Hotel Sultansaray Sultanhanı stands about a five-minute walk from the great Sultanhanı Caravanserai, the largest Seljuk han in Anatolia. It offers family rooms with air-conditioning, balconies or terraces, free WiFi, a restaurant serving local specialities, a 24-hour front desk, and free parking, making it the most convenient base for visiting the 13th-century monument.
Hotel Sultansaray Sultanhanı is a mid-range hotel in Sultanhanı town, a district of Aksaray province in Turkey, situated approximately a five-minute walk from the Sultanhanı Caravanserai — the largest surviving Seljuk han in Anatolia, constructed in 1229 under Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad on the Konya-Aksaray Silk Road. The caravanserai is a UNESCO Tentative List monument and the principal historical draw of the district. Hotel Sultansaray positions itself as the most convenient overnight base for visitors wishing to see the han in the early morning or late afternoon light, outside the peak coach tour arrival windows.
The hotel offers Standard, Superior, and Family rooms with air conditioning, free WiFi, and balcony or terrace options for those wishing to look out over the historic town. A restaurant on site serves local Aksaray dishes and a Turkish breakfast suited to guests beginning early excursions. The 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals from the Konya-Aksaray E-90 highway, and free parking is provided. Room rates of 1,400–2,600 TRY reflect the mid-range positioning and the convenience premium of the caravanserai-adjacent location. With a guest rating of 4.3, the hotel delivers consistent quality in both rooms and service. Sultanhanı town lies approximately 60 km west of Aksaray city and 120 km east of Konya, making Hotel Sultansaray a practical overnight stop for travellers driving the original Silk Road corridor between these two historic Anatolian cities.
