hotel recommendations for Istanbul and Cappadocia
Hi.. well. .. i'm finally going to Turkey! plans 2 years ago were halted when i hurt my back at the last minute. so i'm researching again. we have our tickets (traveling with a friend since hubby wont travel) for last 2 weeks in September. SO excited !!
We have been looking at either Hanedan or TulipGuest House in Istanbul... any thoughts on these? or others? I think i like the area they are in.
Also, i think after researching, we'd like to stay in Goreme for a few nights. Tried to get a small room at Kelebek but its not available.. there is one we might get, but wanted to see if you'all have any recommendations that may be .. well.. more within our budget. this is a very low budget. the room we wanted was 50Euro but the one that is available is 95Euro. any thoughts would be very appreciated!

Pick your poison. http://www.venere.com/turkey/istanbul/
Sort by price, location, etc.... Always read the reviews from people who have stayed there.

I stayed in Hanedan in 2010. It was a good hotel but not really a "boutique" experience - clean enough, but a rather small room facing an alley and the bath smelled - probably from the old plumbing - but everything worked. Was certainly well situated for the sites.
In Cappadocia we stayed at Nirvana Cave hotel at a very good rate - I believe it was 50 euros if I'm remembering right. It was a cave room and the people there are very nice. I talked to 2 other people who spent a lot more than us and they were not happy with their rooms -- a cave is a cave -- Nirvana gave us that, at a good rat,e with a really good breakfast and a free glass of local wine as a welcome.
We used Butterfly Balloons for our hot air balloon ride and I also highly recommend them.

Well, we haven't been yet -- leave in two days! -- so I suppose I have no business replying. But, we are staying in the Aydinli Cave House Hotel (http://www.thecavehotel.com/cavehotel/) in Goreme. It's sometimes billed as a B&B. It has great reviews and seems to be just what we're looking for.
Some of the smaller rooms are within your budget, calla (or, almost) and we got a discount for paying cash.
I'll have first-hand information in a couple of weeks!

We stayed in the Local Cave Hotel in 2010:

It might be too late to use the pool but it was still a very nice place. More like 70 Euros I think.
