Balikcilar Hotel

Great Hotel! Central location, everything is within walkable distance. Easily accessible by tram if you're coming by bus from another city. My room overlooked Mevlana square and the mosque - beautiful view! Breakfast was great, with lots of options. The staff was very nice & helpful, I had a change of plans last minute and they were able to move my reservation to another week with no problems :) - stable wifi connection - lots of space in the lobby & nice coffee shop

The hotel is very well situated in the main square very close to Mevlana Rumi museum and very close to the new bazaar. The hotel staff was very helpful explaining what we have to visit around and recommended a Dervish show at the city's cultural center. Rooms are clean but small. Wifi is good.

The included breakfast was not so diversified like in other hotels. Also the parking in front of the hotel is very small and they move the cars to fit more (I understand this) but in the morning couldn't get in the car because they did not let any space between the cars. Hardly, a very thin guy from reception could enter the car to move it....

The rooms were great, very clean and comfy. Bathroom was also clean and modern. Pretty good 4-start quality. All amenities were provided (shampoo, slippers, etc.). They also had some free pamphlets on Sufism and the life of Rumi, etc. Oh and the breakfast spread was huge and very tasty. The location is excellent, right next to the Mevlana Museum and within 15m walk of all the other main attractions. And all the taxi drivers knew the hotel by name so it was very easy to get a ride there.

The pillows were a bit too hard, and ventilation in the bathroom could have been better, but overall pretty good.

Wonderful location in the center helps tourists to plan their time. the hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The receptionist helped me hire a taxi for a trip to the Çatalhuyuk Archaeological Museum which is located out of Konya.

Nothing bothered me. everything was great

Location was solid, right across the street from Mevlana Museum. Shopping was close by. There is a lot of construction going on around hotel due to a new mall. Lighting in the room was quite poor. Bathroom was tight but decent. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. Parking was free through hotel staff. Breakfast was decent. A bunch of restaurants around the hotel.

Old hotel in a very good location. Walking distance to most places of interest. We learnt about the Sufi Dervish twirling dance at the cultural center, a 15 minutes walk away from the hotel, and at only 50 TL for the one hour show. We were really happy to catch the show on every Saturday at 9pm.

The toilet is a little dark though it is not a big problem.

- location is perfect, it is right in front of the Mevlana museum - you leave the car key at the reception and they take care of the parking - I was lucky to get a non smoking room with a beautiful view of the mosque

- the bathroom is tiny and has no radiator to dry the clothes. Fixed shower is also very inconvenient - the mattress of the single bed is not great, you can feel the spirals

Mr. Abdullah, the hotel manager, set for us an example of professionalism in the hospitality field: always ready to help, smiling and kind - speaking a very polished English language; the lobby designed as a corner of the old town - interesting and unique concept (nothing kitschy); the vicinity of all places one would like to visit in Konya; good quality mattresses and pillows; exceptional cleanliness.

The guys serving the cooked food at breakfast; room-maids chirping on corridors; front-desk staff showing only relative skills in English language.

The staff called up to our room as soon as we'd arrived to tell us about a free whirling dervish performance at a nearby venue that night. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very nice.

The Location was perfect. Right opposite the Mosque and Tomb of Metlava Rumi. The Breakfast was delicious. The staff was very friendly and on hand to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Close to the Shouk.

There was nothing not to like.
