I came to this airport with Turkish Airlines. The airport name is “Nevşehir Kapadokya Havalimanı” in Turkish. When we go outside the airport, there are many people waiting for us. From the airport to the hotel, we will take a shared shuttle bus (charged). Although it is expensive, we can also get a private car from the airport to the hotel. Leaving the airport. There are houses. The airport is 30km from the center of Cappadocia, and we’ll need to take a shuttle bus for a while. The hotel we are going to this time is located in Uchisar, an ancient city in Nevşehir Province. It takes 30 minutes by car from the airport to the hotel. The car entered the Uchisar area. The car is shaking because of the rough road. The hotel is located at the highest point in Uchisar. We arrived safely. The name of the hotel is “MUSEUM HOTEL”. The road in front of the hotel. It is spacious. This hotel was officially opened in 2003. It is the only luxury hotel in Turkey that is a member of Relais & Châteaux. When we enter the gate, we will see a stone building with the reception. The hotel is operated by Turkey’s Indigo Group and is highly regarded for its sustainability. It is a stylish stone building. Let’s go inside. Reception and lobby. Winner of the World Luxury Hotel Awards in 2015. The lobby is beautifully decorated. The welcome drink is pomegranate juice. We sign a pledge. It is about basic manners such as not breaking furniture, not climbing walls, and not smoking. Check-in form. There is a dog. It seems to be a dog owned by the hotel. Dog food. This hotel has a “living museum” concept. Hundreds of historical artifacts from the old Ottoman Empire are on display. A copper helmet from the 16th century Ottoman Empire. There are also many other items on display, including swords. Before the room tour, I would like to take a look at the common areas of the hotel. First, there is a shop. It is written as an interior shop. It is a stylish shop. They sell items that are perfect for souvenirs and gifts. Ethnic costumes. Cappadocia wines. Pottery and cosmetics. Let’s leave the shop and go further inside. A cannon? No, it’s a large unglazed pot. Bricks and a fountain. An open view of Goreme area. This is the upper terrace. Further up is the yoga and herb terrace. It seems that the herbs here are actually used in the restaurant. Let’s take a look at the upper terrace. There is antique furniture, and we can sit on the sofa and relax. It is decorated with plants and red flowers, and has a good atmosphere. We can enjoy the terrace below and the magnificent view. It was a wonderful upper terrace. Let’s take a look at the lower terrace. There are outdoor tables for the bar and restaurant. The view from the terrace is amazing. In the early morning, we can watch the hot air balloon flights from the terrace. It is a large terrace with various tables and chairs. It offers the most impressive views of the region, including the Göreme Valley. We can see the Turkish flag and the #UCHISAR monument. Let’s explore the terrace a little more. This is the outdoor bar. We can enjoy a variety of cocktails and spirits. To the amazing outdoor pool. It is an infinity pool with a great view of the surroundings. The word “unique” is written on the green mat. As the word suggests, this is a unique hotel. It is a Roman-style pool with a great design. The pool is heated and the temperature is kept comfortable. There is only one restaurant in the hotel. The restaurant is named “Lil’a”. The inside of the restaurant also has an antique atmosphere. Even at the entrance of the restaurant, historical artifacts such as old costumes and pottery are displayed. Let’s take a look inside the restaurant. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Window seats are popular. The restaurant is divided into two areas, the front and the back. The restaurant offers the quintessence of Turkish cuisine, a fusion of Anatolian and Cappadocia flavours. There is a wide selection of Cappadocian white and red wines. Other wines and champagnes. Cocktails and spirits. The library is located under the stairs. There are also tables on the terrace. Let’s take a look at the breakfast menu.

Cereals, fresh juices, hot drinks. Salads and olives. Anatolian cheese selection. Yogurt, honey, butter, jams, dried fruits. Breads. Gözleme. Turkish pancakes. Menemen. Turkish scrambled eggs.

