Recently we stayed at Esbelli Evi Cave House / hotel in Urgup .

Our suite of rooms were very well appointed and the bathroom was modern and spacious. It truly was a luxurious one-of-a-kind lodging. Our cave house even had a kitchen and living room.

The setting is beautiful. Sitting above Urgup, it is a very peaceful environment with courtyards and connecting stairwells throughout the facility. The owner / proprietor Suha Ersoz gave us an interesting tour through this centuries old site .

Speaking of Suha, one could not ask for a more gracious and interesting host. We were told by another hotel owner that when Suha opened  Esbelli Evi it was the first boutique hotel in Cappadocia! Throughout the day Suha was available to sit down with guests and go over maps of the area, day trip suggestions, restaurant recommendations, arrange transportation and the like. His love of the area and thorough knowledge of Cappadocia was readily apparent. 

In sum, Esbelli Evi is a wonderful and unique place to stay in Cappadocia. Suha's cave houses are way beyond the traditional hotel experience.

Very Memorable Lodging with Gracious and Interesting Host 

We stayed for three nights having traveled by car from Antalya.  The house we rented which came with breakfast is lovely and has everything you need. The house is well equipped even with a dishwasher. There was also an area you  could use to wash clothes.   The cave house was lovely and cosy with the heating being very efficient.  Breakfast was self service with the additional choice of cooked eggs. The omelettes were delicious.  We especially enjoyed the quietness of the complex and would come back if visiting the area. Location is out of the main town but is walkable but a steep walk back up the hill. We had a car so parked down in town but would be easy to get a taxi back up.  If you enjoy peace and quiet this is the place for you. Our host was brilliant on supplying us some great attraction information and had some great days out.  Cappadocia is an amazing area and one not to be missed.  Ürgüp was a great town with lots of choice of restaurants.

Lovely Quiet Cave House with great hospitality

Very nice hotel with a very good atmosphere...nice and cozy rooms..especially the rooms are cleanes and the staff are very friendly and helpful..Especially the owner Mr.Suha..he helped me alot to accomodate dinner for my whole group..i went there with a group of 27..and all of us are so satisfied with the hospitality from Mr.Suha..

Excellent cave hotel

My husband and I visited Cappadocia in fall 2021. After researching the cave hotels of Cappadocia extensively prior to our visit, we decided to stay at Esbeli Evi. We could not have made a better decision. 

We cannot use anything but superlatives to describe our experience at Esbelli Evi. Everything, from our cave house to the breakfast, the service and of course the owner, Suha’s guidance -- was just perfect. 

Well, I can go on and on describing how fabulous our rooms were, how delicious the breakfasts were, how gorgeous the view of the Cappadocia landscape was from the breakfast area, etc etc..... We will leave that to other reviewers.  What I would like to comment on is the warmth of our host and the exceptional welcome that we received. As all seasoned world travelers know, it is only through the genuine warmth of people that we can create an emotional attachment to a place, and so it was with Suha, Esbelli Evi and Cappadocia.  

Thank you, Suha, for making our stay so memorable. Esbelli is a slice of heaven and we are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience its beauty and spirituality. We hope to return someday.

A memorable stay

Truly exceptional hotel experience, we were upgraded to a cave suite and thoroughly enjoyed our stay of 4 nights. Location is excellent overlooking the city which is only a short walk down the hill. Staff are so nice, they will help you with any inquiry or booking you may need.

Amazing hotel in a cave.

My mother and I had two amazing days in Cappadocia at Esbelli Evi. Our room was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable, and very peaceful with our own private terrace. Breakfast at the terrace with a view of the valley was simple breathtaking, the hotel Is  at walking distance to the quaint town of Urgup and a 5 minute taxi ride to Gerome. We loved everything about Esbelli Evi but  what we loved the most was the excellent, caring and kind treatment we received from the staff at Esbelli Evi. Thank you so very much Dilge and Mr. Suha. Hands down the best cave hotel in Cappadocia!

Amazing days in Cappadocia

This was my second visit to Urgup and I decided to stay at Esbelli Evi once again. Mr Suha was most welcoming and accommodated myself and my wife in the honeymoon suite. I must say, this establishment surpassed my expectations the second time around. I would recommend this place to anyone who can manage to stay here. I learnt on this occasion that Esbelli was the first of the boutique cave establishments in Urgup over 30 years ago. (This was further confirmed by people within Urgup who were not known to me. Eg. The antique dealer Veli Baba, who has had his shop for 54 years. ) Nevertheless this once again proves that Mr Suha, being the owner has got his heart in his hotel. And this can easily be experienced when staying here. 

Even better

I found Esbelli Evi to be a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are spacious and spotless. The staff are friendly and helpful. The location is close to the town centre but far enough away to have peace and tranquillity. 

Peaceful 

My wife and two children (11 & 14) spent four nights at this wonderful hotel in August 2019. It is one of the very first cave hotels in Cappadocia. The owner, Suha, has over the past three decades purchased and connected 16 properties together to form a very unique and beautiful hotel. 

Truth be told, referring to it as a hotel seems like an insult. It is a work of art.

If you walk just a block over you can actually see what some of the cave dwellings looked like before homes/apartments were built around them. It is a historical site. Some of the rooms/caves in the hotel are literally over six-hundred years old. 

Not only are the rooms fun to stay in, the staff and service is outstanding. It is very quiet, clean, and peaceful. 

I understand that some people may prefer to stay in the center of the action, like in downtown Goreme. If so, then Esbelli Evi is not for you. However, if you are looking for a place to relax after a long day of exploring the area, while at the same time feeling like you are immersed in history, then Esbelli Evi is for you. 

For us, Esbelli Evi being only 10 minutes away from a majority of the sites and crowds, was perfect.

I've been to Cappadocia four times in my life and I've stayed in different hotels each time. I spent a lot of time looking at different hotels before selecting Esbelli Evi. Next time, and there will be a next time, I won't even bother looking around. I will simply call Esbelli Evi. 

A few notes:

1. If you  cannot handle stairs, then should not stay at Esbelli. However, this is going to be true of any of the hotels that are build around the original cave dwellings in the area. 

2. Suha has a wonderful breakfast on the terrace that is included. They will even fix an omelette for you. 

3. There are two very good restaurants nearby within walking distance. Both with beautiful views. If you want faster food, you need to go a bit further. 

4. There are two washers and two dryers available for guest usage. As we were in the middle of a long trip, this was perfect. It also felt very safe to leave our laundry unattended.

5. Bottled water and tea in your room is complimentary. Just this alone for me showed how much Suha has thought about his customers. He isn't trying to nickel and dime you.

Wonderful, Unique Hotel, with an owner that cares very much about his property

Suha welcomed us into this delightful cave hotel suite and we were overwhelmed by his warm hospitality and the charming comfort of his hotel.  Our suite had all the amenities that one could think of including robes, slippers, well-stocked fridge and antique relics.  When our car tire was flat on Saturday morning, no problem...he had the car driven off and the tire fixed and the car was back in 20 minutes.  What a kind and caring hotel owner. Breakfast outside overlooking the valley was so peaceful and a delicious assortment of breads, cereals and every egg combination imaginable.  Truly a remarkable experience.  We will be back in 3 weeks and cannot wait. Thanks, Suha!
