Ürgüp is a great place to stay and an ideal point of departure to the many interesting places in Cappadocia. It is a busy little town where you still get the feeling of rural Turkish life, despite the many tourists. As this Cappadocia a very touristic area, the hotel prices are quite high and not always good value for money...
We stayed for 7 days at Melis Hotel and had quite a nice time there. All in all we enjoyed it there, as it is a very nice place within a wonderful garten, however, there were a few buts:
Positive:
- Great location.
- Just a few minutes walk from the town centre.
- Very close to the main road, but no noise could be heared from the street.
- Nice rooms.
- Very friendly staff.
- Lovely garden.
- Great breakfast in the beautiful garden or at the pool area.
- Refreshing pool, though the water was too cold.
- Free computer for guests to use.
Negative:
- Constant loud background music (areas etc. - not everyones taste)
- There were a lot of construction works going on and in addition to the permanent loud music the
continuous sounds of hammering and sawing had to be endured.
- One of the dogs was not always happy to be on the leash and barked a lot in the evenings.
- The bathrooms are very sparsely equipped.
- The amplified calls to prayers from the nearby mosque in the middle of the night were annoying.
