“Blue Moon Motel offers excellent value accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
7
people found this review helpful

In Sep 2011, I moved to the Blue Moon Motel after staying at Caravanserai Hotel, which is less than 10 minutes walk away (Goreme is a small place, after all).

For half the price, Blue Moon Hotel offered the same amenities as Caravanserai Hotel, and is in a better location, closer to the Open Air Museum, the Post Office (PTT), taxi stand and "dolmus"(public bus) stop.

Despite its central location, the motel is quiet, so I enjoyed a sound sleep at night.

The terrace is a perfect vantage point for the balloons rising among the rocky pinnacles every morning from 6:30AM to 7:30AM, perhaps even as late as 8:00AM.

Every day I noticed the owner working very hard from early morning to late at night, so in my opinion he deserves to have a successful business (and this is an independent opinion, he didn't put me up to it :)).

Perhaps because I was a lone traveler, he graciously invited me to dinner; also, he kindly allowed me to use his laptop to connect to the Internet.

His staff is equally hard-working and polite, and this is reflected by the clean premises, plentiful breakfast, polite service and warm hospitality.

I was able to go on a spontaneous day trip to Ihlara Valley with a tour group by giving only 30 minutes notice, due to the efficiency of the Blue Moon Motel owner, who promptly made all arrangements for me to be picked up and go on that trip.

Everything considered, Blue Moon Motel offers great value accommodation in Goreme and I warmly recommend it.

I'll add photos as soon as I can.

We loved this place. The best location to be in Goreme. The staff are fantastic. It is not fancy, but who needs that. Look around you for fancy. You are in an incredible area of the world. We loved the Blue Moon Motel.

“Great Location, Good value, Fantastic staff”

The blue moon motel is located right in the centre of Goreme near all the shops/restaurants and the bus station. The rooms are clean and tidy with comfy beds and a powerful hot shower. Its very good value for money. What stands out the most however is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Besides always being greeted with a smile and offers of hot tea, they really do go above and beyond the call of duty. I had left my passport behind at the Kibala hotel in Cirali, near Antalya (which is a wonderful place too and well worth a visit) and Cemil, the owner of the Blue Moon motel organised to have it posted to Urgup, the nearest big town. He was brilliant at continually ringing the delivery office in Urgup to check on the status of things and even drove over with us to pick it up when it finally arrived. His comment was 'This is my business, to help my guests'.

Was a great place, we were travelling in the off season so was a little chilly, but our hosts were amazing with tea and a hot fire always on the go in a common area - best part was the uber hot showers that we go and its location!

“Central location. Friendly service”

Blue Moon is a small budget hotel in the center of the town. Otogar(Bus station) is just 2 min away and everything is very closed from the hotel. Breakfast is served in the balcony which has a great view when weather is warm. Unfortaunatley we had to have our breakfast in the dining area due to the cold weather in the morning. The view is pretty good from the balcony and you can see balloons rising each morning.

The room is basic which has a bed, table, fridge, TV and bathroom. They provide clean towel and clean the room everyday. Cemil is the manager and he helps with booking tours and buses and Memet is the house keeper and also prepre breafast. They both are very friendly and helpful. We even could take a shower before the overnight bus.

If you are looking for a budjet hotel with convenience, Blue Moon is perferct for you.
