Ramada by Wyndham Cappadocia — Hotel in Ortahisar Beldesi

Another disappointing brand quality. Like our previous experience with a Radisson Blu - don’t have expectations based on UK brand quality for Ramada because this is Turkey. This laughingly has Five Stars on its exterior wall (it’s a maximum of Three Star quality whatever Star boxes it has ticked).||When you arrive and enter the lobby area it feels like possibly 4/5 star but that is where the similarity begins and ends!.||Our double room turned out to be a pokey room with a tiny bathroom and two single beds pushed together, still with two single duvets etc. When I raised it at reception I was told they couldn’t do anything until tomorrow but sent someone to put a double sheet and double duvet on (still effectively leaving the gap between the mattresses). Having already had an unrelated issue on our tour, we contacted our Rep and luckily within ten minutes we had a proper double room, more spacious and with a decent bathroom. It seems that all hotel showers in Turkey could do with a makeover but it didn’t bother us as it was hot and it worked! ||Another feature of many hotels is that the TV will have a list of 60 channels but only 6 to 10 channels are tuned and 75% of those are Turkish. You may get a World News channel if you are lucky. Obviously with most people’s busy tour agenda that is not a great issue but just a word of warning if you normally keep up with News or Sport.||We went down to the “Spa area” to relax. There is a small but nice pool for relaxing not swimming. The Hammam was not available, the steam room is out of order, nobody services the areas and so the Sauna, whilst working, had its door wide open. I closed the door then had to fill the water bucket myself in the changing rooms to use to get it up to a decent heat, which we then enjoyed with several other guests who joined us.||Food is a massive scrum. There is a huge open school assembly hall of tables which are allocated by numbers to different groups. Good cold buffet but usual problems with quality, temperature and refilling of hot buffet when there are 100’s of people at the same time. Poor service (on the first night all three courses of plates & cutlery were left packed on our table - ours and other guests’). Inconsistent placing of cutlery, condiments and sugars requiring raiding of other tables.||Drinks as expensive as elsewhere (£10 a beer £13.50 a wine). The thing I found uncomfortable was how the waiters swooped so quickly on people that had bought drinks to get them to pay. I guess that’s a necessary feature of the bulk catering situation but felt like a cheap street buffet. It is not uncommon.||It is a reasonably pleasant walk into the small town (15-20 mins), which is also fairly pleasant. We didn’t go up to the Castle viewing point but were told by friends that it was 100TL only £2 and amazing views. There is a wine shop with beers etc. 95TL a can for Effes (less than £2).||All in all, very average hotel. Maybe it is good for Turkey but average bordering on...

Terrible hotel. Max a 2 star in any western country, the 5 star rating is a joke. Don't stay here if you come to Cappadocia! It's far from anything and you can't walk as it's situated on the main motorway/highway. Very noisy at night. Buffet for dinner is greasy and cheap tasting for approx £15 (700 Turkish) it's nasty. The staff speak zero to no English so very hard to communicate. Again, for a very commercial chain and "5 star" it was very poor that they had receptionists who could barely speak one sentence and couldn't understand basic things. No alternative foods if you have any allergies/intolerances so be prepared - eat outside! This is the hotel for big bus loads of Chinese tourists so it can get very manic at reception when 80 people go to check in. Bath plug was broken, no proper bin, dirty counters, harsh smelling chemicals in cupboards, not enough toilet roll left, forgot our towels, won't give a couple 2 cards, you are supposed to share one (never stayed at a hotel where that was standard...weird) and the condensation from the dirty windows was dropping into the swimming pool. Ghetto. Stay in one of the cave hotels in the centre - it's worth it and you are near restaurants, cafes and life and not stuck on a loud road with the call to prayer announcement blasting out and waking you at...

The Ramada by Wyndham Cappadocia is a well-equipped hotel that's perfect for travelers exploring Cappadocia. We stayed for two nights and had a nice time. The location is excellent—close to attractions such as the fairy chimneys, with hot air balloons floating in the sky in the morning and stunning sunsets in the evening, making it a truly unique destination. There's an indoor swimming pool, but the entrance is a bit hidden and located within the spa, so you have to look for it, which is a bit of a hassle. The rooms are spacious and clean, with air conditioning and comfortable beds. They're also very clean and well-maintained. The buffet dinner has a bunch of options, but the flavors are just OK, and the desserts are a bit too sweet and have a dull texture. The breakfast buffet starts at 6 a.m., with lighter options but good quality, perfect for early risers looking to explore. The hotel's location is its biggest highlight, making it perfect for hot air balloon rides and sightseeing tours. The rooms are comfortable enough, but the dining quality and the way you get to the pool could be better. If you're looking for a unique natural landscape experience in Cappadocia, this is a good option, especially if you don't mind...
