Hotels in Trabzon
We do not recommend you to try to save much on the hotel, because most of the cheap hotels in Trabzon are located below the Ataturk square, near the port, and providing accommodation in them is not always the main source of income. In addition, there it will be difficult for you to find English-speaking personnel.
However, if you do not want to spend a lot on accommodation, you can stay at the Hotel Erzurum, located a hundred meters from the Atatürk Alanı square. Pretty nice quiet hotel with friendly staff, in which traveling alone women will not have any problems. The cost of living is about 25 lire per night.
Near the tourist bureau is the hotel Nur. Staff somehow speaks English, a single room costs 50 lire.
If you are interested in more prestigious hotels, you can choose the Zorlu Grand Otel in the center of Trabzon or on the Novotel. Novotel is located in Yomra, but you will not need more than ten minutes to get to the center of Trabzon by bus or car.
