Staying at Garden City hotel has been one of the best experiences I've had in Turkey. The beds are clean and comfortable, the bathrooms spacious and fully equipped to clean up after a day trekking around the area, and even though the sun shines relentlessly during the day, the rooms are always at a comfortable temperature.
Mustafa has excellent English language skills and can offer advice on how to find trails to hike around Göreme, and was very helpful when we approached him with questions about the typical tourist experiences whether going on sunrise balloon tours, renting bikes to bop around on, trying one of the organized tours to the more far flung areas or something as simple as finding affordable eating and drinking options.
He's also great conversationalists who can have a friendly chat about anything. Shahin is a great dude as well, he reads situations and faces well, takes care of cats and dogs that walk around town and can offer insight into a world of experience you might not have guessed, çok iyi adamsın Shahin.
Breakfast fueled me well for day long hikes, the common sitting areas and tea an opportunity to chat with others and the garden, recently replanted offers some of the best free views you can find in Göreme while still being a 5 minute walk to the center of the...

Maria wqs very helpful in answering any queries we had regarding the area and attractions, helped us organise the airport transfer; was always available on WhatsApp to answer further questions. However, we unfortunately did not have hot water in the shower, no matter how long we left it to run and heat up.

Additionally, there was black mould all over the bathroom, which in all fairness the host acted quick to remove; but did not remove all of it. In the mornings and at night whilst in the hotel I struggled to breathe a lot and had terrible chest pains, which subsided whenever I left the premises; I attribute this to the air quality within the room. I don’t know how viable this is with a cave, but the room could do with better ventilation, perhaps an additional window or...
Read moreI really enjoyed my stay in the hotel. I would recommend this hotel to people who is visiting the area. It is a good value for money. The hotel is clean and decent. It is very thoughtful of them to have a heater in the room, afterall is a cavehotel, so it does get a little chilly. The breakfast was nice too, and you could see the view of the town while you have breakfast. And occasionally you have a little kitten (owner's cat) to keep you company;)). One of the most remarkable things about this hotel was the hospitality of the hotel owner-Harun. Harun is really helpful and welcoming. He showed me the best spot to see the view of the town. The last day of my stay, it was pouring rain, therefore I couldn't just walk around in town or do much site-seeing by myself. Harun was so kind to drive me around and showed me some local places. At the end he even drove me to the bus station to save me from walking...
