Alphan Cappadocia

Small hotel with a few rooms. Located on a rural street, far from the center. The rooms are clean, the hostess (the only employee of the hotel) is friendly and willing to meet requests, but speaks only Turkish, we communicated with the help of a translator)) in the annex to the building where breakfast is held it is very cold, the rooms are also cool, there is no heating it worked (we were there at the beginning of May) We lived in room No. 4. There was a strong smell of sewage in the bathroom, it needed to be cleaned (I read this in reviews before). WIFI only works in the reception area, next to the router. WIFI does not work in the rooms(( Breakfast is very modest, there is no coffee, always only Turkish tea, a few small pieces of cheese, always less than 5 pieces, a little olives and black olives, a lot of bread. One small saucer with jam and one small saucer with honey. A few slices of tomatoes and cucumbers. And that’s for 5 people. (Three of our friends lived in room No. 5) The hostess always brought scrambled eggs from the hot dish, one small frying pan for 4 small pieces of scrambled eggs for 5 people! put wine in her refrigerator for cooling. The rooms do not have a TV, there is no air conditioning, there is no refrigerator. The description on the website indicates the size of the rooms as 70-90 square meters. This is not true. The rooms are small, about 12 square meters. And there is a very large double bed. The base of the bed is larger than the size of the mattress, so you constantly hit your feet against the wooden base. You can’t walk between the window and the sinkhole, there’s about a 20-centimeter gap.

The room, which is stated to have an area of ​​90 m2, is actually no more than 18 m2 with a bathroom! This is an error, intentional or not, but has not yet been corrected, from which I conclude that it is intentional! Don't be fooled by this, there are no rooms of this size at all! There is not a single hook for towels in the shower, which would be convenient! All the hooks are on the outside of the door, which you won’t even notice right away! No closet, just a hanger. For three people there is not enough space to lay out things. Breakfast is meager - scrambled eggs, rolls, honey, jam, cheeses, cucumbers and tomatoes, tea - all in small quantities. The village is small, everything is within walking distance, there is even an observation deck nearby, although not with the best view. For the rest you need a car. Street parking is free. The staff is friendly.

It was late at night when I flew to Istanbul from Yerevan and arrived in Cappadocia on a nine-hour bus. Zeynep was waiting for us at the door without prior contact, just an order email, waiting for a resident who had never met until late at night. For me who was traveling alone, it was good. I don't like making plans. Zeynep helped me call one by one to understand the specific time of hot air balloons, atv, hiking routes, and return buses. Zeynep asked me where to go next? I said that I wanted to go to the beach, but the language barrier did not bother her. I translated and handwritten recommendations for cities and places that she thought were good. life, like a.....encounter?

The room is clean and tidy, and the breakfast is rich. Since it is relatively hot this year, I feel a little hot before going to bed at night, but it cools down in the middle of the night.
