Uchisar Stone House is a small guesthouse in the lower part of Uçhisar, the village below the great rock castle, and it is one of the lowest-priced places to stay in the area. It is built of stone rather than carved from rock, with a rooftop terrace and a garden, and the page lists it as a one-minute walk from the Göreme National Park and a seven-minute walk from Pigeon Valley, which makes it a handy base for walkers. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, room service, housekeeping, a front desk that is staffed around the clock, luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning, barbecue grills and free parking. Rooms include a standard double with garden view, a standard room with a queen bed, a deluxe ensuite room, a superior room and a comfort room with city view, and they sleep two or three. Breakfast is not stated for the property, so confirm what is offered, and pets are not allowed. Check-in is from half past twelve and check-out is at noon. An airport shuttle is available on request for a fee. Guest reviews are mixed: many praise cleanliness, staff and facilities, while a few are critical of room condition and cleanliness, so read recent reviews and set your expectations for a simple guesthouse.
Location
Lower Uçhisar is a quiet area on the slopes below the castle, and the walk to the start of Pigeon Valley is short, which is a good start to the popular trail down to Göreme. Restaurants and the castle are within a walk of the village centre, though some streets are steep. Göreme and the balloon fields are a short drive, so most guests arrange transfers or taxis for sightseeing. Check the walking route to your door if you are arriving with heavy luggage.
Rooms and who it suits
The rooms are simple and sleep two or three, so the hotel suits budget travellers, solo visitors and walkers who plan to spend most of the day outside. It is not a good fit for travellers seeking cave-room atmosphere, hotel services or a pool. The mixed reviews suggest that standards can vary, so check recent feedback and ask the property about any concerns, such as cleanliness or heating, before you book.
Good to know
Confirm whether breakfast is available and what it costs, since it is not stated. Late check-in may be possible, but tell the property your arrival time. The rooftop terrace is a pleasant spot for a drink and a view of the castle, and barbecue grills are available. Free cancellation terms vary, so read the policy for your rate. For a more characterful stay in Uçhisar, a cave hotel may be a better choice, but for a low price and a walk to the valley, this guesthouse does the job.
