Argos in Cappadocia

I have stayed in Cappadocia twice. Previously, I stayed at the Museum Hotel, but I can say that Argos in Cappadocia is better. The food is more delicious and the hotel offers more facilities. The staff were very good. The view from the hotel is magnificent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. On my next visit to Cappadocia, I will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely fabulous hotel! The rooms are unique and luxurious. The restaurants are delicious and made me want to keep coming back. All the food is grown in the hotel’s garden or sourced locally. All of the staff was attentive and warm. Highly recommend!!!

Argos is like a slice of heaven. The accommodations are extremely comfortable (and private, so sleeping was peaceful), the views spectacular, the service top-notch, and the grounds are exquisite-- the architectural and gardening details are superb. The Turkish breakfast is plentiful and delicious! And the pool offered a refreshing and relaxing respite from our travels. I love the tradition that the staff carries out when guests are leaving: a splash of water from an urn to suggest "safe travels" or "may your travels flow like water." My traveling partner and I did not receive this gesture upon leaving (which is why I gave the service a four instead of a five). I want to believe this was an oversight, but couldn't help thinking if this was personal. Was I not a big enough tipper? Or was this a micro-aggression because my traveling partner and I are both male? When I return to Cappadoccia, I will certainly consider Argos-- and even though I have some disheartened feelings leaving the facility, I would recommend Argos to others.

We enjoyed our stay. We had 5 rooms, all different and very nice. The pool area is small, but again very nice. The staff in the hotel were always very pleasant, but I thought the service could be improved in some areas. Specifically: i) the staff at breakfast did not write down orders and forgot items on several occasions, which was frustrating. ii) I found the concierge desk to be less helpful than it might have been. I asked if they could arrange a private balloon flight, and they initially came back with a quote of €7000, about 2x the going rate (which they could not possibly ignore!!). On a couple of occasions, I requested a taxi and they pushed hard for me to use their Sprinter van (of course, more expensive). Ultimately, it meant that I had to arrange things myself because I did not trust that they would not fleece me. Two more small negatives: food/drinks in the hotel are of high quality, but you do pay a decent premium (e.g. house win is lovely, but at GPB 14 a glass - or burger + fries over GBP 20 - it was considerably more expensive than central London, which feels wrong!). Second, we found the restaurants nearby the hotel to be of low-quality and lacking in atmosphere. Our experience was that there were nicer options a short taxi ride away, in Goreme. Overall, though, with those caveats, a very nice hotel. Also, the balloon experience is top-notch.

Beautiful upscale hotel with amazing service, we can’t wait to come back. The spa, pool and property are gorgeous. We loved it
