I have never stayed in a hostel or pension before so when I saw the pictures of Travellers Cave Pension and the prices of the rooms, even those with private bathrooms, I thought it was pretty fantastic. My husband & I stayed in a large cave room with my parents. It took me quite a while to warm up to the room (basically, it smelt musty, bathroom was extremely basic and did not look very clean, carpets also did not seem clean, there were black marks on the walls, it was dark and there was a tiny window near the top that you couldn't reach (therefore could not close). But then I thought to myself, I am paying around £10 per person for this room and it's a REAL experience in a cave, so what did I expect? So I grew to love the place, slept well at night, still couldn't get used to the bathroom but learned to live with it. The people who work there are terrific and the tours they offer are cheap. The best value of all is the hot air balloon ride. I don't think you could get a cheaper price anywhere else. The Pension also warned of a scam that often happens to visitors travelling to Goreme on bus. We were extremely grateful for the warning because it happened to us. Breakfast was fantastic, better than many 4 star hotels I've eaten at. Views from breakfast room/balcony were also excellent. There are many cats at the pension though so if you don't like cats I wouldn't stay there. For the price and the experience, I would definitely recommend it!
