Hello everyone!
I'm still buzzing from our trip to Cappadocia with friends. We ended up staying at the Cappadocia View hotel, which wasn't exactly a tough choice - we were visiting during the Balloon Festival and most hotels in Göreme were fully booked, with prices to match. This was the only hotel with three available rooms, which was a lifesaver since we were traveling in a big group. The standard doubles cost 3,500 lira per night, while the triples were 4,500 lira. At the time, the exchange rate was 1 lira = 2 rubles.
Cappadocia View Hotel , Turkey, Göreme reviewsThe hotel is situated right on the edge of Göreme, just a short walk from the balloon launch site.
Cappadocia View Hotel , Turkey, Göreme reviewsIt's not far from the center of town either - Göreme is tiny, and it takes about 7 minutes to walk from the hotel to the main square. There's a massive Burger King right next door, as well as a cafe serving local food, a shashlik place, and a market.
The hotel is bookable through Russian and international services, but we booked directly by taking the hotel's phone number from Google Maps and sending a prepayment via IBAN.

Check-in was at 2 PM, while check-out was at 11 AM. We were checked in within a couple of minutes, and our documents were simply photographed and processed later without us, while we headed straight to our room.
Cappadocia View Hotel , Turkey, Göreme reviewsCappadocia View Hotel , Turkey, Göreme reviewsThe rooms themselves were pretty good - spacious, with an interesting design. The bed linen and towels were clean, and everything was in good condition. The only issues were a few broken tiles on the floor in a couple of rooms, and my room didn't have a hair dryer. They provided one for me on request at the reception, as well as an iron.
One of the things I loved about this hotel was the little extras they provided in the room - slippers, single-use soap, shampoo, and body gel. They also had water, tea, coffee, and a kettle available.

I was really impressed with the breakfast spread, which was from 8:00 to 10:00. It was a bit like a Swedish buffet - plenty of options, and everything was fresh and delicious.
The view from the hotel's terrace was absolutely stunning. You could see the mountains, and it was a great spot to watch the hot air balloons take off in the morning. We'd sit in one of the two gazebos on the terrace with a glass of wine in the evenings, and watch the sunset over Göreme. At night, the chimneys in the mountains were lit up, and it was really beautiful.
