El Nazar Stone Suite

Umit at reception was especially friendly and helpful. He made us feel at home, gave us advice on what to do, and offered to find excursions at a good price. If you don't have time to research online or call and drive around looking for deals, he can help. We liked the spacious room, which had A/C and the basics. The hotel is in Uchisar, close to the main attractions if you're driving, but away from Göreme's hectic feel while still near restaurants and shops. There's plenty of parking. Breakfast is made fresh when you wake up, and from the breakfast terrace we could see Uchisar castle and hot air balloons. There's also a balcony where we dried some clothes and shoes. We tested the jacuzzi and it worked, though we didn't use it. A few things could be better. The bathroom could have been cleaner, with water stains on the shower, taps, and glass, and the jacuzzi looked a little yellow. The towels smelled like cigarette smoke mixed with laundry. Breakfast is made to order rather than a buffet, just so you know. The mini fridge was a little dirty and didn't work, and the TV didn't seem to work either. We used the main kitchen fridge a couple of times. We didn't need the fridge or TV and didn't ask staff to fix them, so they might have been fixable.

Although the rooms are spacious and the price is budget-friendly, I wouldn't recommend staying here. The noise kept us from getting the rest we needed for three nights in a row, so we had to take afternoon naps to recover. Staff were loud and disruptive from 10 to 11 PM. If you want to see sunrise, take a hot air balloon ride, or do anything early, this isn't an ideal place to stay. Communication was disappointing too. Many of the phone numbers they provided went unanswered, and the menu QR code didn't work. Reception was often empty during the day. I would gladly have paid a little more for a better night's sleep.

Breakfast was brought fresh with a big smile, and the staff were super friendly and helped when we asked for extra pillows and clothes hangers. There hadn't been spare pillows, and the room only had one hanger. They also let us store some items in the hotel fridge when our little fridge wasn't working. The room was clean and spacious, and it's a good budget hotel in a great spot for Cappadocia and the surrounding area. But the room, towels, and bedding all smelled of cigarette smoke. Our room wasn't very soundproof, so we needed ear plugs. I would recommend it. Thanks.

A lovely, clean room with a terrace, three windows, and a pretty view, all at a very reasonable price. There's a rooftop breakfast bar and restaurant, and breakfast comes with stunning views. The host is super nice, and they can arrange hot air balloon rides through their partner vendors.
