture.

Fatma was a lovely host. She was helpful and always cheery. The breakfasts were nice Turkish style breakfasts (al fresco) which was nice. The hotel was small with 7 individual rooms. We were in the Sultan suite which was very interesting and tastefully decorated. It was lovely to stay in a cave type hotel room which had been modernised. We stayed in June and didn't need AC at all. The cave room temperature stayed pretty constant and therefore it was slightly chilly at night and we definitely needed the blanket that had been supplied. The area around the hotel in Ortahisar was very quiet and peaceful compared to the very touristy hustle and bustle of Goreme. There were some reasonable restaurants in the area and we enjoyed the local coffee shop and the castle. Some suggestions to improve the room would include attention to the hot water (we would have to run the tap for a good few minutes before getting warm/hot water). In addition the seating area of the 'balcony' through the patio doors could be improved and made more comfortable. Also more towels, some bathrobes and a fridge would be useful. Also the door lock was quite difficult to use unless applying a lot of force to push the door while turning the key. An electric heater is needed for the evenings. Despite all of this, we had a lovely few days at Abu Hayat Cave Suites and have fond memories.

One of the best holidays. The owners were always helpful, organized the ballon flight and the trips. From the first seconds it was like home. Should we go on holiday there again, there is only one dress. Thanks for everything.
