    A very special place, experience the cave bed here! The breakfast here is delicious! I waited here for three days and took a hot air balloon before leaving, so lucky!

    2 toilet/shower combo shared between all rooms so there is often a line and very mouldy

    4-bed female dorm was lovely. Pretty cool staying in the cave. Close to the bus station and centre of town. Staff were lovely and breakfast was spectacular, different meals each day.

    Breakfast could be a little earlier like 7 am it 7.30am as I go in summer n after hot air balloon or sunrise we return n need to wait . But once it starts it is very fast service n portion is generous . Absolutely love n look forward to the change of breakfast every day

    Location is perfect , close to bus interchange n staff is readily available to help

    The only thing missing is the number of toilet in the hostel. There is only 2 toilet shared by 20 people. If they can improve that, it will be perfect!

    The location is perfect. Homemade delicious breakfast. The hiking tour with the staff from the hostel was amazing!

    limited bathroom facilities, with only 2 showers shared among 20 people at its peak (and one of the showers did not work! I hope it's fixed soon) the lighting is really dark, given that the dorms were in a cave, but it may make (un)packing suitcases difficult I myself booked a bunk bed space in the 4 female dorm room, which is tiny... the pictures shown by the hostel were mainly of the mixed dorm part, so go for it if space is a concern ventilation may also be a concern,with occasional musty smells also, if only a shared kitchen space could be provided for guests...

    location: only a couple minutes walk from the intercity bus station the breakfast: perfect for loading up for your day hiking, touring of whatever in Cappadocia friendly staff who's always willing to help and the atmosphere in general

    Since there's no type of ventilation so it can get a little uncomfortable at times.

    The hosts are very good. The location is perfect. Right in the middle of the town. The breakfast spread is just amazing. One of the best I've ever had. The hosts help you with bookings and any recommendations needed.

    At the first night, I slept under the air sucker in cave room and it made that corner of the room too much smoky to sleep from burning smoke. However I asked for move my bed to another one, luckily, it is winter and not full so they allowed me to move.

    The stuff was very helpful and informative. Nice breakfast too

    The 4-female dorm room had no proper light in the room. Except for the two floor lights, you better bring your own torch so you can see what you're packing in your bag. There were only two WC for all the dorm guests (around 25 people, maybe?) It gets hectic and bit dirty in the morning around breakfast and at night when people are ready to rest. The female dorm and co-ed dorm share the same "hallyway" which is fine but it would have been more appropriate to place a door not only for the female dorm guests but also for the co-ed dorm users for privacy.

    Location: Very near the bus station and most of the tourist sites in Goreme Breakfast: hearty but can be repetitive

    This hostel was an amazing place to be. The hospitality of the hosts makes your stay something to remember. Amazing breakfast that keeps you full for the day; joyful moments dancing and chilling together; great location to start your hikes and activities; very good internet for those like me that wanted to work online while travelling. I could have good videocalls enjoying an amazing Chai Tea and views.

    I think we were in the smallest room ever. No room to lay your suitcase and bathroom super tiny.

    The breakfast was REALLY GOOD. Goreme is a beautiful little town. The location of the hostel is just a very short walk from the bus station and all the restaurants and tour shops.

    bathroom situations as other reviews have said (toilets and showers combined so if 2 ppl are showering no one can use the toilet in the whole hostel until they finish), no light at all for seeing yourself in the mirror!, also the dorms are incredibly dark even with all lights on so makes it difficult to pack and find stuff. one last note, would be great if rooftop had a better seating area but maybe they do have in the high season?

    omg the breakfasts!! so good, so much food and the staff are so hospitable! little hostel dogs are so cute and everyone made me feel very welcome. rooftop has a gorgeous view (go up for sunrise!), caves were super cool to stay in, location can’t be beat! only a 2 min walk to bus and all shops/restaurants are right nearby

    the room was a bit 'tired' and the one light in the room was very bright which made the room seem very stark. The room was also very small

    We stayed in a private room with bathroom. The location was excellent, down a quiet street. The host was really friendly. There is a terrace where breakfast is served and also provides tea and coffee all day. The breakfasts were very good though don't go to breakfast expecting it at 8am (it is meant to be served between 8-10am). The food is served to you but this seemed to start more like 8:30-8:45am. They have a couple of very cute dogs!
