Elif Star: On Track but out of the Way

Elif Star was a great small hotel for our and a friend's two night trip to see Cappadocia. The rooms were pleasant, the water was hot, the bed comfortable, and breakfast sufficient. Our hosts were welcoming. Right in Goreme but a block or two up from the busier downtown, the location was quiet and accessible. Kadir was very helpful and friendly. The weather did not cooperate for a balloon ride this time but it was good enough for sightseeing. We enjoyed shopping at Sultan's Charm for Turkish bath towels and scarves.

眺めの良いすてきな洞窟ホテルです！

一人旅で、鳩の巣穴のあるかわいい部屋に宿泊しました。実際に鳩の卵の殻を使って修道院の壁画を描いていたのだそうです。早朝、鳩の谷（Pigeon Valley)をすれすれに飛ぶ気球を眺めながらコーヒーを飲み、非日常の風景を堪能しました。

Awesome concept (cave hotel) happy & helpful Staff

Very helpful and nice staff (Kadir, Mustafa & others) who go above and beyond expectations to make your stay comfortable. (Including help after we left, posting some small items left in bedside table to another country) We had a great time, saw amazing scenery, through green sightseeing tour & hot air ballooning - must do when in the area! Loved our stay and loved the area!

최고의 호텔 중 하나

이스탄불에서 카이세리로 가는 10시 50분 비행기를 타고 괴레메 마을에 도착...연착을 해서 새벽 2시에나 들어갔습니다. teke라는 아저씨가 그 시간에 눈 부시시하면서 일어나 맞아주시더군요. 여기서부터 친절함이 남달랐습니다. 숙박하기 전에 벌룬투어 그린투어 등등을 하려면 본인을 통하라...는 메일을 주시고 구글플러스 친구신청도 해서 처음에는 들러붙는 스타일이신가...했는데 그렇지 않았고 다른 벌룬투어 회사를 예약했다고 하니 어떤 회사는 뭐가 좋고 나쁘다 등등을 잘 말해주시더군요. 주인장 영어가 짧지만 잘 통하는 편입니다. 애들 둘이 아침식사에서 이 집 햄이 맛있었다더군요. 와이프는 우유(?산양젖?)가 좋았다고 했고...전반적으로 간단하지만 깔끔한 아침식사 였습니다. 새벽 2시에 들어가서 1시간 자고 4시에 벌룬투어...돌아와서 2시간 자고 9시에 그린투어 나가기 위해 체크아웃 했으니 결국 3시간을 이 호텔에서 잤네요. 짧았지만 천연동굴에서 잠자는 느낌을 확실히 받을 수 있었습니다 근데 밤에는 좀 춥습니다 감안하시길...

Disappointing

In my observation, you get good service at this hotel if you are (a) young and pretty female (b) book tours through hotel. If you do not fall under category (a) or (b) you are not valued as a guest and the service is indifferent.

What an awesome family and hotel to stay with

Having just finished 5 weeks of travel through Europe we would have to say this is definitely our favourite place. Our son and his fiancé were also with us, they have been travelling Europe and UK since September 2014 also voted this their favourite in all their travels. What a unique location in the world. Kadir was so helpful from when we booked our room through to our airport pickup, tours and airport drop off. Lovely family run business. Not flash but clean and comfortable and so so cheap. Nothing is too much trouble.

Wonderful Staff, Enjoyable Stay

A warm and wonderful couple runs this cave hotel that is just a few minute walk from the center of Goreme. The rooms are simple but comfortable, and breakfast can be eaten on the patio, or inside. The manager, who is also the tour guide, is very helpful and knowledgeable about his area. A day tour with him is definitely worth while, for both the experience and the price. The hotel is also priced fairly and I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed in a room with a patio overlooking a beautiful landscape. The patio was the highlight of our stay. Also, the Turkish breakfast was something I really enjoyed. I would recommend this hotel to other people wanting to come here.

EXCELENTE!!!

Show de Bola!! Lugar excelente e uma vista muito bonita. Ficamos em um quarto-caverna que recomendo para qualquer um. Agora o "plus" do hotel é sem dúvida a atenção e a prestatividade do Kadir e sua família, realmente se sente em casa e o que não falta é atenção e amizade. Obrigado Kadir e com certeza quando voltar me hospedarei de novo! Abraços
