Everything about this hotel was amazing! The breakfast was a large assortment of cheese, bread, olives and sweets. The owner went above and beyond to help me out and make suggestions on things to see in Konya. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had great water pressure and was very hot! The owner offered to bring me to the bus station which was so kind. When I travel I appreciate learning various aspects of the culture. It was interesting to discuss different international geopolitical events with the owner. After the hustle and bustle of Istanbul Konya was a much needed place to relax a bit. I would highly recommend staying here on your visit to Konya.

I don't usually write reviews but our experience at the Dervish Hotel was so good that I wanted to say thank you and recommend this hotel to others. The location is perfect for the historic centre, with restaurants, shops and historic sites all within a short walk. The hotel is a beautifully restored Ottoman house and the rooms are a good size, comfortable, and immaculately clean (including the bathroom which has a nice strong shower). Air conditioning works well but we were also able to sleep with the windows open and no air conditioning (in the height of summer) which is always a bonus. The breakfast includes a good range, including home made jams and fresh fruit and a variety of lovely fresh breads and we were offered freshly made omelettes each morning (I'm sure other cooked eggs could be requested). What makes this hotel really special is the family that own and run it. They are exceptionally helpful and go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Muammar gave us excellent tips about restaurants, things to do and transport around the city and was always happy - and able - to help with all our requests. This is very much a small family run hotel so the facilities are not as extensive as large international hotel but its has a lovely garden that you can sit in and the level of care is amazing. I'm sure every guest is made to feel as welcome as we were. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Konya!!! Thank you Muammar and family for a lovely stay!

Excellent on everything, but beds. A little too firm and would love an additional pillow. That is nitpicking as in the middle of Turkey where preferences for mattress firmness might differ! Owners work so hard to make you comfortable and enjoy the stay! Stay 2-3 nights and visit Neolithic site of Cataholyuk. The museum at site is world class. Wish we had stayed another day! Also visited largest wooden mosque in Beshehir, on owner’s advice wonderful suggestion!

Nothing

During our recent visit to Mevlana Türbesi, we had the pleasure of staying at The Konya Dervish Hotel. It was an unforgettable experience! The hotel’s proximity to historical sites, including Mavlana, made it an ideal choice. Upon arrival, we were greeted by lovely staff who kindly asked us to remove our shoes before entering the amazing old mansion. This attention to detail reflected the hotel’s commitment to cleanliness. Fresh slippers awaited us, or we could walk barefoot on hand-knitted kilims—a testament to the immaculate environment. The rooms were spotlessly clean and exceptionally comfortable. As discerning travelers, we appreciated the meticulous upkeep. Not a single water mark marred the shower head—an impressive feat! Undoubtedly, this is the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed. The friendly and helpful staff at Dervish Hotel made our stay truly memorable. From parking to check-in, their warm hospitality put us at ease. They provided a local map and took the time to recommend must-see places and dining options. The top-notch open buffet breakfast exceeded our expectations. Alongside a wide selection of nibbles, they even prepared omelettes to order—a delightful touch. The hotel itself is a masterpiece—a gorgeous building exuding old-world charm. The high-quality rooms and impeccable service perfectly complement the elegance. In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend The Konya Dervish Hotel. It’s not just about comfort; it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic Turkish culture and hospitality.

To say we loved the Konya Dervish hotel would be an understatement. It is a small, boutique hotel and honestly, we felt like we were with family. It is a beautiful, historical hotel filled with warmth, care and love. The rooms, the grounds, the people are all perfect! You can feel the passion and dedication of the owner and the staff from the moment you reserve a room to the time you bid your farewells. The breakfast is an incredible spread of fresh fruit, breads, veggies, cheeses. It was more than we could ever eat and delicious. The hotel is walking distance to the Mevlana museum. We had amazing conversations with Muammer, one of the owners and are so incredibly humbled and grateful for his hospitality and kindness. This hotel deserves an A++ and we cannot wait to return. Konya and the Konya Dervish Hotel stole our hearts.

It was perfect - nothing we did not like.

This vintage house is amazing, very beautiful, quiet, and spacious. The location is also excellent, within walking distance to all the sights, bazar, and restaurants around. The host Muammer is very kind, friendly, and patient. He has offered us great choices regarding local restaurants and fruit markets, and he also helped us with booking buses and other things. The people here in Konya are extremely nice and friendly, and the pace of life here is just as gentle. We have truly enjoyed our time here in Konya. And we will also highly recommend the Dervish Hotel to everyone!

This was one of the best stays I've had. A beautiful Ottomon style guest house with lush carpets everywhere and a fantastic Turkish style Breakfast with fresh coffee, fruits, nuts, cheeses and delicious breads and other local condiments. The host was exceptional with his help, hospitality, local tips, knowledge and care. They also organised local taxis and trips for us. Location is also great, few minutes walk from Rumi Museum and the whole old city. Thank you for sharing your culture and experiences so generously. Konya is a lovely city. I would love to come back and stay here again.

Nothing.

Breakfast was fresh and a good variety.

The only light was central in the ceiling and the switch was beside the door. A bedside light would be good. Although we had booked two separate rooms, unfortunately a mix up by the host meant that only one room in the main guest house was available. A second room was made available in the adjacent owner's house, but without the same facilities.

If you are looking for an authentic experience where you meet and truly get to connect with locals then this is the place for you. The owner Mehmet is what makes this place special. My dad and 6 year old son stayed here and felt like we were staying at a relatives home as Mehmet was so accommodating and helpful. Location is terrific, as you can reach the bazaar, restaurants, Dervish experience, Rumis tomb etc. All within walking distance. We travel a lot around the world and this is one of the best hotels I've stayed in with truly warm and welcoming hospitality. Highly recommend this place.

Everything was great.

What can I say, from the moment we arrived we were welcomed with easy access, lock up parking and freshly picked apples! This place feels like a family home but with all the benefits of a great hotel. Hospitality was second to none, lots of recommendations from the owner on the best places to eat, places that mainly locals go to, as well as all the best attractions. We felt so looked after. The owners are the most friendly and helpful people. The location is walking distance to all the main attractions. Breakfast was also amazing featuring loads of locally sourced and home made products and produce. We would highly recommend staying here for the best Konya experience!

No negatives!
