Great idea: Experience a cave home with modern amenities. Beds firm, room & bath clean, electricity somewhat precarious [table lamp fell off/broke from very uneven shelf where it was placed, not by us]. We liked the various levels, private patio and views are stunning. Never saw any staff except one man at breakfast who brought coffee when asked. We had the feeling it is not run by any people who have a stake in the enterprise - unlike other small hotels in Turkey where a friendly welcome and help was always evident.

We had four nights here in a beautiful room with a stunning view. The night we arrived after driving for four hours was cold so it was a delight to be show into a warm and spacious room. Comfortable bed with lovely linen and the room kept very clean. We loved the reading space carved into one side of the room. Staff were endlessly helpful and friendly(especially in organising our balloon flight when it was cancelled because of bad weather) , the breakfast great and the set dinner good value.

I stayed at Elkep Evi for two nights while touring Cappadocia, and highly recommend it. The hotel sits high on a hillside, so the views are amazing. My cave room was charming and very clean, with beautiful Turkish village rugs on the floor, and an arched stone ceiling overhead. Each room is set apart from the others, providing great privacy. I had a private terrace of my own outside my door, with great views of hot air balloons rising over the valley each morning.

The buffet breakfast was excellent, with extensive variety and eggs cooked to order. One additional note: some rooms are accessible by stairs only -- don't expect an elevator!

It is a must to stay in a cave hotel when you are in Cappadocia. Great rooms with a beautiful courtyard and individual patios. The breakfast in good but their is a set menu at dinner. Quite far from town if you are walking, but I if you have a guide then no worries. Very big rooms with great bathrooms.
