Don't think of a cave as rustic - Gamirasu Cave Hotel in Ayvali, Turkey is luxurious without being overdone. The property has taken an existing old cave complex and turned it into a hotel with over 30 rooms, a very good restaurant, outdoor decks and patios, a small swimming pool, and friendly staff that are ready to help as needed....

I didn't get to spend much time in the room but it was definitely not living like the Flintstones even though the room is a cave. The bathroom was huge but the hit water took some time to get as warmer than lukewarm. There's a nice sitting room as you enter the suite. The bed was comfy. It's a bit... More

We had a life time experience for our family of 4 from Atlanta, Georgia when we stayed for two nights at Garamisu hotel. From the hotel manager Hamidae and the receptionist Fathie they were all outstanding. Especial thanks and recognition to Osman who made our trip memorable. He went and above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy. Hamidae... More

Everything about this hotel is done right. The rooms, the ambience, the food, the setting and particularly the service are exceptional. We have stayed in many more expensive hotels and resorts, but the Gamirasu will stand out in our memories as truly exceptional. The staff (look for Osman) watch out for you and are respectful of your space. We were... More

I was supposed to stay at a different hotel actually but my tour company changed plans (huge thanks for that :-). I wasn't sure what to expect as I did not look up Gamirasu online prior to getting there. The 15 minute drive from Urgup seemed desolate after a long day but what a pleasant surprise it was upon arrival.... More

The entire staff of this very unique hotel is extremely friendly and courteous. Gamirasu's rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. It is located at a very quite and serene location. Please don't be discouraged by its distance from the nearest City. The hotel's restaurant has very hight quality food. We stayed 3 nights there and definitely will return again.
