In Stone House

The first room had a damaged shower head. They moved us to another room no questions asked. Breakfast was a great Turkish spread. With a hot omelette or traditional pie or donut. Absolute treat and great value. Mineral water and Chai tea on tap all day. Internet was perfect to take video meetings with colleagues in the USA and Europe. Location is away from the noise of Goreme, directly under the hotair balloons every morning. Incredible view from the rooftop terrace. Rooms are perfect, comphy bed, crisp sheets, brilliant water pressure! Staff are great! They even invited me to sit and have lunch with them one day. Delicious lemon cake. I asked for two of each Turkish coin, I'm collecting for my niece and nephew. Esra from the front desk found me all of the coins. Ever the scarce 1c and 5c, she even looked in her purse and tip jar for the 10c we couldn't find. Everyone gave the exact same service. On morning three I didn't even order a Double Turkish coffee with less sugar. One for the staff, knew and brought it for me. These guys get it. They know service and it's a treat. The price is oddly low. Incredible value. There is an epic hiking trail that starts in their back yard and goes all the way up the mountain and back down through the spectacular sand caps and dramatic Turkish landscape.

I left from Italy to Turkey with a baggage of so much advise from friends and relatives, information taken from the internet, my even two in number travel books, so many high expectations and my head full of dreams of that magic country, but I didn’t expect that everything would turn into something real. When I entered InStone house I immediately liked the location so well-finished and my room extremely clean, warm and comfortable. But it wasn’t just that. The care the staff shows towards guests, the great advise from the hotel’s manager who continuously pays attention to every single detail in terms of hospitality, their congeniality, the great breakfast served with a big and beautiful smile, some Turkish lessons to survive in a foreign country given without any prejudice, the open-mindedness of them all, the tea available 24/24 to sip on their magic balcony maybe while watching balloons fly over your head at sunrise or while enjoying sunset. This is the magic of Cappadocia, this is the magic of people from Cappadocia. Believe me, I usually travel the world and I have started growing fond of travelling right because of places like this which make you go beyond the geographical boundaries and make you feel at home wherever in the world.

Very y, i will come back

We had a re-union with friends. Stayed 2 days. The rooms are well decorated, in an authentic, charming hotel. The owner Bülent and his father Ahmet were really helpful, smily people. I can not wait to go there again. Also cleaner Ahmet Güven was such a big help and hard-worker. He deserved a good tip

Good
