Bottom Line
The 21-room Traveller's Cave Hotel is one of the more smartly presented properties in Göreme, both inside and out, while retaining plenty of rustic charm. It's not a family-run hotel, so service tends more toward the professional than the personal touch, but staff are still on hand to help organize anything from balloon rides to airport transfers. Rooms are also nicely finished (some have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs), while the spacious, plush, panoramic terrace is a real highlight. The location up a steep hill means it won't be ideal for those with mobility concerns, but all things considered, rates are more than reasonable.

Well-presented, typically Cappadocia-style small hotel with plenty of open space
The Traveller's Cave Hotel is a particularly well presented example of the area's typical Cappadocia-style architecture of elegant archways, panoramic terraces, and grotto-like rooms chiseled out of the amorphous volcanic rock. Neat gardens with well tended lawns feature some of the best vistas over the stunning valley, while the property is scattered with ubiquitous terra-cotta potted plants and rustic, wooden furnishings for an authentic feel. Unlike most hotels in Göreme, however, the Traveller's Cave Hotel is not family-run but one of a small chain of lodgings in the area, so can lack a little of the homeyness that some others have in spades. The ambience is still welcoming with some cozy spots as well as some lovely wide open seating areas making for enough space for everyone to drink in the views.
Location
Perched on a hillside a 10-minute walk from Göreme town center
The location is perched on the hillside to the north of Göreme, about a 10-minute walk away from the town center. The impressive complex of rock-cut dwellings of the Open Air Museum is around 15 minutes away on foot and the ancient 11th-century El Nazar Church is around 20 minutes away. The hotel can organize free transportation to and from the nearby bus station, while also offering transfers to and from both Kayseri and Nevsehir Kapadokya airports (for a fee), which takes between an hour and an hour and a half.
Rooms
Smartly finished rooms with plenty of in-room amenities including free Wi-Fi
The hotel has a total of 21 rooms, 17 of which are carved from the volcanic rock while the others have bare limestone walls. Rooms are particularly nicely finished, with comparatively clean lines and polished wooden floors while retaining a pleasant rustic feel with traditional furnishings and Turkish rugs. In-room amenities are impressive, and include free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs with satellite (and English-speaking) channels. Bathrooms are also better than most, many having hammam-style stone basins and whirlpool tubs, while many rooms also feature fireplaces.
Features
Spacious and well-furnished panoramic terraces
The traditionally styled restaurant serves a free breakfast each morning which can be taken out on the spacious, well-furnished terraces with those wonderful panoramic views. Lunch and dinner are also available on request and drinks are served throughout the day. All the usual activities can be arranged through the hotel -- ballooning, quad-biking, horse-riding -- and bus station pick-ups (free) and airport transfers (charged) are also available.

The Coolest Cave Rooms in Cappadocia
When visiting the Anatolian Region of Turkey, it’s a requirement, in our opinion, to head to Cappadocia. Thanks to erosion and volcanic eruption (natural occurrences we aren’t usually thanking), the city is filled with beautiful rock formations, dubbed “fairy chimneys” for their surreal appearance. They kind of look like honeycombs these days, as over the…
