“Handsome setting, quiet, and charming.”

This is one of two adjacent hotels owned, it seems, by a family, located at the edge of town. In July 2009 the surroundings and hotel were quiet. The building design is handsome, the furnishings (including lovely crafts objects) are, too, and the garden court where you dine in summer is most appealing. Our room had a vaulted ceiling, an embroidered coverlet, and carved doors. The other guests we saw were mature couples and singles, and well-behaved families, but this would also suit young adults who want a tasteful rather than hip atmosphere. The owner will try to sell you a carpet from his adjacent shop and steer you to his friend, a taxi driver, but you can resist and you'll still be treated well. He'll also tell you about a public bus to Goreme and provide a map of his town. It's a short walk downhill to the center of Urgup and not an arduous climb back up to the hotel.

“Very charming hotel with a few glitches (especially if you're over 5 ft 8).”

At first entrance the hotel seemed very charming with an inviting garden and seating arrangement, which remained the highlight of the hotel. We were traveling with our 3 children (2 of them teenagers). Therefore it sounded perfect that the hotel offered triple rooms, as well as family suite. So we were booked into the "Anatolian Suite", which consisted of a triple room adjacent to a double room. However, the room we stayed in was facing the alley behind the hotel (hence a constant smell of dirty water!!) plus the room was tiny all around. The shower was so small my husband couldn't bend down to wash his feet. And it didn't help that the tiny bed also had a foot board, making it impossible to sleep in any other position but fetal all night long. Having said all that, i would not rule out the Hotel, because it was also charming, well located and offering a nice B'fast. Make sure to request a larger room and stay away from the Anatolian suite. By the way, the hotel staff spoke very little English and it took us forever to find the place on our arrival, because no one cold tell us where to go. So make sure you go with adequate directions and a good map of the area.
