We stayed at one of the delicately restored cave rooms on the hilltop, overlooking a part of the lovely Ortahisar village, We woke up to an amazing view, with birds singing, in a very calm and quiet surrounding, but still minutes away from all the famous highlights. The room was very charming, elegantly decorated and super-clean, and we also had a . We found the bed and pillows to be extra comfy after a long day of hiking and stair-climbing in touristic areas. And thanks to our hosts Cemal and Ruth, we felt like we were home; they made sure that we had more than everything we need

I stayed in suite 99 in the units across the little road from breakfast and reception. If you are ok with steps up a few terraces the flat is gorgeous. Impeccably decorated with a collection of Ottoman antiques, incredible carpets and gorgeous textile artwork. The are multiple day beds to curl up to read a book, large windows in both rooms and a wonderful large bed with fresh linens and excellent pillows. An ensuite tea service and an upstairs private terrace and bathroom with large shower and plenty of clean towels. Besides the beauty of the rooms the great joy is the view into the central village of old Ortahisar. Epic. I’m happy I could easily negotiate the metal spiral staircase that leads to the upstairs bathroom and private terrace. If a person has mobility issues I know there are more suitable and equally beautiful suites on the property. …

The hotel is great but impossible to get a hold of any staff to book the accommodation, had to call 3 different numbers for 3 hours before they picked up the phone. when we checked out of the hotel I had forgotten couple of dress's and my husband left few pieces of clothing behind the bathroom door. We tried calling so many times but we couldn't get a hold of anyone, finally got a hold of someone and a man took my number and he said to call back and that they will pass the message to manager of the hotel, never got a call back . I kept calling for 4 days finally a man picked up and basically he said sorry we cannot do anything about it and no one has found anything, In reality is either the staff took them or they just didn't even bother looking for it. In normal circumstances a hotel would keep the item for few days and if no one calls for them they get rid of it. when we checked in the hotel room someone had left a pair of pants in the closet so how is it that my clothing just went missing. I'm very disappointed by the experience that started so good and ended so bad and unfortunately would not recommend anyone to a place like that.…

I was lucky enough to wake up at this charming boutique cave hotel on the first morning of 2022. Set in the picturesque unspoiled village of Ortahisar, Elaa Cave hotel is tiny, immaculate and exquisitely decorated, with a special focus on local antiques and authentic Turkish rugs. I can’t speak highly enough about the delightful, friendly and kind staff. The calm and cosy cave arch room was the perfect counterpoint to the evening’s celebrations. After a sound sleep in the very comfortable bed, and a delicious made-to -order breakfast, 2022 looked very positive indeed.

This hotel is absolutely lovely. The owners, Ruth and Cemal are very hospitable, and together with their team will ensure you have a lovely stay in their beautiful cave hotel. Each room individually decorated with trukish antiques. The beds are comfy and you have a coffee and tea making facility for when you want to have your cuppa tea. The breakfast is lush and typically Turkish, which in my opinion is one of the best breakfasts in the world. You have an amazing view from the roof terrace over ortahisar. If you are looking for a quiet get-away in Cappadocia, then Ella cave is the best place to go.

Amazing hotel for a short stay. The room is clean and tidy. Generous and presentable breakfast. The hotel is walking distance to the centre. The Turkish lady at the reception was so friendly and supportive. Highly recommended.

I have to say this was a hidden gem in Ortahisar within Cappadocia. The rooms were very rustic and authentic for a true Cappadocia experience. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable about what we should explore in the area. I truly appreciated their dedication in being a concierge and arranging for activities while ensuring that we enjoyed ourselves. The views from the rooftop are stunning in the daylight and evening. The breakfast was very Turkish and yummylicious.
