What to look for when choosing a cave hotel
- Location: Whether the hotel is in Ürgüp, Göreme or Uçhisar changes where tours start and how long transfers take. Masal Cave Suites is 100 m from the centre of Ürgüp and 6 km from Göreme Open Air Museum.
- Room type: Truly rock-carved (cave) rooms and stone-built (stone) rooms feel different; Masal Cave Suites has both.
- Amenities: Look for a jacuzzi, private pool, heating, a terrace and the type of breakfast. Masal Cave Suites has jacuzzi rooms and a suite with a private pool.
- Transport: Ask whether airport transfers are available. See our airport to hotel guide for options.
- Tours: Arranging balloon, ATV and horse riding tours through the hotel saves time; Masal Cave Suites organises these tours.
- Season: In high season (April–June, September–November) book early. More in when to visit Cappadocia.
