The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was plain but comfortable. Great dining room with very good home cooking.

My husband and myself had a wonderful trip in Turkey during the month of May 2012. In Ihlara/Capadocia, we stayed at the very well run pension Akar. Despite its first appearance as a simple motel, it has large rooms simple but clean, and large bathrooms with plenty hot water, so enjoyable after a day of hiking. The restaurant is wonderful as it serves fresh food prepared on he spot: grilled poultry, trout and with a variety of vegetable, and Capadocia wine at very reasonable price. The host, who knows English, is very welcoming to share iocal information and accommodates tourists with transport to and from Selime , Ilhlara and Bellisirma the three points of access to the Ihlara Valey. We greatly recommend this pension; it is a very good value and service. If presented with choice, we would choose this pension over any of the three star hotels.
