Bottom Line
The 13-room Caravanserai Cave Hotel is a typically quaint, family-run Cappadocia lodging with a welcoming, rustic vibe set in the center of Göreme town. It's a pretty simple set-up, especially in the rooms, though this is part of its appeal and it gets all the basics right -- including an especially warm welcome, a delicious free breakfast, and terraces looking out over the wonderful scenery. Don't expect much in the way of facilities or polish, but for spades of charm at very reasonable rates, this is certainly one of the better options.

Typical Cappadocia-style small hotel with charming rustic ambience
Opened in 2010, the Caravanserai Cave Hotel follows the charming style of architecture typical of the Cappadocia region with elegantly carved arches, limestone walls, and grotto-like caves hewn from the rock. A large central courtyard is dotted with numerous planted terra-cotta pots surrounding by pretty hanging plants creating a pleasant, rustic, and weathered tone which is lit up in the evening to superb effect. Stone staircases also lead to two further terraces that offer lovely views of the surroundings spectacular "fairy chimneys". A family-run hotel, each guest is personally welcomed by the owner, Oruç, who is also particularly attentive and, as an authority on the area and its tourism, on-hand to help with any aspect of his guests' stay.
Location
Set in the center of Göreme within easy reach of most attractions
The hotel is located in the center of Göreme within easy reach of most of the town's tourist attractions including the complex of rock-cut dwellings of the Zelve Open Air Museum and plenty of restaurants and cafes. The ancient 11th-century El Nazar Church is just over a mile away while ballooning excursion points are also well within walking distance. The hotel can organize private and bus transfers to and from both Kayseri and Nevsehir Kapadokya airports (for a fee), while takes between an hour and an hour and a half.
Rooms
Three different types of simple rooms with basic amenities
The hotel has 13 rooms -- comprising five standard, four stone-arch, and four original cave rooms -- all of which are simply styled with Turkish-flavored decor and rustic touches. Amenities are basic, with old-style tube TVs and little else -- though tea and coffee can be ordered in-room throughout the day. Bathrooms are adequate but have soap dispensers and some could use a refresh. Wi-Fi is also available, but doesn't tend to dependably reach all rooms.
Features
Traditional Turkish breakfast with freshly baked bread on terrace with superb views
A simple, but excellent, traditional Turkish breakfast is served each morning (included in the rate) offering freshly baked bread which can be enjoyed on the breakfast terrace with superb views. Tea and coffee are served throughout the day and the owner and his son are always on-hand to help book excursions, arrange transfers, or recommend restaurants.
