Up until this stay, I thought I'd stayed at THE best Turkey had to offer. I was wrong, Esbelli Evi is definitely THE BEST boutique hotel I stayed at in the 4 weeks my husband & I were in Turkey. For starters, we were upgraded to a suite in which a family of 4 could comfortably have stayed a week... more

This is an excellent hotel, although possibly not for everyone. We had a "standard" room and while it was large, even by American standards with an over-sized bathroom it really is a cave and some people may feel it claustrophobic. Also, though I didn't explicitly check I don't know if it can accommodate guests with disabilities, I would suggest anyone... more

I used turkeytravelplanner and this site to pick this hotel. I can't imagine a hotel better than this in this area. The rooms are beautifully simple. Ours was partly carved into rock and partly made of stone blocks. There are great views of the area since it's above the town and away from the center a bit, but not too... more

We stayed in the suite and were awestruck when we were first toured through it. It is huge! This is a very unique place. The cave walls always kept the place at a comfortable temperature. The bathroom is massive and has built-in speakers with satellite radio. It has a second bed recessed back in a smaller cave which would be... more

This is a great hotel. Looks unimpressive from the outside but inside is so charming...it's like staying with a family in Cappadocia. Easy to meet other travelers in their living room and morning breakfast. Very nice and unique experience overall. Staff is very friendly and more than willing to help without the expectation of a tip with every service provided.... more

I stayed at this hotel as part of a large family group with a mix of adults, teenagers, and younger children. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the inn's unique character and homey atmosphere. The kids loved exploring the hotel, with its various levels and caves, while the adults enjoyed the serene ambiance (with excellent views of the area). The ongoing joke was... more

Keeping in mind the accommodation and staff at almost every other place in Turkey is ordinary or appalling, it really makes Esbelli Evi stand out as quite extraordinary. Mind you, I think Esbelli would be extraordinary in any country you plonked it in. GOOD STUFF * to our delight we were upgraded to a suite which was spacious, spotlessly clean,... more

We loved our stay at Esbelli, it was an incredible experience. Urgup as a base-town was an excellent choice....and we could not have chosen a better hotel. Suha and Ramazan were exteremly helpful, helped with car rental and balloon ride reservations and it is a very nice property. The hospitality was fabulous as was the feel of the place. Very... more

My fiance and I stayed at the Esbelli Evi a few weeks ago, and it is amazing! Somehow we lucked into a suite (I will request one for future stays), which had antique kilims, a fully stocked fridge, two giant rooms, a waterfall shower, and a little deck table in our own garden. Free breakfast is out on the terrace... more
