Ottoman Cave Suites is an upper-middle-range, family-owned boutique with sweeping views of Rose Valley and Goreme. Though located in the town center, the stone brick construction, central courtyard, and rustic accents give it a bucolic farmhouse vibe. The 13 spacious rooms and suites have Ottoman-inspired decor, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, and personal routers that allow for free, high-speed Wi-Fi. Other freebies include transport to/from the local bus station, unlimited bottled water (a rare find), parking, and a daily breakfast buffet with seasonal produce. Downsides, however, are that the cave suites are not carved from natural caves and there's no full restaurant on-site. Travelers might prefer the true cave-style Doors Of Cappadocia Hotel, which also has a restaurant and outdoor pool, but more expensive rates.

Doors of Cappadocia Hotel is an upscale, cave-style property that blends modern decor with historic elements and architecture. Set amid Goreme's "fairy chimney" rock formations, the hotel is a short walk from restaurants and tour meeting points. Its 18 cave-style rooms are cozy and furnished with a mix of classic and contemporary decor, plus amenities such as flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and large bathrooms -- some with both whirlpool tubs and rainfall showers. The hotel has a rooftop terrace with beautiful panoramic views, as well as an outdoor pool and restaurant, but there's no elevator, so guests must make the four-story climb to reach it. Travelers seeking something with more features should check out the Anatolian Houses, which has a spa but pricier rates.

This charming bed and breakfast enjoys fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and offers a plethora of romantic places to sit among stone terraces. Multiple guests have lauded the Elysee thanks in large part to the warmth of the owner and the willingness of the staff to help book travel and tourist activities. Guest rooms are rustic and comfortable if not luxurious. Some spaces have the particular appeal of having been carved into the rock of the hillside, giving one the sense of sleeping in a cave. Rates are competitive for a mid-range option in Goreme, but if this is booked, guests should check out the comparable Caravanserai Cave Hotel.

Anatolian Houses is an upscale, traditionally styled complex with 33 suites carved from ancient stone caves located in the center of Göreme town. The original architecture has been superbly maintained as has its wonderfully historic ambience, though with all the modern comforts you'd expect from a hotel of this caliber. The Roman spa is certainly impressive and the wine fountain is sure to appeal to many. But it's far from the cheapest option around, a few rooms are subpar, and service can be inconsistent. It's still certainly a contender for one of the finest hotels in town, though -- and rates are far from exorbitant.

The eight-room Dervish Cave House is a particularly charming and intimate hotel built in the typical Cappadocia style cut into the rock. Rooms are cozy and snug with more than adequate amenities, though small windows mean it can get a little humid (and there's no proper air-conditioning). Although bathrooms look basic, all provide jetted tubs. The highlight of the hotel, however, is the pretty garden terrace overlooking the wonderful surroundings. It all feels a little more secluded and quaint than most, if a little rough around the edges, but low rates give the property good value.

The 21-room Traveller's Cave Hotel is one of the more smartly presented properties in Göreme, both inside and out, while retaining plenty of rustic charm. It's not a family-run hotel, so service tends more toward the professional than the personal touch, but staff are still on hand to help organize anything from balloon rides to airport transfers. Rooms are also nicely finished (some have fireplaces and whirlpool tubs), while the spacious, plush, panoramic terrace is a real highlight. The location up a steep hill means it won't be ideal for those with mobility concerns, but all things considered, rates are more than reasonable.

One of the oldest cave hotels in the area, Kismet Cave House has built a loyal following of repeat guests who return for the hospitality as well as the unique, affordable lodging. It's an intimate hotel with just eight rooms operating like a bed and breakfast -- slim on facilities but big on personality with simple but delicious food and distinctive furnished rooms that show off the owner's collection of Turkish rugs. The similar Dervish Cave House across town has newer, less ornate rooms at slightly cheaper rates.

The 36-room Kelebek Special Cave Hotel offers an authentic Cappadocia cave experience but is a cut above many similar hotels by virtue of its excellent hammam and outdoor pool. The hillside setting means some wonderful views, though also a steep walk up to the hotel. Rooms are nicely finished, but amenities can vary widely -- as can rates -- so be sure to know which you're getting. Suites are particularly lavish and worth the extra outlay.

Many of the 30 rooms here are carved directly into the surrounding rock, making for delightful features like curved walls and indentations that have been turned into functional sections. The hotel, set about a 10-minute walk up a cobblestone street from the center of town, is fantastically terraced into the hillside, with stone patios facing multiple directions. Of note is the on-site restaurant, which is described by many visitors as excellent. Besides this and the attractive grounds, there are pretty much no additional major amenities.

Some of the eight spacious rooms of Vineyard Cave Hotel offer special luxuries like private whirlpool baths and personal hammams. The father and son team who run the property receive an endless stream of praise from guests, who note they will often drive visitors to their sightseeing destinations and are happy to offer suggestions for tourist attractions and culinary offerings. Of particular note is the large, shaded rooftop deck with spectacular views of the surrounding valley.
