“Best hotel”

This hotel in Cappadocia was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it for families, couples, and anyone visiting the area. The management was excellent and very welcoming. Every day we enjoyed freshly cooked breakfast with a variety of options—it truly felt like home. The food was delicious, and the view from our room was simply fantastic. Honestly, I have nothing negative to say. I would definitely give this hotel 5 stars and we are already looking forward to coming back very soon! The owner Eser and her son were incredibly kind and helpful. They gave us great information and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I highly recommend booking activities like the balloon ride and horse riding directly through the hotel, as you get a high-quality and well-organized experience.

“Wonderful hotel for a perfect stay in Cappadocia”

I really recommend this hotel for a stay in Cappadocia/Uchisar. The location overlooking pigeon Valley is beautiful and it's just a short walk to the centre and Uchisar Castle. Each room is unique and lovingly furnished with lots of attention to detail. Eser, the owner, got in touch with us before our stay via What's App and answered all our questions and organised our hotel transfer. During our stay she helped us plan our excursions so that everything was very easy and stress-free. She was extremely hospitable and friendly. In addition she is a fantastic cook and served different dishes every day for breakfast and dinner. We hadn't really planned to eat in the hotel every night but after the first day, we just thought we couldn't get anything better anywhere else - and it was not expensive. All in all our stay was perfect and I would definitely stay in Pigeon Hotel again. Location, atmosphere, rooms and service were unbeatable.

“Truly exceptional, highly recommended!”

The Pigeon hotel is definitely exceptional! The location is amazing with a great view to the Pigeon Valley, the rooms are meticulously curated with different ornaments and beds are very comfortable. We booked the suit room which was quite roomy and comfortable. Our family and friends stayed in more standard rooms but all of us were very satisfied. All the rooms have great terraces which makes the stay very unforgettable. Eser hanim and her team is very helpful, sympathetic and also professional. The breakfasts were truly amazing and super delicious. We also had 2 night dinner at the hotel because I don't think one can find any better food around! I strongly recommend having at least once a dinner at the hotel. I am a Turkish, and I know the cuisine, this is not coming from a tourist :)

“I got much more than I paid for…You wont be disappointed if you book Pigeon Hotel in Uchisar”

This is a home away from home. The host, Eser, took very good care of everybody.. She upgraded my room for free. Breakfast was plentyfull, and as I couldnt eat it all, she suggested me to take the rest and have it for lunch..She even brougth an extra plate of delicious fruit to my room.. On the day of departure I got an extra 3 eggs to take with me…Before my arrival I had a lot additional questions and it was seldom more than a couple of hours before she had answered my questions. All the hotel including the rooms are lovely decorated with handmade textiles. This was my first stay in Turkey at all, and I cant imagine anywhere where I could have felt better. And not to forget, Eser speaks very good English, which makes everythung so much easier

Nice view. Very impressive structure along with good capacity for 4 people. Owner family is very kind and supportive.

The breakfast was delicious, a generous spread of Turkish and Western food. The host Eser and her son were so kind and helpful with everything we needed, which made our stay special. The first night we arrived lateish, and we had ordered dinner at the hotel, which we ate on the balcony overlooking the night-lit valley (see photo). Perfect arrival. Uchisar is a great location to see the balloons in the early morning. Magical.

“Fairytale landscape and Turkish hospitality”

The location overlooking pigeon valley was amazing. The warm welcome, the home cooked food, the unique and comfortable cave bedroom, and the proximity to other restaurants. The host and her charming son helped organise transfers and trips and even gave us a lift to Goreme. Not often you come across hospitality like this. Several single travellers obviously felt especially welcome.

“Eser and Ibrahim are the perfect hosts!”

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!

“Highly recommend”

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.

“Unique and beautiful hotel. Really special.”

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.

“The kindest hosts offering a location of timeless charm and the best food in Turkey!”

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.

“Great rooms, amazing breakfast and a pleasant stay with extraordinary people and unique hospitality! A clear 10 out of 1”

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!

“Great place to stay during your trip to Cappadocia”

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.

“A Truly Memorable Stay at Pigeon Hotel”

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 was the best 4 days of our trip with the most amazing food and if you are vegetarian you also have lots of options.”

Eser and Ibby were amazing hosts. Eser took care of all our bookings from airport shuttle to all our tour bookings. Eser was easy to communicate with. Eser is the best cook in Cappadocia the breakfasts and dinners were AMAZING.

“The best food in Cappadocia and a unique cave stay with a magical atmosphere!”

Amazing food, beautiful cave rooms with a great view, and incredibly helpful owners.

“All we need ,warm assurance in out trips . It was all here in abundance.”

The warmth of homely feeling and care .

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.

“Lovely family-run hotel”
