I recently stayed at Aris Hotel in Cappadocia. The location is excellent, right in the center, and the room itself looked beautiful and spacious. The balcony has a nice view of the hot air balloons in the morning, which could be wonderful. Breakfast was fine, served at the table, simple but okay. The employees were excellent—very kind and helpful throughout my stay.
Unfortunately, I cannot give 5 stars because of two serious issues:
1. The entire room smelled strongly of drainage-sewage coming from the bathroom. The bathroom has a nice bathtub and a shower combined with the toilet, but the smell spread into the whole room.
2. The balcony, although with a beautiful view, smelled strongly of cat urine. The cushions, the floor, and everything around had the smell, which made it impossible to enjoy sitting outside.
The hotel may have a good location and design, and the staff was great, but the constant sewage smell in the room and the cat urine on the balcony completely ruined the experience.
