Sultan Cave Suites Review: The Most Famous Rooftop in Cappadocia (2026)
The Rooftop Experience: Reality vs Instagram
Let’s be honest: You are booking this hotel for the rooftop. So, does it live up to the hype? Yes.
Sultan Cave Suites is located on Aydinli Hill, which means you are not just looking at the balloons; you are among them. The hotel staff sets up a “staging area” every morning with fresh fruit, Turkish tea, and traditional carpets specifically for photos.
The Cave Rooms
Unlike some “concrete” hotels that pretend to be caves, these are authentic rock-carved rooms. This means they are naturally cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Junior Suites: Cozy, authentic, usually with a nice seating area.
- King Suites: Huge rooms with private jacuzzis and fireplaces. Highly recommended for honeymooners.
Note: Since they are real caves, natural light can be limited in some rooms. If you need bright sunlight, ask for a room near the terrace.
Dining: Seten Anatolian Cuisine
Sultan Cave Suites is home to Seten, widely regarded as one of the best restaurants in Cappadocia. You don’t need to leave the hotel for dinner.
They serve authentic Anatolian dishes (like Testi Kebab) and have an impressive wine cellar featuring local Cappadocian wines.
👍 The Pros

Don’t Miss the Sunrise
