What a cozy hotel! It just "feels good" when you walk into the place. It's near many of the places you'd want to go (5 min walk) and they will arrange travel for you to the places you're NOT close to. Helpful and friendly staff who will try to accommodate whatever request you may have. Place feels like it is run by family members (it isn't) but everyone seems to get a long so well that you wonder.

After being in Turkey for several days, I really got a hankering for a traditional Western breakfast: eggs, bacon, toast ... that wasn't available but the breakfast items they did serve -- typical Turkish breakfast -- were great and there was a great variety of local items. Plus, they had Nutella and enough Nutella pretty much overcomes any complaint I might have about breakfast items.

Araf hotel has a lot of character. It’s the perfect place for solo travelers and couples with an immersion in the arts and culture of Konya. It’s just 2 minutes away from Mevlana Muzësi and the main road with lots of local restaurants, shops and banks. Breakfast is typically Turkish and served at the table. Tasty treats but not a full continental breakfast if you’re looking for a full meal. We took a suite with a master bedroom and two bunk beds which are a little small for adults. Tea and coffee is also served in the salon at the reception area anytime. There are no kettles in the room. All in all it was a great place to stay and meet interesting people.

Bunk beds are too small for adults.

Araf Hotel in Konya exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The staff's warmth and friendliness made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was not only beautifully appointed but also reflected the rich cultural heritage of Turkey. Its prime location, close to the tourist area and the bustling bazaar, made exploring the city a breeze. The traditional Turkish breakfast served at the hotel was a culinary delight, offering a tantalizing array of flavours to start our day. Additionally, the artistic shop downstairs added an extra layer of charm and intrigue to our stay. Araf Hotel provided an exceptional experience, seamlessly blending comfort, hospitality, and culture. Highly recommended for a memorable stay in Konya.

While Araf Hotel in Konya offers many positives, such as friendly staff, beautiful rooms, and a great location, I must highlight a drawback regarding the additional bunker beds. As a third adult staying in this space, I found it less than ideal. The lack of a window made the area feel cramped, and the size was insufficient for comfortable accommodation. While it may be suitable for a family with children, I would not recommend it as a triple room option for three adults. This aspect of the accommodation detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay.

I really enjoyed my stay in Araf Hotel. Good location, nicely decorated common area, comfy bed, generous breakfast, and the best part is the hotel team. Sophia and Anil and others are amazing! They are so polite, sweet, friendly, resourceful and helpful. Sophia gave me recommendation about Konyan dishes and I tried them all and all was so good! She also checked some bus routes for me. There was a lightning issue in my room and she fixed it in no time. Anil was so nice and he ensured my stay was comfortable, he made a very good menengic coffee that I liked it so much. Thank you guys, you all are wonderful! I highly recommend this place for memorable stay in Konya.

Almost nothing, well there was a noticable dirt in the closet which pretry surprised me bc other part of the bathroom was sparkling clean.

This hotel seems like Rumi's poetry has come to life and the letters are whirling around in the ambience performing in a Sema. Check the photos and I am sure you will agree too. Secondly its a 1 min walk from the Mevlana museum and may be 5 to 10 mins to the Ipciski mosque, Shems Tabrez tomb. The staff is exceptional , especially Miss Merwah , who is very helpful , amicable and guided me through my stay. Definitely coming back to Araf

That I didn't stay longer.

The ambiance was truly enchanting, creating a magical atmosphere reminiscent of a fairytale land. The hotel's decor was simply breathtaking, leaving us in awe of its beauty. The breakfast provided was both generous and delicious, offering a wide variety of options to suit every taste. The staff demonstrated exceptional helpfulness, support, and friendliness, ensuring that our stay was as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. The rooms were meticulously clean and extremely comfortable, providing a sanctuary of relaxation after a long day of exploration. The owner, Mr. Omer went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met, always inquiring if there was anything else he could do to enhance our experience.

Heritage hotel, has family heirlooms with modern look. Exceptionally well located, five minutes walking from Mevlana museum, must see sight. Shopping and restaurants to meet all budgets within 10 minutes walking. 15 minutes walking Aladdin Cami, important mosque on hill. Nearby Tile museum exceptional, blue& white Seljuk tiles. Similar tiles on ground of reception area & bathroom floor. Reception area grand, with numerous heritage items especially Turkish carpet 200 years old of Ottoman era. Konya Mutfagi restaurant five minutes walking, we had two typical turkish dishes, Pathican kozleme kebab, Tirit.

Inspite of everything excellent, overpriced, as no facilities other than room

We recently stayed at Hotel Araf in Konya with our family of four and had an exceptional experience. The hotel's location is fantastic, right next to the city center, making it easy to explore all the local attractions. The rooms were amazing – comfortable, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was outstanding, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start the day. The staff were great, always friendly and helpful. The hotel was easy to find and there are many good restaurants close by, adding to the convenience. The décor of the hotel is awesome, blending modern comfort with traditional touches beautifully. Overall, a perfect stay for our family. Highly recommended!

Nothing

The hotel ,as we were expecting from the photographs, was trying to combine the traditional with the modern with a very successful way. Our room was really clean and cozy. The location of the hotel was just great. Even though was not a buffet, the breakfast was exceptional, probably because the quality was really good in everything. Last but not least, the staff was the best thing in the hotel, everyone were friendly and eager to help.Also the suggestions of the owner really helped us to organise a perfect day in Konya.

The most amazing part about my stay in this hotel was the staff. I felt like I was hosted in my friends' home. They were caring, informative and always helpful. Sophia made me calming tea on the first night and another night it was raining she also brought up some herbal tea. She had really great English too. Omar, the owner greeted me at the airport, had so much information about the city and stories to tell and he also is a partner in a tour company so they can set up any trip you need. He even came with me to one of carpet stores to help me buy. The hotel is an excellent experience in boutique hotels for me، and its my favorite experience in Turkey over the last 10 years of travel there.

I wish the room had a bath tub. I was in the junior suite and it only had a shower.
