Göreme ye gelirseniz gönül rahatlığıyla konaklayabileceğiniz yer. Çalışanları son derece saygılı ve yardımseverler. 5 gece kaldım hiçbir sorunla karşılaşmadım. Otelin konumu merkezden 300-400 metre uzaklıkta sabahları terasa çıkarak balonları seyredebilirsiniz. Göreme de memnun kaldığım tek işletme Royal Stone Houses eğer bir daha gelirsem yine kendilerinde kalırım.
