Arrived at midnight after a long journey to find a thoughtful snack waiting. They went above and beyond – helping with excursions, showing me hidden local spots, and introducing me to Cappadocia’s warm community. Eser’s cooking is divine (the best Turkish food I’ve had!), breakfast was beautiful, and the rooms were spotless and comfortable. An unforgettable stay – I’ll be back!

Air-conditioning unit was very loud but a fan was also provided in the room so not a big issue for us.

A very warm welcome from the owners. Beautiful rooms, great homemade breakfast and comfortable terrace to enjoy the sunrise and sunset over the valley. We also had homemade dinner in the hotel one night which was good quality and very tasty.

We liked everything.

A truly beautiful and unique hotel, in the best location. Watch balloons rise at sunrise over Cappadocia from your balcony. The owners and staff are the wonderfully friendly and helpful, we get so at home. The breakfast is probably the best we have had at any hotel, without exaggeration. Everything is homemade, including all the pastored and jams and preserves. We wish we could have stayed longer.

That we coudn't stay longer!

If paradise had an address, it would surely be Pigeon Hotel Uchisar. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a warmth so genuine it felt like coming home. Eser and Ibrahim, the soul of this magical retreat, exemplify true Turkish hospitality radiating generosity, grace, and an instinctive knack for making every guest feel like family. Eser’s home-cooked meals deserve their own Michelin star - each dish was a celebration of flavor and tradition, served with love and abundant generosity. Ibrahim’s quiet attentiveness and deep knowledge of the region added texture to our experience, transforming every chat into a window into local lore. The staff, always smiling and kind, brought an air of joy to each interaction. Nothing was ever too much trouble (including tracing my lost glasses to a local taxi company and returning them to me) whether it was arranging excursions, making morning coffees just the way we liked them, or simply offering interest and conversation after a day exploring. And worth noting, they will happily arrange your tours once you arrive. Their recommendations were spot on from ballooning at sunrise to trail-riding at sunset. Better than going through a tour company.

Our stay at the Pigeon Hotel Cappadocia was extraordinary and a unique experience. A friend of mine and I stayed there after a bike packing adventure of one week to enjoy the last two days of our stay in Turkey. We also strongly recommend the local dinner in the hotel offered by the owner of the hotel. Amazing!

Family run little hotel in Uchisar, excellent breakfast, splendid view on Pigeon Valley. You can see some baloons then they are on the way down from your terrace. Tastefully decorated rooms, very cozy. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at Pigeon Hotel, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible hosts—Eser, Ebrahim, and their lovely parents. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed, like part of the family. Eser went above and beyond to help us plan a perfect itinerary for each day. Since we had a rental car, her advice made sure we made the most efficient use of our three days. Ebrahim also helped us book a local event that turned out to be a highlight of our trip. Her recommendations for shopping were spot on—we found beautiful jewelry and pottery that made perfect gifts. We stayed in the Mountain view family room, which offered breathtaking views both day and night. Waking up to such a serene landscape and starting the day with a traditional Turkish breakfast—including the best menemen we’ve ever had—was unforgettable. Eser is also a fantastic cook; every dinner was a new and delicious experience, showcasing different Turkish recipes. One of the unexpected highlights was how much Turkish phrases we picked up during our stay—more than we did throughout our entire road trip across Turkey! Pigeon Hotel is not just a place to stay—it’s a luxury homestay experience with heart, comfort, and stunning views. We’ll definitely be recommending it to our friends and family.

This hotel stay was a wonderful experience. The meals were all homemade by the hostess/proprietor Eser. The breakfasts were exceptional, and the optional dinners (paid extra) were very good. Very generous portions. Eser was a wealth of information for things to do, and she worked very hard to help us with anything we needed. The room was spacious, very comfortable, and very clean. We would recommend this place to anyone and would not hesitate to stay there again. Be aware, there is a very short but steep hill, with uneven cobblestones for part of it, to climb to and from the property (which is located below street level), so may be a challenge for some with mobility issues.

We understand in Kappadokya they still use coal to warm up water and environments. Unfortunately, on the fist night we didn't get much sleep as we did not realise the wind was blowing the smoke right into our window. The next morning we raised it to them and they immediately changed toom for us. Overall, the care this family has for their customers is one of a kind and I would gladly recomand it and if I happen to go back I will definitely stay with them for the entire stay.

9.5 out of 10 Everything was perfect! Family business and the whole family are really nice people, helpful and caring. The food is just amazing; breakfast was fantastic and really rich. They coocked dinner for us both days we stayed here and it was the best meals we've had for the whole week we were in Turkey. They also organise tours for you if you want and give all the info needed. On our last day we didn't know where we could buy some Baklava to take home with us and even though we were staying in Goreme in another hotel they were so kind to buy and bring some to us. This is the type of care for the guests that you rarely see.

Awesome views, cute rustic place, amazing owner and wow homemade cooking!!! I would guess almost impossible to beat anywhere. They organized our tours, got us a balloon ride when everyone else had given up. Thank you so much, friends

For those who value more amenities, there was no tv or air conditioning. We did not require those things so it didn’t bother us at all.

The location is superb. It is down a little cobbled alley by the main square with proximity to restaurants and shops but affording privacy. The view over Pigeon Valley is stunning. The breakfasts were fantastic and had variety each day. Uchisar Castle is only an 8 minute walk away. Beds were comfy and when I asked for a flatter pillow, it was immediately provided. Bathroom was great with a fantastic shower system. Spotlessly clean.

The short steep slope going to & from the hotel

Overall experience was great. Highly recommended. It is a family run accommodation and the entire family was really helpful and accommodating. Went to Cappadocia with no set itinerary and the hotel made all the necessary arrangements for tours, transfers etc. The location was 10-15 walk to Uchisar castle, 5-min walk to a convenience store & ATM. The meals were also great from breakfast to dinner. They were even the best meals I tasted when I was travelling in Turkey. Lastly, they gave me a free room upgrade during my stay.

This is the place to stay in cappadocia. We would definitely like to stay here again
