Ares Cave Suites

Ares is a beautiful boutique hotel. My room was FANTASTIC. I had a very large bedroom, an extremely large bathroom with a sitting room. My goodness, I felt like royalty. The room was extremely clean, the staff was friendly, and the views from the rooftop terrace were fantastic. If I had not already made plans for Istanbul, I would have extended my stay for a few more days. I LOVED this place.

Excellent location. Fabulous room and facilities. Staff were attentive and very helpful. Always clean and tidy - could not fault.

Likes (as selected above): Rooftop view, walkable distance to town, quiet & safe. The staff was helpful but there were times where communication between property staff members was poor and it caused some problems for us / guests. We did clearly address these issues with the manager and our belief is that they will improve. One thing that we think should be highlighted is that the toilet is located in the shower area; at least that was the case for room #107. So, when taking a shower, the floor around the toilet also gets quite wet and doesn’t drain properly; floor is not properly ‘sloped’. They may actually need to do some re-construction for this room to address this issue (?). Another point that some people may have an issue with is that the entire shower / toilet / basin / bathtub area is a room enclosed with glass partition / door. What this means is that someone sitting on toilet (or taking a shower/ bath) has minimal privacy from another person in the adjacent room bed. For couples that are really close, probably not an issue; note again that this is about room # 107 .. cannot speak to the other rooms. Would we stay there again ? Answer is ‘maybe’ if we know for sure that hot air balloons will fly over the Goreme area during our stay .. That sight with so many balloons would be absolutely amazing .. (during our short stay, Goreme ballon flights were cancelled due to high wind forecasts 🙁 next time in Cappadocia, we will definitely stay at least 5-7 nights.

The best experience I’ve ever had—truly a bucket list experience. The hotel room was absolutely beautiful, and relaxing in the jacuzzi was amazing. We did have some issues with the bubbles not working during our stay, but honestly, it didn’t take away from the experience. The breakfast was 10/10. It was a traditional Turkish breakfast where the staff served the food and set everything up for you, making it feel like a truly authentic experience. The view from the hotel in the morning, with all the hot air balloons filling the sky, was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel’s location is perfect. I considered spending more money on the viral hotel that everyone posts about, but decided not to. I’m so glad I made that choice. This hotel is just as good, if not better, and offers much better value for money. Here, you’re paying for the actual experience and quality—not because the hotel became famous on TikTok. The staff were incredibly kind. They even took photos of us with the hot air balloons at 5:00 a.m., allowed us to stay at the hotel after check-out, and were genuinely friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
