Argos In Cappadocia - Special Class, Nevsehir

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely hotel in Cappadocia. Overall, really worth it. I would've liked to stay for longer and enjoy the views, the hospitality, the location, etc.

Pros: • Family suite was quite spacious and tastefully laid out and decorated, including a vintage writing table. • Beds were soft and comfy. Amenities and toiletries were high-end. Toilet was in a powder room, separate from the main shower and dressing area. • Our quarters were inside a gated house, one of the few 'houses' that comprise the hotel property. The views were amazing from every place (no view from the room itself), including multiple terraces. Plus the room had a separate area for viewing hot air balloons and the valley. • Restaurant two-street levels down. Fantastic breakfast service with valley views, that thankfully started at 7 am (unlike 8 am at other places -- which conflicts with many tour pick-up times). Dinner was great as well -- you don't have to go down to Goreme town center if you don't want to. • Front desk was helpful and efficient. Isa, manager, speaks perfect English. They're a classic concierge service, arranging taxis, reserving seats at the 'sama' performance (twirling sufi dervishes), and confirming tour pickups. • Walking access to Uchisar Castle and surrounding village and the several trails documented by travelogues. Capadoccia was generally laid back and friendly. Cons: • The shower/dressing area has no door which made privacy a bit awkward. But it's spacious enough that the family can navigate "without looking." • Staff was a bit formal. I felt I was expected to match the 'standard' of the affluent tourists. : )

Argos is a unique property with stunning views of the magical Cappadocia landscape of fairy chimneys and cave dwellings from the restaurant terraces and public areas. Our cave room, 3505, on the other hand was another story, with no view from the double glass doors nor the terrace outside which was a bit disappointing. While the room was spacious the furnishings were a little tired and could definitely do with updating, particularly the lumpy purple lounge/sofa bed. The hotel’s restaurant, Seki, unfortunately did not live up to reputation with a somewhat limited menu and chaotic service, particularly at dinner, due to overstaffing. The staff in general were at best disinterested apart from the new manager who we met at breakfast several times and who hopefully will be able to make some much needed changes throughout the property. On a positive note the wifi was great and the location certainly cannot be beaten, especially its fabulous views of the balloon flights at sunrise!

Excellent hotel with top class 5 star rooms and facilities, excellent house keeping service and very efficient and every smiling staff. Superb views and close to city.

Very unusual and special place which is well worth visiting
