Elif Star: On Track but out of the Way
Elif Star was a great small hotel for our and a friend's two night trip to see Cappadocia. The rooms were pleasant, the water was hot, the bed comfortable, and breakfast sufficient. Our hosts were welcoming. Right in Goreme but a block or two up from the busier downtown, the location was quiet and accessible. Kadir was very helpful and friendly. The weather did not cooperate for a balloon ride this time but it was good enough for sightseeing. We enjoyed shopping at Sultan's Charm for Turkish bath towels and scarves.

Awesome concept (cave hotel) happy & helpful Staff
Very helpful and nice staff (Kadir, Mustafa & others) who go above and beyond expectations to make your stay comfortable. (Including help after we left, posting some small items left in bedside table to another country) We had a great time, saw amazing scenery, through green sightseeing tour & hot air ballooning - must do when in the area! Loved our stay and loved the area!

Disappointing
In my observation, you get good service at this hotel if you are (a) young and pretty female (b) book tours through hotel. If you do not fall under category (a) or (b) you are not valued as a guest and the service is indifferent.

What an awesome family and hotel to stay with
Having just finished 5 weeks of travel through Europe we would have to say this is definitely our favourite place. Our son and his fiancé were also with us, they have been travelling Europe and UK since September 2014 also voted this their favourite in all their travels. What a unique location in the world. Kadir was so helpful from when we booked our room through to our airport pickup, tours and airport drop off. Lovely family run business. Not flash but clean and comfortable and so so cheap. Nothing is too much trouble.

Wonderful Staff, Enjoyable Stay
A warm and wonderful couple runs this cave hotel that is just a few minute walk from the center of Goreme. The rooms are simple but comfortable, and breakfast can be eaten on the patio, or inside. The manager, who is also the tour guide, is very helpful and knowledgeable about his area. A day tour with him is definitely worth while, for both the experience and the price. The hotel is also priced fairly and I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed in a room with a patio overlooking a beautiful landscape. The patio was the highlight of our stay. Also, the Turkish breakfast was something I really enjoyed. I would recommend this hotel to other people wanting to come here.

A cave hotel with lots of ambiance
At the Elif Star Cave Hotel one experiences staying in a cave with a wonderful view and a charming family staff. Our room was quirky with a platform covering part of the floor (probably due to a stone). The accommodations are not luxurious but are comfortable and receive high marks for character.. The decor with Turkish rugs and accessories was charming. The room was dim, which was appropriate for a cave. We had to do our reading on the balcony which even had the best night lighting. The breakfast was substantial and tasty. We had dinner there one night and it was a lovely experience. Hosted by the father (motel manager), cooked by the wife, served by father, teenage sun, and preteen daughter. The younger son provided entertainment - dancing and gymnastics. The wine was made by the wife's uncle. One of the most memorable meals we had in Turkey.

The hotel is family run, its set in an ideal location and the rooms are great, perfect if you want a cave room . The town centre is a few minutes walk away.The manager Kadir can arrange all your tours at a price much cheaper than other tour providers and he provides an excellent service.

Quaint Cave Hotel
The Elif Star is roughly a five minute walk from the city centre, and is situated on a quiet street. They serve a decent breakfast to get you started for the day, and the staff is overall friendly. However, we did notice a change in our treatment as guests after it was discovered that we had booked a tour through an outside company. This, unfortunately, negatively impacted our time at the Elif Star.

Amazing cave hotel!
This hotel was awesome. The owner insisted on bus station pick ups and drop offs (free) even tho the hotel is only 500m away. The views from the hotel are awesome and he rooms themselves are so cool! THe owner was also extremely helpful with information about tours, but also with tips for those who would prefer to DIY, like us. Would definitely recommend this place!
