Hotels near Aya Varvara Kilisesi, Trabzon

We spent 4 nights in this hotel as a base for our trips in northern Turkey before heading to Istanbul. The hotel was average, with modest rooms and breakfast. Rooms were ok though, with fairly good wifi and a small LCD TV. Bathrooms were not bad and clean. Tea and coffee facilities are present as well. The rooms are quite old and should be refurbished soon, but I think they already have better rooms, probably the ones with a sea view. The staff were friendly but usually couldn't speak english. The location was not very close to citycentre but taxis are not very expensive. There's a supermarket very close to the hotel and they have quite everything from groceries to fruits. Maybe it's not the best hotel in town but for a budgetary hotel it's not a bad choice.

Very beautiful view, Modern rooms, peaceful atmosphere, Nice lobby with eye catching view toward black sea. The seasonal swimming pool and gym were fantastic The lady in the reception was very helpful and expert in her work. We enjoyed the 3 nights stay in Radisson blue Trabzon. Our journey was in the month of July 2024.

The guy at the front desk of the hotel provided good service and the room was cleaned promptly. It is an accommodation choice that can guarantee a good night's sleep during the trip. The hotel can pay in cash, including Lira and US dollars, or by credit card.

Very clean. Roses are faced and helpful workers. Each day a variety of open buffet breakfast. A walk to the square is easy to reach. There is a mosque nearby.

Would highly recommend this hotel. It is conveniently located with lots of shops and restaurants close by. The parking garage is very confusing, however. We did eventually find it underground. The hotel staff was all very friendly and helpful. They assisted us with booking drivers to the local sites like Sumela Monastery. It was a wonderful stay!

The staff are SUPERB, very polite and very helpful. Our stay was very good because of the wonderful staff. They speak very good English. The location is also amazing, in old town Trabzon with cobblestoned narrow streets, full of restaurants, near Trabzon Meyden Park always bustling with people. The hotel is also 5-10 minute walking distance to the Tourist Information Center, drop in before you visit any place as they will let you know how to get there and what will be the price of public transportation. They speak fluent English. The area is safe but keep in mind that like ANY old town of a city, the streets are narrow and hence big buses (or camper van will not fit in). Room was spacious and clean with A/C and heater. We got a room with the view of Black sea. Bathroom was clean and hot water was good. The Wifi was strong. Turkish breakfast was good with cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, bread, butter, jam, honey, tea coffee, olives etc. Its in the tourist area and lots of cars pass by, its a bit noisy but we slept pretty good. Get a room in the higher floors for less noise. We would stay here again. Highly recommend it.

The hotel is located near the consulate (this is the purpose of arrival) and is very convenient in the center. There is a hall with couchs and seats for waiting/rest, all kind of sympathetic. Frankly speaking, I didn't think much, I was very tired. On the respiratory, said about her reservation and extended her passport. Very friendly and smiling receptionists. I was quickly decorated and settled on the 6th floor in room 607. I didn't expect to see a big bed in the single room, it was very pleasant. It was almost clean (I found some garbage under the table) but overall everything is fine. The room is small but for one person quite! The view from the window is only roof and house, the streets are not visible. All it needed was a bottle of water, I had to go to the shop (but I would probably have been able to call and I would have been brought) on the table there were several bags of tea and coffee with cream. The hearing is high, there were constantly some sounds as if without the end was cleaning or I lived next to the laundry 😅 The view of the room you will see on the photo. Breakfast was not particularly interested in me, as I eat only fruit in the morning, but I still looked there. The usual average breakfast is cheeses, omlets, sausages, olive oils, vegetables, greens and a little baking. Solid coffee and tea in bags. Fruit was not completely 😒 upset. Well in general I estimated 3+ almost 4. I will come to Trabzon, I will probably settle there.

We stayed here for two nights, and I strongly advise you to find another hotel. The customer service we received from this hotel was very, very bad, and the issues we had during our stay revealed that the hotel takes no ownership for problems - even problems that it actually causes. To our amazement, no manager was available to talk to us during the entire two-day duration of our stay. The staff had confirmed by email in advance of our stay that they would look after some important packages for us, which would arrive before we did. However, when the packages had arrived, they told the shipping company that they did not recognise our names and sent them away, which resulted in us never seeing them again. They tried to blame the shipping company, but we were able to obtain confirmation that it was not the shipping company's fault. This may seem like a problem that would not affect you, but my strong view is that no significant problem would be handled any differently. The management of the hotel were clearly comfortable to leave ill-equipped reception staff to cope without any support. I have never in my several decades of travelling encountered a situation where it was not possible to speak to a manager at any point during a stay or to have anyone take responsibility for resolving a customer's compliant. Aside from the terrible customer service, I believe the quality of the hotel is nowhere near high enough to justify the relatively expensive cost of staying there. The breakfast felt like an exercise in cost saving (the only bread being cheap white slices, having to ask on both mornings for milk to be provided, no fruit, no variety in anything else), with none of the quality that we experienced in other hotels we stayed in across Turkey. I know that it can be tempting to ignore a poor review when there are others that are more favourable, but I hope my advice is helpful. I urge you to book somewhere else so that you can enjoy your stay in Trabzon more than we did.
