Konya Dervish Hotel

Very lovely family-run small hotel in a traditional Ottoman house. Five-minute walk to the Mevlana complex and other sights in central Konya. The innkeeper speaks English and is very helpful; the room was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. There is parking on the property. Highly recommended.

Lovely family-run hotel in a beautiful and historic Ottoman era mansion. Muammer speaks decent English and was helpful with suggestions for local attractions. There is free, secure parking within the hotel grounds which is a bonus as the surrounding area is going thru a transition and is quite derelict. Our bed was very very firm, good for some but a little too much for me. Due to pandemic, restaurants are only offering take out and Muammer suggested a local place that delivered some delicious Turkish food. Breakfast was great, typical Turkish breakfast of cheeses, fruits and vegetables, hard boiled eggs, breads, tea and huge cups of Turkish coffee. The Dervish Hotel is decorated with beautiful Turkish carpets and nomadic kilim rugs which Muammer has sourced from his carpet store in a building adjacent to the hotel. There are thousands of rugs both new and antique, and Muammer knows the history of every single one. He has clients all over the world and can ship rugs through FedEx for a decent price...we bought a small kilim rug and cushion cover which would cost $20USD to ship to Canada. This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful Ottoman mansion that will be even better to visit once the surrounding area is re developed.

We liked everything about this place. The staff was exceptional--they took care of us like family. It is in a beautiful Ottoman house and is clean, quiet, and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
