The location, the interior decoration, the music playing, the presentation, everything is good. I came here before and left much happier, but this time, the attitude of the employees... the fact that they did not make much effort for customer satisfaction, and especially the sullen looks of some of them, as if asking where did you come from? And they made a group table without saying anything... when there could have been another solution...!!Dogs and cats that wander around and give peace of mind, feeding them something good…The small closet in the room we stayed in was also a little small... but overall it was enough for a short holiday..Before leaving the hotel, the lady owner of the hotel listened to our complaints, took a close interest in us, made us happy with her gesture, and we left the hotel pleasantly again, they made us forget the minor unpleasantness.. That's why I changed my rating..

Just spent a weekend at Kale Konak and it was GREAT. The team was really helpful giving me tips and tricks on how to move around, where to eat, etc. Also, they help me organize my vacation there.It is really close to a stop where you can watch the balloons in the morning and, after taking pictures, you can have their AMAZING breakfast.

Easily one of the best hotels I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. The experience was better than any of the other five-star hotels I've stayed at. The rooms are beautiful and so cozy. The service was exceptional, we were taken care of in every way and barely even had to ask for anything given how attentive the staff is.It's located right next to Uchisar Castle so one of your adventures is literally across the street. This is a short drive from Goreme where many other Cappadocia attractions are, but to me the short drive is no big deal since most activity operators include hotel pickup and dropoff in the prices.The breakfast deserves a special mention, this was hands down the best hotel breakfast I've ever had - a massive spread of delicious food of every variety with fresh hot dishes coming out of the kitchen directly to your table. And the views from the dining room and courtyard are breathtaking, with the cutest little cats running around. I couldn't have imagined a better way to start my day if I tried, simply had to be there to experience it.

Our stay at Kale Konak was nothing short of magical. The ambiance of the hotel is enchanting, with its blend of traditional Turkish decor and modern comforts creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Each room is uniquely designed, adding a special charm and personal touch to the stay.The staff at Kale Konak were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready with a warm smile and eager to assist with any request. Amazing hospitality!One of the highlights of my stay was waking up to the stunning views of the hot air balloons rising over Cappadocia in the early morning. Watching this breathtaking spectacle from the comfort of the hotel was a truly unforgettable experience. We literally woke up and walked to the rooftop and could see the incredible views!The traditional Turkish breakfast served each morning was the perfect finishing touch to my stay. The variety and quality of the dishes were outstanding, offering a delicious and authentic taste of local cuisine.Overall, Kale Konak is a gem in Cappadocia, offering unique rooms, amazing views, and wonderful hospitality.
