take a look at hotels online for Cappadocia and you'll be bombarded with a long list of
Cave hotels Cappadocia is a region in central turkey where people have been
living in the rock formations since the Bronze Age today we're in Göreme
the most famous town in Cappadocia known for its cave hotels and Epic
Hotel balloon rides rising up with the Sun. as we were researching places to stay
we came across this place
a cave hotel with only 5 star reviews on Tripadvisor and Google how is that even possible we're here to find out
good morning it's just after six o'clock in the morning on the roof Terrace of the Luvi cave
Hotel here in Cappadocia the sun has just come out loads of orange lights here so many people on The
Terraces taking some really really nice photos upon this Terrace we've got two little sections
well three sections really with a bar as well bars not open right now but yesterday we did have a few
drinks on here when it was absolutely roasting in the middle of the day but right now the views
are incredible there's about 150 balloons in the air right now that's about the max that
they're allowed to have flying at one time this is an epic roof Terrace the other morning we did
actually go up in one of these hot air balloons and it was insane I'm very scared of heights as
many of you already know so it was a little bit intense for me the first sort of 10 20 minutes
terrifying absolutely terrifying tears in my eyes very intense after that calm Serene beautiful so
seeing them now from the ground you can see how amazing of an experience they must be having up
there if you haven't watched that video yet then make sure you watch that after this because it
is quite the experience so as you can imagine we didn't just check in this morning we have stayed
here last night and we have to show you the room after this this hotel is special it's very very
nice we have stayed in another cave Hotel just before this place this one definitely tough to see
Welcome to our Luxury room here at Luvy Cave Hotel this place is so nice and let me show you and tell you why first things first
obviously with all of these cave hotels they're very much made out of stone often carved out of
caves but a lot of them are just built up sort of around the cave formations like this one the
reason we chose this specific one is because it is so bright we've stayed in another one which
is also very quaint and cozy but it was so dark I could hardly see the hand in front of my face here
bright easy breezy this hotel as a whole which you would have seen at this point looks almost
like a castle it's just stone walls Pathways everywhere staircases it's on very much different
levels because obviously it's built into whatever rock formation was already here and it makes it
really really unique this room itself is like Dome shaped it is very beautiful very Grand the reason
it's so bright writing here is because of these beautiful two big windows and tiny one over there
obviously there's also a lot of lights again it seems like many of the cave hotels go for
a very dim very sort of Moody look so it's really really nice having some lights I don't know about
you but when it's dark I get sad from this window you can actually see the hot air balloons and the
Sun is just coming straight in here this room is such a good location there's a few of them
scattered around at different levels there's some really big ones and I think this is one
of the smaller options there was only one left when we actually ended up booking and now it's
fully booked so I think we got pretty lucky with this one but that's so nice it's no surprise that
this place is fully booked because this place is awesome. Like Adriana was just saying it's literally
like being in a castle like a little fairy tale this room is just so so nice as I'm wearing a
dress and we've already slept in this bed I'm not gonna do a running start and a jump but I
have to tell you in the whole of turkey this is the best bed we've slept in the sheets are so
soft the pillows are so squishy it's just like ah it was almost a shame to get up so early before
the sunrise this morning because all I wanted to do was keep sleeping it is comfortable over
on this side there is a desk but as you can see it is tiny but you're not going to really want
to be doing any work here anyway because you're going to be outside looking at the balloons, going
to the town center which is absolutely beautiful as well we didn't know Göreme was so quaint and
beautiful with loads of wine bars and restaurants and stuff really really nice over here we have
some storage not loads little safe in the fridge a coffee machine and what you would not expect in
a cave is AC you actually need AC because it gets quite hot in here and there's no way for
this sort of heat to leave at places I forgot to pull off the plastic off this so I'm gonna do that
oh yeah and through here is the bathroom but as you can imagine in a cave there's no windows in
there so it is quite dark in there there is everything you need all the lotions and
Potions there is dressing gowns we were using them last night watching some YouTube on the
laptop super comfortable so far it's pretty easy to see why this place would have such
high reviews because it's amazingly situated it's got really beautiful rooms comfortable beds it's
got everything you need in terms of a hotel stay but I think the real reason that it's got such
high just five star reviews is probably because of the staff when we checked in yesterday they
were so accommodating really really friendly we were told numerous times by various staff to make
this place just our home I genuinely cannot wait for breakfast because I think we're going to love
it I'm absolutely starving we've been up since 4 30 this morning let's set for some breakfast
as we're walking to breakfast through this sort of Castle area we just want to mention how
amazing the view is from up here the view is just absolutely awesome isn't it yeah it's
higher than most of the places here in Göreme which means that when you sat up
on the roof Terrace there's not that many people above you so your views are pretty
much unobstructed of all of the hot air balloons because they all come down or
up or both on this side that we can view out over I'd stay here again oh 100% in a heartbeat
we've just come down to the breakfast hall now they don't have any other
restaurants or anything here it's just breakfast but it is literally
inside sort of down in a cave almost it's still got some windows and some
nice bright lights so it's not dark in here by anyways but this is so cozy
One plate. I'm gonna get some more food
We've just checked out the pretty epic spread here I think it's probably the best one we've
had in Turkey so far they've also got eggs and things like that but on the spread itself they've got Savory sweet they've
got my favorite which is kaimak and honeycomb which is basically that cream of Buffalo milk
that we had on the food tour in Istanbul with honeycomb it is the most delicious thing I think
ever eaten especially for breakfast and then I've also got my simit which is
yummy with some more Savory options like some cheeses some tapana some olives
oh and Turkish tea of course. okay so is this place worth all the five-star reviews? costing
only $97 for a luxury cave hotel in the hearts of Cappadocia we would have to say
yes the hospitality from the staff was the best we've had in turkey and there's a dog which is
a huge bonus for us from the beautiful fairy tale grounds with breathtaking views of Göreme to the
Cozy cave room and delicious breakfast spread this place will stay in our Memories Forever
