Kelebek Special Cave Hotel

Kelebek Special Cave Hotel sits above the village of Göreme, within the national park, and sells itself on views of the village, the valleys, the hot air balloons and the mountains beyond. Cave rooms are part of the offer, though only some rooms are carved into the rock. Others are described as cave-stone rooms.

The rooms

The hotel describes its “specially crafted” rooms as offering either a cave or a cave-stone experience. According to the hotel, the fairy chimneys on the property contain cave rooms over thousands of years old. Ask when booking whether your room is a true cave room.

Facilities

The hotel offers a traditional Turkish bath and an outdoor swimming pool. It is pet friendly. There is free street parking, and a concierge service where guests can arrange activities, including balloon rides, through reception. A regular shuttle runs from both Kayseri and Nevşehir airports.

The setting

Most rooms and terraces look out on the balloons, and the hotel bills its views as the best among Cappadocia’s cave hotels.

Practical notes

Check-in is at 14:00 and check-out is at 12:00. Its booking engine also lets guests choose Sultan Cave Suites, Seki Cave Hotel or Aza Cave Hotel.
