The hotel is in a prime location in Uchisar village. The Uchisar Castle can be reached on foot in a few minutes. It takes a maximum of 5-6 minutes by car to go to Goreme. There is a taxi rank very close by. Hotel parking spaces are available.
Since the hotel is built into the rock face, the rooms look accordingly. It is a mix of subsequently built walls and rock faces. Architecturally, this is great. The hotel is a listed building by the Turkish authorities, so it appears that every effort is being made to keep it in its original condition. Upon entering the room, there was an unusual, but not unpleasant, smell in the room, which you no longer noticed after a few minutes. This is probably caused by the rocks. There is no air conditioning in the room itself, which is not necessary. The indoor climate is regulated independently by the rock structure and we found it pleasant.
The hotel is relatively small and the staff is always present yet discreet. This creates a very loving, almost family atmosphere.
The highlight of the hotel is the terrace area. When we visited, the upper terrace was being redesigned. So we can't say anything about it, except that the construction work was done in a very hospitable way. The lower terrace is a dream. You have a unique panoramic view of the valley. We were lucky and even had a good view of Mount Erciyes.
The staff is very friendly and leaves no wish unfulfilled. They even come up with creative ideas of their own to make the stay even more special. Even if this involves not inconsiderable efforts on your part. So we were suggested to set up the table for dinner on the lower terrace. The result was that we were able to enjoy an unforgettable dinner with a wonderful view.
We ate breakfast on the restaurant terrace. This is located between the upper and lower terrace and also has a great view. The breakfast itself is sumptuous and leaves nothing to be desired. All in all we can say that the food was of a high quality. The food is prepared by local staff (the ladies of the house :-)) and was very tasty. Even the types of jam and Turkish dumplings served for breakfast are freshly prepared by you.
The staff at the reception gave us extremely good advice regarding a sightseeing tour. They booked the desired tours with trustworthy agencies. According to their own statements, the agencies were tested by the staff themselves and selected accordingly. We can only confirm that the Red Tour booked was led by a very competent multilingual guide. We felt very well looked after and informed.
As a result we can say that we enjoyed an exclusive stay. We can recommend the hotel without any restrictions.
