Takaev cave hotel

The Takaev Cave House is located in the older part of Uchisar, directly under the spectacular castle. Having seen both Uchisar and Goreme, I would strongly recommend Uchisar - Goreme is much more touristy (and frankly more tacky) than Uchisar was has largely retained much of its originality, especially near the hotel.|Parking is available on the (allegedly one-way!) street if you are arriving by car, usually within a very short walk of the hotel. Access to the hotel and to all the rooms is down some fairly steep steps. The staff are undoubtedly the highlight of the hotel, particularly Aziz ad Darin - they were helpful, attentive and provided an excellent experience and their English is great. They booked a balloon trip for us with pick up from the hotel (at 4.05am!) and the arrangements were perfect. |The room was lovely, with a window opening out onto the valley so that you could watch the balloons at sunrise (having been woken by the call to prayer from a very adjacent mosque!). Some rooms do not have a view to the back of the hotel and we would strongly recommend that you choose one which does. The bathroom was well equipped and functioning, although the shower could have done with some restoration to sort a very leaky shower head and a broken bracket. The bed was large and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent (although much the same every day) and it was a real treat to sit on the balcony in the sun every morning. We greatly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend the hotel.

We had a great stay here. The hotel was well maintained and clean and rooms were beautifully decorated. Nice and safe location and a great view, you can stay at the hotel to watch the hot air balloons if desired. We had a car and it was kind of easy to find a spot. Like many other hotels and due to its location there are no elevators, so if you have any physical problems consider this point before booking. Special thanks to Mr. Aziz for his help throughout our stay. Would definitely be one of the places I would consider for my next visits

An unforgettable stay in a truly magical setting! The hotel offers a breathtaking view - our room was absolutely stunning, with a direct view of the hot air balloons rising at sunrise. The hospitality was warm, welcoming staff who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. A special mention to the manager, who was professional and attentive throughout our stay. One minor downside: coffee is not included with breakfast, which was a bit surprising, but hardly enough to detract from the overall quality of the experience. I also want to clarify something: I was at the hotel on the same night as the family who left a 1-star review. They were incredibly disrespectful - their children ran and screamed through the hallways until 1:30 AM, disturbing many guests. The manager did everything he could to manage the situation, but it was simply out of his control. Their review is unfair and does not reflect the true quality of this wonderful hotel. Highly recommended - I would gladly return!

Extremely Disappointed – Not Worth Even a Single Star I had a very unpleasant experience at this property. Firstly, the room was misleadingly advertised – it only had a double bed, not the queen-size bed as mentioned. The toilet was not clean and Neat not up to a star review , which was shocking and extremely inconvenient. The breakfast service was equally disappointing. The staff’s behavior was unprofessional and disrespectful. What’s worse, the manager was outright rude, showing no courtesy or willingness to address any concerns. Always just argument which shows purely unprofessional. This place is absolutely not worth the money, and I would never recommend it to any family. It doesn’t even deserve one star. Reply for your message I would like to formally express my dissatisfaction with our recent stay at your hotel. Before booking, I clearly informed the manager about our children. He assured us that kids could stay for free. Please do not assume we are first-time travelers—we are experienced guests and fully aware of what to expect from a hotel, especially one advertised as a 4-star property. Unfortunately, the reality of your services did not meet even basic 3-star standards. Misleading information was given, and several promises made at the time of booking were not honored. This is not acceptable. You also claimed that children were playing at 11:00 PM, which is completely false. We were all at your coffee area between 6:00 PM and just before 7:00 PM. This kind of misrepresentation is disappointing and unacceptable. We did not come to the masjid to keep our children silent at 6:00 PM. Families deserve to be treated with understanding and respect. Sadly, our experience showed that your hotel is not family-friendly at all. Additionally, when we requested an omelet, it was refused without any discussion. Attempts to communicate were dismissed, and it seems like the goal was to avoid accountability rather than improve your standards—something we also observed in the behavior of your manager. We hope this feedback is taken seriously and that steps are taken to ensure future guests receive the service and honesty they are promised.

I had a wonderful stay at Takaev Cave House in Cappadocia. The breakfast was delicious, and the view of the hot air balloons in the morning was simply magical. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, making the stay even more special. Highly recommend this charming cave hotel for a memorable Cappadocia experience!

Amazing location, wonderful helpful staff and great value for authentic Turkish Cave Hotel in Cappadocia. The manager Aziz assisted us with all tour bookings and airport transfers...he is very professional & knowledgeable....my advice is do as he suggests 👌Sadly other guests that tried to save $50 on tours got cancelled and missed out on hot air balloon ride 😔 which is a must do at sunrise! The hotels location is better than others as it overlooks the valley so the breathtaking views of the hot air balloons each morning are unbeatable.

My stay at Takev Hotel was overall very pleasant. The hotel was clean, safe, and just as shown in the photos. Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were extremely polite and attentive. During my stay, I witnessed a family with children disturbing other guests by being overly loud. Despite repeated noise, the parents made no attempt to calm them. I reported it to the management, and unfortunately, the same family later posted an unfair negative review. I’m writing this to support the hotel, as I personally experienced their professionalism and care. I sincerely recommend Takev Hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and high-quality stay.

We had amazing experience here. The location, service, views and breakfast were top quality. Hotel manager even organized a wonderful cabrio-tour around Cappadocia, I suggest everyone to have a go. There were some rowdy other guests that were really noisy and I can clearly see they left some bad reviews here, but they didn't manage to ruin our vacation.
