Goreme, Turkey, June 19-21

Kose Pension, Room 7, 18

Most of the pensions in Goreme charge a standard 50 YTL, sometimes including breakfast. Kose Pension charges 30 per person, which we unfortunately misread as 30 per room. So after 2 nights here we panicked and changed to a cheaper room with shared bathroom. So overall, not great value compared to some of the others in Goreme, although Dawn Kose is extremely helpful and has thought of every service the independent traveller needs. The pool is the perfect antidote to hot afternoons, there's a bookswap scheme and of course, there's wireless. Another thing we really liked: Breakfasts are fairly priced, as are snacks, dinners and alcohol. The first picture is of the en-suite room, the second of the rooftop hut.
Bathroom: Private (room 7), shared (room 18)
View: Streetscape (room 7), fairy chimneys (rooftop room 18)
Cost: 60 YTL (room 7), 40 YTL (room 18)
Recommended: Yes, particularly the cheaper rooftop room with shared bathroom.
