What’s Artemis Cave Suites like?
These beautiful cave suites built right into the rocks of Goreme, one of Cappadocia’s main towns, are up there with my favourite places I’ve ever stayed.
It’s locally owned with helpful and friendly staff, they can organise activities like hot air balloon rides and horse trekking for you, and it’s in a brilliant location for watching the balloons.
How was the room?
My room was huge, with a large bed as well as a TV, a wardrobe, a desk and a nice bathroom with toiletries. Cappadocia cave hotels can get cold but my room had an air con/heater so no issues there.
How about the facilities?
Artemis Cave Suites has a number of different rooftop areas for balloon spotting and photos, which was ideal!
There are three rooftops decked out with colourful cushions, rugs, fruit platters and tea trinkets to take your photos to the next level, and there’s also two different areas for eating and drinking in the sun.
And if you want an authentic cultural experience, try out their Turkish Bath!

The verdict
Staying in a Cappadocia cave hotel with a rooftop terrace was on my bucket list, and Artemis Cave Suites did not disappoint!
It felt homely, the room was comfortable and the location was brilliant, but most of all, those rooftop terraces were the most incredible place to be at sunrise. Even though it was November and was damn cold!
It’s definitely one of the best cave hotels in Cappadocia, and I’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

All the basic details from my big 52 in 52 trip:
How do you find your flights? Skyscanner! I use the Everywhere tool to find the cheapest place to fly to each Tuesday
