We took an overnight bus, so we got into Goreme around 8AM. That is well in advance of a normal hotel check-in time. When we got to the Kelebek Hotel, they were serving breakfast. They let us store our luggage for a couple hours, have breakfast, and relax. They didn't even charge us for the breakfast (which may have been the best we had in Turkey) even though we weren't technically guests yet. That was very generous, and I am really grateful for their hospitality. Especially after a bus ride that included a minor car accident.
Regular Room
The regular rooms are all in varying degrees of closeness to the reception office. They are 50 Euro a night and offer a double bed, en suite bathroom, and breakfast. The price may sound high, but the rooms are very well-kept and the hotel services (free tea and coffee all day, breakfast, connections with travel agencies) make up for a slightly higher price. Our room was easily the warmest we had in all of Turkey. There were pipes connected to our radiator that ran through our room to other radiators. They were so warm that we were able to keep our heater off the entire time. The shower was a little small and it leaked, but neither one of us cared. The bathroom was toasty warm and stepping out of the shower in the morning was pleasant. In other words, you didn't freeze the second you stepped out. The regular rooms were as nice as any hotel we stayed in, and we would highly recommend them.
Junior Suite
This was one of our splurges in Cappadocia (95 Euro for the room). It is our honeymoon after all. The room is absolutely beautiful. Luckily, we decided to take the balloon ride early morning and then relax in our suite all day. It has a sitting room with a television and a working fireplace (which they supplied with wood), a king sized bed, and a jacuzzi. Plus, they left some Turkish Delight for us to munch on. After dinner we let Amanda and Dennis check out the suite, because they were thinking about getting one their last night in Cappadocia. After they left, we took a bath in the jacuzzi and then made a fire and sat around until we decided to go to bed. This room was one of the best we had all trip. It's right up there with the hotel we stayed at in Nizhny Novgorod.
