“Quiet respite in Kapadokya”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

This is a nice little spot on the hill in Urgup. My room was large as was my bathroom. Everything was clean and well-maintained. There were no English channels that I could find on the television. The wifi signal is strong in the communal areas, but not always in the rooms given the stone and rock. Always had hot water, which apparently not all hotels in the region do. Was also happy to have a bathtub. About a 10 minute walk from the town's centre.
The breakfast spreads are delicious and typically Turkish, and there is something a little different each morning. Having dinner at the hotel is also very affordable. It's also delicious and you feel like you are guests in someone's home rather than a hotel. Being as there are not very many rooms, you also have the opportunity to easily speak to other travellers.
The proprietors are warm and helpful. The tour companies they have connections with are good. The tours I went on arranged by them were reasonably priced, small in tourist number (~15 people) and didn't spend much time at the obligatory sales stop (carpets, pottery, etc).
Everyone who works at Assiana House is very warm and welcoming and makes you feel taken care of.

“Medieval Charm with Modern Amenities”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2011

Staying in a cave hotel was truely a unique experience. Combined with the calm and beauty of the surroundings - it was just so amazing. And the people at Assiana were just as charming as the hotel. Run by a family, it has a very nice, friendly staff. I was really happy to have such a proper bathroom in a cave :)
The breakfasts at terrace gave beautiful view.

“Feel like with our own family...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2011

The stay we had at Assiana was great! Everybody did the best for us to feel good! The cave room was warm, confortable, beautiful... The breakfast was very tasteful. In the last day we had dinner there, and it was something! The best meal we had in Turkey! She started cooking at noon, inside the anphora into a special oven, to serve us at 6:00pm... Everything was delicious, made with lot of love... I will never forget the last scene, when we were in the van to go to the airport, and the whole family stood in front of the hotel, saying good bye to us until our van was gone... It was like going out from our own home for a trip... Hope to return!

“Sweet dreams at the Assiana”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2010

If you ever have the chance to visit Cappadocia, this is the hotel to stay. Melvut, his owner, is very very gentile. He picked us at the airport with a 8hr delay! It was awful, and there he was with his sincere smile at 1am waiting for us, on time and in the best mood to attend us. When we got to the hotel we were speechless, our room was a real cave, it was unbelievably cozy and interesting at the same time. Melvut even offered us a cup of local wine at 3am, he was awesome. The room was awesome, roomy, different, super clean and quite a experience. Breakfast was good and they helped us to book a very good tour with a guide named Fatih who has also very nice.

“Charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2010

This place is a dream come true. It has everything. The hosts are diligent in pleasing the guests, serve a wonderful breakfast, and provide rides to and from the bus. The view is incredible with hot air balloons floating across the landscape. We were offered larger accommodations at the same price because they had a cancellation. Our suite was the best. I slept better there than I had in the previous two weeks. The Assiana Cave House is right out of a charming movie set. You can't go wrong here.
