Rumi Hotel

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!

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 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.

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.

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!
