Pigeon Hotel Cappadocia

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.

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

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.

That we coudn't stay longer!

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.

Everything but mostly Eser & Ibrahim and their care and kindness

Bit of climbing but not a problem for much of us

The location was amazing. We able to see the balloons right by our room. The hotel is close to town and several major sights. The breakfasts were the best on our trip. Eser’s homemade jams were incredible.

Nothing

Breakfast was the best we had in Turkey - everything made fresh by the owners! They even included our small children in cooking the cakes and invited them into the kitchen for milk and snacks. staying here was the highlight of our trip. The view, the layout of the room, the small hot tub in the room, the small details, the view, the location, all was top notch!

Nothing!

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.
