I had a wonderful stay at Melis Hotel in Cappadocia, where the beautifully designed cave rooms and stunning gardens made my visit memorable. The tranquil pool area was a perfect escape after a day of exploring, and breakfast in the garden was delightful. However, my experience was somewhat marred by a lack of warmth from the staff, as I felt largely ignored during my time there.

The cave rooms were unique and had a charming vibe, merging authenticity with comfort, though they were a bit small due to the rock structure. My bathroom was impressive with a large shower and a separate jacuzzi.

My stay at Melis Cave Hotel was truly enchanting with its unique cave rooms that provided a wonderfully cool and comfortable atmosphere. The location was perfect, being very close to major attractions, and the breakfast was a delightful buffet of local flavors. However, some rooms were quite stuffy and could get warm at night, so it's best to opt for a cave room. Overall, it was a charming experience that's worth considering for anyone visiting Cappadocia.

Our stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The cave rooms were truly unique and gave us an authentic experience of Cappadocia, while the hospitality from the owner made us feel right at home. However, we found the breakfast options to lack variety, and the mattress quality in our room was surprisingly poor, which detracted from our overall comfort. Still, the beautiful garden and pool area were perfect for relaxation.

Our stay at the Melis Hotel was highlighted by its charming cave suites and beautiful grounds. The owner added a personal touch that made us feel special during our stay.

Our trip to the Melis Hotel was truly unforgettable. The cave rooms provided a unique and cool ambiance perfect for the hot weather, and the setting with beautiful gardens and a pool was idyllic. The buffet breakfast offered a delightful variety, though the instant coffee was a bit of a letdown for a coffee lover like me. Although the prices for drinks at the hotel were on the higher side compared to the town, the convenience made it worthwhile. Overall, it’s a charming place to experience the beauty of Cappadocia.
