We were pleasantly surprised at how organized and friendly the hotel was towards foreigners in the off season. The front desk and porters were incredibly kind, and helped us with our luggage and parking. The hotel also can reserve tickets for the museum and Whirling Dervish shows in the evening as well. The room was absolutely perfect for what we needed - hot shower, comfortable beds in a safe and quiet environment. Breakfast was EXCELLENT. They had a full spread of Turkish breakfast items, dates, fruits, and cheeses. Located on the top floor with a nice view overlooking Selimye Mosque. As for parking, there is a small loading zone just out front of the hotel for temporary parking, and you can valet your car for free. The hotel has their own private parking lot behind the hotel. There is also a pay parking lot next to the hotel, but this is NOT the hotel parking! The neighborhood is safe and very conveniently located to the Mevlana Dervish Museum, Selimye Mosque and Azizye Mosque. Aladdin Hill Park & Mosque are a short 10 minute walk away, and there is a massive Bazaar between there and the hotel. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops nearby as well. Truly ideal spot to stay! We plan to visit Konya again in the future, and we will be definitely be returning to the Hotel Rumi next time! Thank you for your kindness!

Everything was perfect. Above and Beyond

Our family of 4 stayed here for 2 weeks and everything was amazing. The staff was so kind and generous. By the end of our stay, we felt like we were leaving family and friends. We had 2 rooms, which gave us enough space. Breakfast had a good variety of options and hotel is very clean. However, what really made the difference was the people. I wish I could remember all of their names! Ramazan greeted and played with our 5 year old son every time he saw him. Ahmed took great care of making sure we were comfortable and treated us like family. And, of course, the location is perfect with a view of Mevlana from breakfast and one of our rooms. Cannot say enough good things - just stay here!

Location was good, as it was on the outskirts of Konya. Well within walking distance of the main sights. The Mevlana complex is across the road, and other museums around Alaadin Hill about 25 minutes walk. Lovely coffee shops and restaurants nearby, too, plus bazaars with lots of different shops. The staff are great, really friendly and helpful. Thank you to Ahmed for driving us around for the day to Çatalhöyük, Killistra and Sille. It was a long day driving, but he was a cheerful companion throughout. The breakfast is varied, with hot and cold dishes and lots of choice. Very pleased we chose the Rumi Hotel.

Everything was great!

We liked everything. The location was perfect. The hotel was just a few minutes walking from Mevlana Musezi and the Selimiye Camii. The parking place reserved for our car was just near the main entrance, which was a real blessing. We just parked the car and visited Konya on foot. All the main places of interest were at a walking distance. The staff were very friendly and very communicative. They helped us by giving useful information. It was really a perfect stay in Konya and at the Rumi Hotel. Thank you.

The hotel is very convenient to most of the major sites in Konya. The breakfast buffet on the roof has a nice view and was good. The room had a good deal of space for such a cramped urban area.

The parking situation around the hotel is very difficult at best. There is also heavy traffic running through the area around the hotel and it is difficult to get around from there.

The breakfast here is a feast. The usual breakfast foods of cereal eggs and toast and juice accompanied by a riot of fresh fruits and vegetables along with Turkish delights such as tahini and molasses, Konya cheese ( think Roquefort) simit (Turkish round bread with sesame seeds) ,a variety of olives and cooked foods. The hardest part was deciding what to eat. The magical setting of the restaurant is what places it in prime position. While you enjoy your meal you have a rooftop view of Rumi's shrine and mosque as well as that of Sultan Selim Ii. The staff are amazing with a special shout out to Ahmet who will do everything possible to make your stay as comfortable as possible. If you are in Konya to visit the burial place of Rumi, this is the best location because it is a 3 minute walk away.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Rumi. This is a must-stay property in Konya and bang for the buck. The hotel is 2 minutes walking from all the major landmarks with many restaurants and shops for souvenir shopping around the hotel. We were upgraded to a suite and the room was gorgeous with the views of Mevlana Museum and Sultan Selim Mosque. The breakfast was quite good with, again, the views of the charming Konya monuments. The staff are very courteous and one of the biggest pluses is the free parking behind the hotel.

Everything was amazing and no compliants

This hotel is in the middle of the old city near many of the historical sites. Huge traditional markets to explore with traditional spaces and new merging together seamlessly. Lots of choice, easy access into and out of the area with trams, buses and taxis. The hotel is painted light blue and easy to spot on the horizon. Can get busy in the area. Breakfast provided with our booking was exceptional, lots of choice, fresh and healthy. Very Turkish cuisine with cheeses, olives, vegetables etc, plus pastries, breads and lots to put on them. We booked a larger room and it was well worth the price with a lounge, bedroom etc. We will be staying here again. There is an amazing restaurant upstairs straight across from the hotel entrance above a gift shop. Best restaurant in Turkiye, which we visit every time we stay in Konya. An added bonus for staying in this property.

Loved this property

The staff was amazingly helpful and kind. Room was small but comfortable and well maintained (maybe except the shower area in the bathroom, which could get some renovation). The location was perfect: right next to the most important attractions of the city.

Breakfast was terrible. The buffet choice was impressive at the first glance, but most of the products turned out to be not fresh.

We love the location, the room that we got (we were lucky that we’ve got upgraded to a suite room) and the friendly staff! It’s a pity we only stayed for a night, wish we had booked for another night though. We highly recommend this hotel as it is centrally located to good eateries, the city centre and of course to Mevlana Rumi mausoleum!

There’s nothing that we don’t like 🤗
