Doors Of Cappadocia - Adults Only

The hotel is very average. Some lights in the room were not working; staff was not friendly. The location is fantastic though!

We stayed at Doors of Cappadocia for 3 nights in April 2019. The hotel is clean and comfortable, although general maintenance is a bit lacking. For example, there were exposed electrical wires in our room and the outdoor spaces were a bit unkempt. The location is excellent with beautiful views and within convenient walking distance to many shops and restaurants. yet far enough from the main street to avoid general traffic noise. Unfortunately there were two major disappointments during our stay. First, breakfast. We are far from picky eaters, but struggled to find anything edible aside from toasted bread and tea. The hot items were cold and the cold items were warm and nothing appeared to be fresh or not recycled from previous days. Second, the tours offered by the hotel. Upon arrival, a friendly reception staff recommended to us a private tour option instead of a group tour. In reality, the private tour was not a tour at all, but rather a taxi from attraction to attraction. While our driver was friendly, he only admitted at the end of the 2nd day of driving us around that he was in fact not a tour guide. When we approached management, the response was aggressive and at times offensive, although he ultimately agreed to provide a 10% discount for misleading us. This experience, in addition to another where a different manager loudly berated a housekeeping staff in front of guests, leads me to believe this is not a hotel that values or treats its staff and guests well.

Beautiful views, amazing hotel architecture, friendly & knowledgeable staff, delicious free breakfast!

We booked for a junior suite which had a window - specifically because I didn’t want to stay in a windowless cave room which was the common thing in Cappadocia. When we checked in we were told that the rooms were fully booked and they can only give me an upgrade to the king suite (for free), which was a cave tucked away in a corner of a dark corridor with a small window that has zero view whatsoever. I was then blamed for booking the room last minute - before I protested and told the staff that I booked a few weeks ago and they checked that to be true. I was annoyed to say the least. The hotel itself was ok. Breakfast was ok but hot food choices was a bit limited - not sure if that’s the norm in Cappadocia. The room itself had air-con heating so that was good. But being a cave - the ceiling was always flaking off some dust, especially in the toilet and shower area and so our toiletries were always covered in dust after a day out. The hotel is not in the centre of town but is walkable to it. Being that Goreme is very small, location is not a problem at all.

Amazing trip and experience, we loved this hotel, the staff were extreamly helpful, the pool was great and the location was excellent. 5 minute walk to the local town which had plenty of bars and restaurants. I would 100% stay here again.
