Konya is an important commercial, touristic and pilgrimagecity, and it now has numerous quality hotels.
You should not have a problem finding a good room if you plan ahead and reserve your room in advance. The exception is in the first half of December during the Şeb-i Aruz commemoration of Mevlâna Jelaleddin Rumî, when many of Konya‘s hotels—especially the ones near the Mevlana Cultural Center—will be fully booked well in advance.

Hotel Selçuk
Completely renovated within the last few years, the Hotel Selçuk has the advantage of being very near the Alaettin Mosque, Great Karatay Medresesi and İnce Minare Medrese, yet a short block off of the main street, Mevlâna Caddesi, and thus less subject to traffic noise. More…
Paşapark Hotel
Located 600 meters (650 yards) north of the Şemsi Tebrizi Mosque & Tomb, and about 1 km (2/3 mile, 14-minute walk) north of the Mevlana Museum, the 3-star, 56-room Paşapark Hotel is slightly out of the center, but still relatively convenient, and comfortable. The hotel has 33 standard rooms, 16 family rooms, and 7 suites (of which 3 are corner suites and 2 are deluxe). More…
Bera Mevlana Hotel
On the main street (Mevlâna Caddesi) right in the center of Konya, the Bera is a good choice except for the possibility of traffic noise. Easy walking distance to both the Mevlana Museum to the east and the Alaettin Mosque to the west. More…

The most luxurious hotel in Konya—and indeed in the entire region—the 278-room Rixos provides all the five-star luxuries, comforts, services and style you’d expect, in a hilltop location 17 km (10.6 miles) northwest of the city center next to Selçuk University. More…
Using a Travel Agency
Actually, the easiest way to find a good hotel in Konya (and what I do) is to contact Argeus Tourism & Travel. They know all the good hotels, can negotiate good rates.
Indeed, they can also help with any other travel arrangements you may need in Konya, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Antalya, and in fact anywhere in Turkey. If you’re driving or traveling by bus, train and plane from Istanbul to Cappadocia, Konya, Antalya, Pamukkale and/or Ephesus, Argeus can set everything up for you.