The outdoor tables are spaced far apart, which is nice. Let’s take a look at the garden below. There is a chicken-like bird being kept. Indian peacock is kept here. It’s a beautiful peacock. A white bird appears. It is called a white peacock and is a white variant of the Indian peacock. Let’s move from the restaurant to my room. This is the turtle courtyard. There are turtles, but I couldn’t find any. The hotel has a total of 34 rooms. All 34 rooms are cave rooms. We go through narrow cave passages. This hotel was built by carefully restoring ancient ruins, caves, and abandoned houses. Some have been left as they were, while others have been beautifully restored. The passages are like a maze, and you may find yourself unable to find your room. My room is at the very back. Depending on where your room is, you may have to go down many stairs. Beautiful gardens and stone buildings. It is decorated with blue eye amulets, which are commonly seen in Greece and Türkiye. The price for one night in high season is between 630 EUR (742 USD) and 3,150 EUR (3,717 USD). There are 34 rooms, each with a different size, and the prices vary. This is the terrace in front of my room where I will be staying tonight. The price for one night is 3,150 EUR (3,717 USD). The room category is Muhteşem Pool Suite. Muhteşem means “magnificent” or “spectacular” in Turkish. When weenter, we will first come to the living room.

The terrace has a 270-degree view, and we can see both the sunset and the sunrise. Illuminated stone buildings. Sunset. The pool at night has a romantic atmosphere. The pool at night is fantastic.

I wasn’t very hungry, so that was all I ordered for dinner. If I was hungry, I would have liked to try the tasting menu. Let’s go back to the room. Cappadocia has both real cave hotels and hotels that have been remodeled to look like caves. This hotel is a real cave hotel. Depending on the location of the room, you can enjoy the view of the Goreme Valley from the window of your room. Let’s go back to the room and check if the turndown service was done. To the pool. No particular changes. The cave passage is beautiful at night. Hammam. No particular changes. Another living room. Bedroom. Indoor slippers were placed here. Sweets were placed on the bed. Water was placed on the bedside table. The amenities were simple. Toothbrush, toothpaste. Razor, cotton set, etc. It seems that some cave hotels do not have amenities, so it seems better to have amenities. The water pressure in the shower is strong enough. Let’s rest in the jacuzzi in the cave. Since it is inside a cave, ventilation is not good, so it may be easy to get humid. To the next morning. Around 6:00 am. One of the things that tourists want to experience when they travel to Cappadocia is a hot air balloon flight. There are hot air balloons already flying. They are preparing for the hot air balloon flight over there. Let’s go to the terrace. We can watch the hot air balloon flight from the terrace of this hotel. We can see a 270-degree view from the terrace, and the sunrise is also beautiful. After 6am, the number of hot air balloons flying has increased. They are flying quite high. Around 6:30am. Hot air balloons take off from the Goreme Valley, or from places near the Rose Valley and fairy chimneys. There are many hot air balloons flying around there (around Goreme). The takeoff times vary depending on the tour company. There are many hot air balloons around there. One hot air balloon flying alone in a faraway place. A beautiful sunrise. About 100 hot air balloons are flying. Before 7am. There are hot air balloons that have already finished flying. I recommend staying at the hotel for more than two nights. Because we don’t always get to ride a hot air balloon. The probability of a hot air balloon flying is about 80%, about 280 to 300 days a year. The best season for hot air balloon tours is around April to September. In winter, from November to early April, there is a high possibility of flights being canceled due to snowfall or bad weather. The good thing about this hotel is that it has both a nice cave room and a terrace where we can see the hot air balloons. I enjoyed watching the hot air balloon flight from the hotel. Around 7:30am, most of the hot air balloons had finished flying. It seems that they also offer a haircut service on the terrace. We will go to the restaurant again for breakfast. Near the entrance, there are nuts and other things. Breads, hot plates, kitchen. This? Old historical artifacts are on display. A true museum. I stayed at this hotel for two nights, and this is my second breakfast scene. The table by the window is the best. The breakfast menu is the same as before. Yogurt, bread, cheese, etc. are provided at breakfast every day. Salad, mixed nuts, dried fruit, olives, etc. Turkish tea. Regular black coffee. Scrambled eggs. Homemade Sujuk. Omelette. Mushroom casserole. Potato croquettes. There is a decent a la carte menu, so we were able to enjoy breakfast without getting bored even when staying multiple nights. After 8:00am. Some hot air balloons start flying after sunrise. Magnificent view. Back to the room, prepare to check out. It was a bit of a hassle to have to turn off the lights one by one at night. That said, the cave room this time was spacious, unique, and very nice. Check-out time is 12:00. However, due to flight time, we will check out early. Check-out at the reception where we came when we checked in. We had already paid for the room, so this was an additional charge. Shuttle bus to the airport. Drive through the city of Uchisar. During my two nights’ stay at the hotel, I took two tours, so I’ll show you those in another video. One is a hot air balloon tour.
