I think this hotel is used to catering for conferences and conventions, many of them agricultural ones I guess from the posters for serious machinery in elevators, and thus is pretty good at providing comfortable stays but it lacks a bit from the tourist perspective. There is nothing much around here if you don't have a car, just a small market over the road. We were just here one night on a bus tour but I think we were a bit stir crazy and wanted to explore so took the extensive walking / bicycle path along the busy road that doesn't lead to anywhere exciting either and then doubled back through some run down residential areas on our return. These areas still seemed to rely on the old fountains for water but we did find the cheapest baklava place during our stay in Turkey. Interesting in retrospect but not touristy at all. The room is good. There is central heating in winter, cooling in summer with openable double glazed windows but they allow in road noise which stop when closed. It contains a large king size bed with no break in the upper mattress but two single doonas on top. There are two comfortable lounge chairs, another chair and desk and a coffee table with a bar fridge, coffee and tea making facilities and a medium-sized wall-mounted TV viewable from bed. There is a big hanging space and good storage. Power points are located on both side of bed and above desk and work well. It has a shower over bath with full shower screen and the sink has room on either side for toiletries. Good water pressure, warm water and big bath sheets were all OK. Everything is very clean and we had no problems at all. The bar on 18th floor has a wraparound terrace which lets you see about 90 degrees of the surrounding red roofed houses or lights at night which are quite pretty to look at. It had interesting toilets. It isn't usually open as a bar during Ramadan but we ate a three course dinner there one night. My husband categorized it as "convention dinner" style. The buffet breakfast on the reception level has a range of hot foods, an omelette station and a range of Konya specialities. I liked that they had diet food and most food had labels with nutrition info.
