ShoeString Stone House Reviews

Hotel+travel agency services from this hotel to be avoided. Hotel surroundings are terrible, next to a construction dump and tire recycling. We had room with terrace view here was so terrible and depressing (please see pictures) that I have never used it. Cleanliness of hotel could be better (towels were worn out with rips and holes), shower was not well cleaned before us and room is rather dark (like the whole house (dark), it has some creepy atmosphere). In the hotel there are no nice outdoor facilities (unlike other hotels in Turkey where you have some nice terraces or open space for breakfast e.g.). At times there was a bad smell in the room (not clear where it came from). Lastly please be very careful with travel agency service offered here! Cetin is a very good and quick salesman and can sell you anything, very convincing and pushy. We paid following Horse riding tour was 50EUR/PP, 2 h sunset I saw prices afterwards that were cheaper. Ride itself was good (Flower Horse Farm) but would recommend to check with them directly to make sure you pay the correct price. We had also bought green (70EUR PP) and red tour (60EUR PP, afterwards I saw prices for latter45EUR PP), all to be paid cash,.Green trip was OK (most probably also with big extra margin), red trip (by voyager agency), complete disaster. Clearly mass tourism without respect for the customer. Just treated as cattle good to open wallet that is all, quality zero. Also to note nothing is organized here, you will be added to a group of 16 (existing group and you might be sure your bus will be full). So travel agency services here are selling services only (broker). So if you want to be sure you pay correct price avoid extra commissions and ensure good value for money, better to walk around first, know the prices or even better pre-book via Internet. In general Göreme is very touristic place and very fake. No locals live there. Purpose of this place is money machine, to get as much as money out of people as possible, no respect just sell (get out what you can get, empty tourist pockets, milk the cows). The stay at this hotel and the way we were treated with the red trip offered by hotel left me with a very sour after taste after visit to Cappodacia. For second part of holidays (unfortunately 2 nights only), we stayed in Avanos, we had much better feeling here, less commercial more honest and local prices and much more relaxed atmosphere and nice surroundings (river). So instead of looking for a hotel in Göreme you could consider staying in Avanos (e.g. Avanos Suites – alcohol free). In Avanos, all services you need as a traveller are available also travel agencies to do Cappadocia tours, we found out that price of food and gifts in Avanos is 1/3 compared to Göreme.

The hotels is so good and the service the people here managers and all is very very very kind and friendly when ever i came to cappadocia in future will stay here again very much satisfied with the service and the breakfast was also good ❤️💕

The hotel was decent. The room had three separate beds; one of them being a queen size and the other two are single beds. The bathroom is nice; has a jacuzzi in the shape of a heart, very cool. The location is also good; you are very close to various markets.

Great breakfast friendly people clean rooms

Very good location in the city center. The breakfast wasn’t really a buffet, this has to be improve.

The hotel's facilities are also complete, in line with the price! The room is also large and has all the necessary equipment! If you want to watch hot air balloons, there is no rooftop here, but it is still cost-effective!

Stayed for 3 nights. Very convenient location. Not quite in the center, but 7 minutes walk to the morning. True, there is construction near the hotel, but this did not interfere with the rest. Breakfast is varied and delicious. The room has a refrigerator, water, tea, coffee, kettle. Slippers, everything for hygiene. True, the maid did not update the standard set every day, but this did not stop me. The room has radiators and air conditioning. Purely. Stylized as a cave. Nearby they sell the best baklava (melts in your mouth). You can order food in your room from a hotel partner. There is a travel agency at the reception, but I needed to use the services.

I liked everything, the location is on a quiet street, 5 minutes walk from the center. Breakfasts are great, hearty. The hammam is of course just a name, there was a sink and that's it.

Dirty reception no condoms lying around in the room incorrectly gives you say in response you came late

Good location just outside the Goreme shopping and entertainment area. About 350 metres. Discreet structure, large rooms but a lot of dust and dated furnishings. Outside the hotel there is a construction site with scrap everywhere so not a nice view. Decent breakfast. If I were to return I would choose something else or a cave hotel in the centre.

This was my favorite hotel on this trip! The room was also nice. There is also a delicious bakery nearby, which is convenient. I still want to use it!

The hotel is very good. We had a deluxe room with a balcony. The staff is very friendly, responsive. Breakfast from 8.00-10.00 h. Very tasty and varied. Departure until 11.00 am. which is convenient. The room has everything, refrigerator, coffee, tea, kettle to boil water. 1.5 liter bottle of water. Excellent bed. I liked everything very much. Thanks for the hospitality. I recommend the hotel to everyone.

The location is not great, but only from the point of view of looking around. There is construction and garbage all around. The hotel itself is excellent in terms of price and quality. The room is spacious, warm, but not stuffy, everything is there. Breakfast is not rich, but you won't leave hungry. Cafes, restaurants and shops are a three-minute walk away. There are no problems with parking the car.

Super séjour
