Updated September 2026

Yunak Evleri is one of Urgup's best-known cave hotels. It combines ten historic cave houses dating back centuries with a 19th-century Greek mansion, creating a much larger property than many boutique cave hotels in Cappadocia. The current official website lists 134 rooms, six main room categories, a spa, restaurant and special suites with jacuzzis, hammams and private pools.

Where is Yunak Evleri?

Yunak Evleri is in Urgup, one of Cappadocia's main towns. The hotel lists Goreme at roughly 10–15 minutes by car, Ortahisar around 10 minutes, Uchisar around 15–20 minutes and Avanos around 15–20 minutes.

The hotel gives an approximate transfer time of about 45 minutes from Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport and around one hour from Kayseri Airport.

Why Urgup? Urgup feels more like a working town than a tourism village. It can suit travellers who want restaurants, shops and local life while still being close to the main Cappadocia attractions by car or tour transfer.

A much larger cave hotel than it first appears

The current official Yunak website describes ten cave houses with 134 rooms plus a 19th-century Greek mansion. That makes it a very different property from small 10- to 20-room cave hotels.

The scale has advantages: more room categories, more facilities and a wider range of prices. But it also means room location matters. Some rooms may be farther from the restaurant, pools or reception than others.

What are the rooms like?

The official room page currently lists six headline categories: Classic Room, Deluxe Room, Junior Suite, King Suite, Terrace Suite and Interior Pool Suite.

Room sizes and features can vary considerably. A Deluxe Room is currently listed at 45 m² for up to three guests, while the Interior Pool Suite is listed at 130 m² for up to four guests.

Cave room light and windows

Yunak's FAQ says most cave rooms have windows or openings facing courtyards, terraces or natural surroundings, but window size varies because of the original cave structure.

If daylight is important to you, check the exact room photographs before booking. A deep cave room can feel atmospheric, but not everyone enjoys a darker room.

Jacuzzi, hammam and terrace rooms

Different categories add different features. Yunak currently says Junior Suites and King Suites include private jacuzzis, while Terrace Suites combine a private terrace with hammam and jacuzzi features.

There are also special cave rooms such as the Hammam Cave, which currently lists a fireplace, hammam and jacuzzi.

The Interior Pool Suite

The Interior Pool Suite is one of Yunak Evleri's most unusual room options. The hotel's current room page lists it at 130 m² with one bedroom, sitting area and a private heated indoor pool.

There is an important seasonal detail: the hotel currently says this private pool is heated from November through May and is not in operation during the remaining months.

Outdoor pools and spa

Yunak Evleri's current official booking page lists two outdoor swimming pools with views of the rock formations plus an indoor spa centre. Booking.com currently marks the outdoor pool as temporarily closed, so pool availability should be checked for your exact dates.

Booking.com also lists spa and wellness facilities, sauna and massage services among the property's current amenities.

Caverna Restaurant

Caverna Restaurant is the hotel's on-site dining venue. Yunak's current website describes a combination of Cappadocian dishes such as pottery kebab plus international choices, with indoor and outdoor seating and terraces overlooking the landscape.

The hotel's FAQ also says breakfast is included and features fresh local products and regional flavours.

What do guests say?

Booking.com shows Yunak Evleri Cappadocia at 9.1/10 from 304 reviews. Comfort is 9.2, location 9.1, cleanliness 9.1, facilities 9.0 and value for money 8.7.

One figure stands out for the wrong reason: Booking.com currently displays a much lower Wi-Fi category score than the other hotel scores. Yunak's own FAQ says complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and guest rooms, but travellers who depend heavily on fast internet may want to check recent guest comments before booking.

Who is Yunak Evleri best for?

Yunak Evleri is a strong fit for travellers who want an established cave hotel in Urgup with more facilities and room choice than a small boutique property.

It can work for couples, families and travellers staying several nights. The larger room inventory also gives you more options to match a particular budget or feature such as terrace, jacuzzi, hammam or private pool.

Who may prefer another hotel?

If you want a tiny, very personal boutique hotel, Yunak's scale may feel too large. If you want to walk through central Goreme every evening, a Goreme hotel will be more convenient.

Travellers who care strongly about internet performance should also check the most recent guest reviews because Booking.com's current Wi-Fi score is noticeably lower than the hotel's other categories.

Yunak Evleri vs Kayakapi Premium Caves

Both are major Urgup cave hotels. Kayakapi feels more like a luxury resort spread across a restored historic hillside and has a strong spa and fine-dining identity. Yunak Evleri offers a much larger room inventory, old cave houses, a Greek mansion and a wide range of classic cave-room styles.

Is Yunak Evleri worth considering?

Yes, particularly if you want to stay in Urgup and prefer a historic cave property with a broad selection of room types and facilities.

The most important step is to choose the exact room carefully. A Classic Room, Hammam Cave, Terrace Suite and Interior Pool Suite offer very different experiences, so do not choose only by the hotel name.
