Location

Konya, Karatay

Şems-i Tebrizi Mahallesi, Sultan Veled Caddesi No:3, 42000 Karatay/Konya

Rail transit · 513 m

The nearest airport is Konya (KYA). The official site gives 19 km, other sources 12.7–15 km; expect about 15–30 minutes by car. The hotel advertises a 24/7 airport shuttle, but whether it is charged should be confirmed.

The hotel sits on Sultan Veled Street in Karatay's Şems-i Tebrizi quarter. The Shams Tabrizi Mosque and Tomb is about a 6-minute walk, the Bedesten bazaar roughly 0.6 km (7–11 minutes on foot), the Mevlana Museum 0.8–0.9 km, Karatay Madrasa around 0.9–1.2 km and Alaaddin Hill about 1–1.5 km. Konya railway station is roughly 8 minutes by car.

The stay

Editor's notes

Noise & sound insulation

Review summaries and KAYAK describe the rooms as soundproofed, and noise is not a recurring complaint. That said, the evidence is based on a limited number of reviews; light sleepers may still want to ask for a room away from the street, as the hotel is on a city-centre road.

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are included. Booking.com notes that children aged 13 and over are charged as adults, and that cots and extra beds are not included in the quoted price. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible for a fee. Whether the airport shuttle is free is unclear across sources, so ask when booking. Spa treatments are likely charged separately.

Pool, spa & fitness

There is no pool. The spa has a sauna, steam room and hot tub, and reviewers speak well of the massages. A small gym is available. Prices for spa treatments are not published in the sources.

Hilton Garden Inn Konya

Konya · Karatay · ★★★★

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.

Ramada Encore by Wyndham Konya Selçuklu

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.

Novotel Konya

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.
