Where is Doors of Cappadocia?
The hotel is at Orta Mahalle, Mızrak Sokak No:11 in Göreme. Booking.com currently places Göreme Bus Terminal about 500 metres away and Göreme Open Air Museum about 700 metres from the property.
The location currently scores an excellent 9.6/10 on Booking.com.
How many rooms does Doors of Cappadocia have?
There is a current discrepancy worth knowing about. The hotel's older overview text still says 18 rock-carved rooms, but its room index actually lists 20 numbered rooms.
The live inventory breaks down into 5 Deluxe Rooms, 8 Junior Suites, 5 King Suites and 2 Queen Suites. For current planning, the live room index is the more useful source.
Deluxe Rooms
The current room index lists Deluxe Rooms 101, 103, 109, 116 and 118.
Official room details include underfloor heating, minibar, tea and coffee facilities, bathrobes, slippers and shower bathrooms. At least one Deluxe Room is also listed with a fireplace.
Junior Suites
The hotel currently lists eight Junior Suites: 102, 104, 108, 113, 114, 115, 117 and 119.
This is the largest room group in the current inventory, so it may offer the best chance of availability when the hotel is busy.
King Suites
The current live index lists five King Suites: 105, 106, 107, 111 and 112.
The official King Suite pages say these rooms can have a shower and/or bathtub, while some King Suites include a fireplace and some include a jacuzzi.
That wording matters: do not assume every King Suite has both features.
Queen Suites
The current room index lists two Queen Suites, Rooms 110 and 120.
Room 120's official page specifically lists a hammam basin in the shower and a jacuzzi with a view, making it one of the property's more distinctive premium-room options.
Outdoor swimming pool
Booking.com lists an outdoor swimming pool among the hotel's main facilities.
This makes Doors of Cappadocia especially relevant during warmer months, when many smaller Göreme cave hotels offer only terraces or hot tubs rather than a swimming pool.
Sunrise and sunset terraces
Booking.com says the hotel's shared terraces offer both sunrise and sunset views.
The terraces are particularly attractive on balloon mornings, although exact balloon visibility depends on wind direction and official flight approval.
Breakfast
Booking.com lists continental, halal and buffet breakfast and highlights traditional Turkish items such as gözleme and menemen.
Current guest feedback labels the breakfast very positively.
Restaurant and snack bar
Booking.com says the hotel's à la carte restaurant serves traditional Turkish dishes, kebab specialties and local wines.
There is also a snack bar for lighter food and drinks.
Family-run atmosphere
Both the hotel itself and Booking.com describe Doors of Cappadocia as family run.
The official overview strongly emphasizes a home-like environment and the combination of historic rock architecture with modern comforts.
Underfloor heating
The room pages list underfloor heating, which is an important comfort feature for winter cave-hotel stays.
Airport transfers
Booking.com lists an airport shuttle at extra cost. The hotel is around 40 km from Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport and about 80 km from Kayseri Erkilet Airport according to the current property description.
Bus-station pickup
Booking.com says Göreme Bus Terminal is about 500 metres away and that the property offers free pickup from the bus terminal.
Activities
The hotel's hotel website promotes balloon tours, ATV tours, horseback riding, Cappadocia tours and Turkish Night experiences.

Who is Doors of Cappadocia best for?
It is a good fit for travellers who want a classic Göreme cave hotel but also want an outdoor swimming pool, especially for late-spring, summer or early-autumn stays.
Couples looking for a more premium experience should compare the exact King and Queen Suite descriptions for jacuzzi, fireplace and hammam-basin features.
Who may prefer another hotel?
If you want an indoor pool and full spa for winter, CARUS or Anatolian Houses are stronger comparisons.
If the highest possible current guest score is your priority, Zara, Arif and several other Göreme properties currently rate above 9.5.
Doors of Cappadocia vs CARUS vs Anatolian Houses
Doors of Cappadocia is the smaller outdoor-pool option. CARUS is larger and adds an indoor pool and cave spa. Anatolian Houses adds both indoor and outdoor pools plus hammam and sauna facilities. The best fit depends on season, room style and live price.

If you want a central Göreme cave hotel with an outdoor pool, panoramic terraces and premium suite options, Doors of Cappadocia fills a useful niche.
The most important booking step is checking the exact room. A Deluxe Room and Queen Suite 120 with hammam-basin and view jacuzzi are very different experiences.
