Awesome Experience

This place could easily rest on its well established reputation - amazing views of the valley, great breakfast, friendly staff - but they continue to go above and beyond.

We stayed in the least expensive cave chimney room and were still treated like VIPs.

Highly recommended.

cave hotel

The location is great. Hotel looks fabulous. Breakfast is outstanding. But our room could not be more dusty. The little hotel puppy was peeing on carpets. The hamam staff were rough when they find out we just paid for an entrance without extra massage.
I think they just have too many tourist they are able to deal with, therefore there is no attention to details. I could oversee all of the above if not for a quite hefty price of our room.
If you charge people western fee for a room, you should deliver some standard.

Unique Quality: Fantactic breakfast and views 180 degrees.

looks nice!

This is a hotel I didn’t stay but some friends did and their commends are so great that I thought it is a good idea to drop some lines here.

I visited the hotel many times because the travel agent I used, Heritage Travel has the office inside the hotel. All the people that work in the hotel seemed friendly to me and there was always a cup of tea waiting for me. The terrace for the breakfast or the afternoon tea is ideal with a great view and the hotel is partly curved in the rock. So, they have some cave rooms and some normal ones.

I also noticed some leaflets about their Turkish Bath & Sauna facilities:peeling & soap massage, turkish or classic massage, aromatherapy etc The prices are from 40$ to 90$ depending the massage and the time length.

Kelebek means butterfly...

Definately recommended, the ideal fairytale decor for a memorable stay in Cappadocia.
Traditional, half curved in the rock and half built, with panoramic views, friendly and helpful staff and delicious breakfast with fresh local products.
Under the same management there is also the kelebek suites boutique hotel.
Visit their website, choose the room you want and email your room request. You can also ask for transfers.

I had such a nice time in Kelebek hotel and Cappadocia that I forgot to take a photo for a tip in vt so,

Very nice hotel

The thing to do in Cappadocia is to stay in a "cave room" hotel, so we did. This hotel was pleasant enough with friendly service, but "cave room" tends to mean "dark room", for obvious physical reasons. There was only the one small window out in the living room. We stayed in the Sirahane room (Wine Cellar) at the Boutique hotel. Our living room was built out of concrete block but the bedroom was dug out of solid rock. The bathroom had a decent modern shower and a nice large tub, and was clean.

Another feature of cave rooms is that the cave ceiling is constantly dropping white rock dust onto the bed and the floor, so though they clean it every day, it will always be around. This is obviously not the fault of the cleaning staff, just part of being in a cave.

The decent breakfasts were in a very pleasant sunroom with spectacular views. The hotel is well run with ample help to arrange tourist activities.

I would stay there again, but in the Classic Hotel, rather than the Boutique Suites Hotel, and only if we could get a room in an actual fairy chimney, and one with a little more light.

Unique Quality: Many rooms in the other half of the hotel, the Classic Hotel, are built into fairy chimneys.

Best cave hotel

We found the Kelebek on the net. We wanted to stay in a cave hotel but what attracted us the most was the prospect of a fantastic view of the strange formations from the hotel.We were not disappointed!

We stayed in the pension part of the hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff friendly and breakfast was one of the best offered throughout our stay in Turkey. There was an internet available and the dinner meals they served also looked good. They also picked us up and dropped us back at the bus station. The hotel itself is very close to the main centre of town(which is not big) and we were able to walk in very easily (even in winter)to have a meal.

In addition we were able to hire a guide from the hotel.He was excellent!See separate tip.

Unique Quality: The view!!!

Excellent Getaway

by TripAdvisor Member quicksilver033

I have stayed at Kelebek hotel for 3 nights.I have spent alot of time in the lobby with Mustafas.There are 3 Mustafathat ı have met and all of them are nice and kind.
I had lunch with staff and we had very nice salad with hotpot. I had dinner in the hotel as well which was excellent and I reckon people to eat there bcoz there are not many nice restaurants in Goreme.

I have stayed at Goreme which was cool at night with fairy chimneys in the streets. Who says goreme is small, I got lost twice in the middle of the night and there was no one to ask where my hotel is.

I went to Explore and Hike tour with Mustafa who was our guide and I highly recommend to visit main attractions with him.He is a excellent guide.He knew all about the churces and valleys very well.Especially,hiking at rose valley was great adventure and insipiring part of my visit.

All in all,I have spent lovely 3 nights at kelebek hotel.I would absolutely stay there again.

Great Stay in Goreme

by TripAdvisor Member turkeywanderer

Hadn't planned to go to Cappadoccia but decided to the last minute on the advice of a lovely couple we met on the beach in Chirali. They are residents (own a cave house) of Goreme and insisted we go. They called Kelebek and made our reservation. Soooooo--- having no idea of what we were really in for, we took off on a long day's drive and arrived late evening. Goreme is the place to stay and Kelebek one of it's best. The views are fantastic, the rooms truly authentically Turkish decorated, and staff warm and helpful. A very unique hotel in a remarkable location with great views of this awesome cave house town. Like something of a moonscape! We stayed in room 13 and later moved to room 10. Both were cave rooms. I wasn't too sure I would like staying in a cave but these rooms were attractive with modern baths and all amenities of a good hotel. ( Good pics. on their website of each room.) While there a member of our party had an ear infection. They made an appointment with an ENT Dr. in the next town and sent an employee with us to find our way to his office. ( Good doc., up to date equipment, 2 office visits cost $50.00 total.) People who lived in the area of the Kelebek were friendly. We were there in Oct. when squash was being harvested and people were sitting outside the walls of their homes with the orange squash. A drink on the Kelebek terrace in the evening is pure ecstacy!

transport in cappadocia

by ann1365

I have limited time to visit here and would welcome any advice on getting there from Izmir. Would IStanbul to goreme be better/easier? I only have a few days to spend there so can anyone suggest a tour company in cappadocia I can use for day tour given my short time available? I am travelling alone so would welcome advice

cheers

Ann

Re: transport in cappadocia

Either way, it will probably take the same time. I think Izmir to Goreme may be easier. the buses go everywhere. I stayed at Kelebek hotel in Goreme, which was great, and took a tour with them. Sarap was a great tour guide! Good luck travelling alone if you are female! The men can be quite annoying. Get a seat next to another female on the bus.

Re: transport in cappadocia

Hi Ann, in Cappadocia I advise you to stay in Goreme..Kelebek hotel..I stayed there last summer for one week. Very friendly, beautiful hotel with stunning views..and very cheap, too! They also do 1 day tours of Cappadocia which take u all over the place..including the underground cities...very comprehensive. Costs 40 dollars inc. entrance fees and great lunch by the river.10 out of 10
Also they offer other tours..including Whirling dervishes performing at an ancient khan..at night..great!
Best of luck...if u need further info. contact me....Conrad
