Sacred House

Çağan & Gondal were excellent staff members and made the trip a wonderful experience! Sacred House is an AMAZING place and truly is one of the best places to stay in Cappadocia. It is beautiful, historic, quiet, and has everything you need!

From the moment I arrived at The Sacred House in Ürgüp, Gonal and Sinam made me feel like I was stepping into another world. Gonal was incredibly attentive from start to finish. He personally guided me through the hotel as if it were a museum, and in many ways, it was. Every corner of the property is filled with mind-blowing artifacts and imaginative design elements that make this cave hotel truly one-of-a-kind. Gonal went above and beyond to ensure my stay was unforgettable. He was always available to offer advice and expertly directed me to the most memorable experiences in Cappadocia. One highlight was the Turkish night he arranged for me - an immersive evening of authentic cuisine and rich cultural performances that I’ll never forget. I especially appreciated the detailed room tour. Gonal’s pride in the space and his attention to every feature elevated the experience to something truly extraordinary. This level of personalized service is rare and deeply appreciated. Saying goodbye to Gonal and Sinam was genuinely bittersweet. They made my time in Ürgüp incredibly special. I’m already looking forward to returning to this enchanting hotel and reconnecting with the wonderful people who made it feel like home.

We decided to stay there for the concept and it exceeded expectation.

Absolutely one of the most stunning hotels I’ve stayed in! It’s more than a hotel… it is unique and impressive in so many ways. I felt I’d entered through the front doors in to another time and place. The staff were very helpful, kind and thoughtful. My room, Fairies Nest was divine, I felt I was sleeping in a decadent castle. The swimming pool was so beautiful and warm I didn’t want to leave. I loved every moment of my stay. I hope to return one day!

Nothing !

Sacred House is easily one of the most unique and best hotels we’ve ever stayed at—perhaps even our number one in terms of uniqueness! Everything was absolutely perfect, exactly as expected, and the entire experience was mind-blowing. From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming staff made us feel at home. They assisted with parking, ensured a smooth check-in, and gave us a fantastic introduction to the hotel and our room. The sacred, old-royal ambiance throughout the property is truly mesmerizing. A special highlight is the Blood Pool, our absolute favorite feature, offering a truly unique experience with free access to the sauna and hammam bath. Our second favorite was the amazing breakfast, and lastly, the indoor bar and garden, which added even more charm to our stay. If you're looking for a truly unique stay in Cappadocia, this is the place. Plus, it’s just a short walk to Ürgüp city center, making everything easily accessible. Incredible value for money—highly recommended!

Nothing. everything was perfect.

Nice and romantic setting with great attention to detail. The hotel staff was professional and helpful throughout

Breakfast was great but we didnt like the dinner service that much

Such a unique property We loved loved loved everything in there Staff are great food is amazing , can’t say enough about the interior and the architecture of the hotel Simply in love

The significance of the house.

No internet working for travelers who has no phone number to get SMS verification code. (some travelers would buy SIM card without phone number but only internet.)

The detail in decoration, the rooms are amazing, the displays are interesting to look at, and the sauna area was cozy.

The location was okay, I did prefer Goreme more, they also had more cute little shopping streets and nicer views there. The hotel as such was incredible, but it wasn't as welcoming, and warm as I had hoped. The staff does their jobs, but it feels like they are forced to and don't enjoy it, which is not a nice feeling. There were some communication mistakes as well which weren't really cleared up in the end but I let it slide since I didn't want to have any problems during my holiday. I would not recommend staying for more than a night or two.

Lovely hotel, the staff were always smiling and the reception was excellent, especially from Mustafa

the building is like the one in ancient tales. also the breakfast is sooo amazing

the room is a bit too hot

Loved everything about the property. It’s a boutique hotel and it has a theme they are going with. LOVE THE OPIUM ROOM.

The theme of the hotel is very nice, but sometimes it’s to much sit the music they play. The owner of the Hotel is a genius when it comes to design of the hotel. But when he is around it feels uneasy.

A very unique boutique hotel, staff were very professional, and facilities are excellent, I will most definitely stay again, Make sure you try the swimming pool

everything was perfect

the grounds and property are beautiful

The aircon was very tricky to use, music played around the property is abit to loud and goes on for most of the day and well into the night. i inquired into the green tour and ATV tour but apart from the price the staff couldnt tell me much else about how long and what areas the tours would cover, i think keeping some brochures on hand to share with guests would help.

Very attentive staff, absolutely beautiful interior design

This was my second stay at Sacred House. This time I was in the Dreaming Suite. The decor was on theme with an Angel over the fireplace and light blue clouds with French Versailles/Old Paris style furnishings of two chairs and a wardrobe and a hutch with a Fenton blue satin glass collection. The bathroom has a heated floor of stone and a stand alone bathtub and high ceilings with fair ventilation. The linens and towels were good smelling with the designer amenities and a generous mini bar. An eclectic soundtrack plays all day and evenings at Sacred House and I also listened to my own music on the Bluetooth enabled speaker in the room. The wifi is strong all over the property. The message is to relax and let your creative mind take over. The dining room has moved into the old salon and it is a pleasure to take the fresh breakfast in each morning with a kind staff. For dinner it is a pleasure to enjoy distinct Ottoman and Armenian meals and home made desserts like a Purple Sultan. Delicious. There is no room service at Sacred House. The meal Staff and the Chef are all exceptional people.

The Dreaming Suite room door opens directly on to the walkway guests use to go to dine and sit at small tables and smoke so there is not a feeling of privacy in this “Suite”. The two glass French windows that open to the walkway on either side of the room door are old and large so they are neither soundproof nor can they be opened without noise and losing privacy. The AC is a wall unit that is weak and with the sun beating into the room most of the day, the room is lacking ventilation and feels musty. Instagrammers and “Influencers” are everywhere with the distinct decor of Sacred House and so that is a double edged sword for this property. These people do not respect the experience of the other guests and this is how it is all over the world - but because Sacred House is a uniquely designed but smaller property here is a woman in a vomitous pink monstrosity of a rented dress blocking the stairs with a Team of four people doing a “photo shoot” for VANITY - to the exclusion or care of others paying $400 a night for their peace. On one hand don’t we want the exposure for our property and on the other isn’t the whole theme of Sacred House that of the perils of the circles of Hell that a life in AVARICE, GLUTTONY and EGO provide!? It’s tragic and hilarious at the same time. Perhaps this type of guest traffic and clientele - Influencers who are desensitized to other humans and who are in their own self obsession, blind to the unique history of the region, it’s natural beauty, and to the introspective themes of the decor of Sacred House, have caused the front desk day staff to be dismissive, jaded, and disinterested in hospitality towards its patrons? Hospitality is not an easy job often seeing people at their worst in travel; over tired or stressed. But to pay so much for atmosphere I expect it and I expect the property to manage and protect the atmosphere and with a post covid economic strain and a bunch of self centered Instagrammers on site this is not happening.

Exquisite place. Once in a lifetime experience.

The hotel (converted green mansion) is amazing, every room is very well decorated and pleasant. Also provides really tasty breakfast(free with our room) and the in-hotel restaurant offers good dinner dishes too. The hotel is at a great location (walkable to Urgup downtown), and the hotel staff were all super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend if you are visiting in Cappadocia. Very unique experience!

The inconveniency cauze by the preparations for a weekend event during our stay

The hotel has 21 rooms and each one is unique. Very well designed and decorated. Loved the bar, so beautiful. Staff very friendly and good at their job. Breakfast was laid out in a very pretty manner. Very clean property !
