The realistic view
A 228-room business and city hotel opened in 2010, right next to the Mevlana Cultural Centre and a 10–15 minute walk (about 1–1.2 km) from the Mevlana Museum. Parking and Wi-Fi are free and rooms are a generous 29 m², but there is no pool or spa, breakfast is usually charged extra, and parts of the interior feel dated.

Rail transit · 211 m
The nearest airport is Konya Airport (KYA), 18–22 km away depending on the source, about 20–28 minutes by car. The hotel has no airport shuttle, so plan on a taxi or rental car.
The hotel sits in Konya's Karatay district on Kışlaönü Street, just off Aslanlı Kışla Avenue. The Mevlana Cultural Centre, where the Sema ceremony is staged, is 300 m away (3 minutes on foot) and the Konyanuma Panorama Museum is next door, about 200 m. The Mevlana Museum is 1–1.2 km, a 10–15 minute walk; Aziziye Mosque and the old bazaar are about 1.6 km, roughly 18 minutes on foot. Konya railway station is 4 km away, 9–10 minutes by car, and there is a taxi rank in the hotel car park. Tripadvisor rates walkability at 58 out of 100: there are few restaurants right around the hotel, so expect a 10–15 minute walk to the bazaar area for dinner.
The stay
Breakfast is extra on most rates. Pets incur a non-refundable TRY 1,500 fee per stay (max 15 kg, medium size). Rollaway beds cost about TRY 800 per night. A credit card or cash deposit for incidentals is taken at check-in. Meeting rooms and laundry are chargeable, and one reviewer found the price of tea in the lobby high. Parking and Wi-Fi are free.
There is no pool, spa, sauna or hammam. The only facility is a free 24-hour fitness centre, which one Booking.com reviewer described as very limited. Some Turkish booking sites list a spa and Turkish bath, but the official Hilton page does not, and guest reviews confirm their absence.

Alternatives
Konya · Karatay · ★★★
A small city-centre hotel (formerly Paşapark Karatay) roughly 800–900 m from the Mevlana Museum, with breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking included and a compact spa but no pool. Reviewers mostly praise the staff, cleanliness and the walkable location.
Konya · Selcuklu · ★★★
A midscale city hotel on Demiryolu Caddesi in Selçuklu, operating in the former Paşapark Selçuklu Hotel building, with free parking, breakfast-inclusive rates and a small spa. Best suited to business trips and short city stays; the Mevlana Museum is a short taxi ride rather than a walk away.
Konya · Selcuklu · ★★★★★
A 16-storey, 178-room five-star opened in 2015 on the ring road in Selçuklu, 5 km from the Mevlana Museum, 3 km from the railway station and 20 km from the airport. A rooftop restaurant-bar, seasonal outdoor pool, hammam and free parking make it Konya's main chain option; central heating with no in-room control in winter, too few lifts and worn furnishings are frequent complaints.
