Radisson Blu Hotel Trabzon

The hotel itself isn't bad, but the location is extremely far out. You definitely need your own car because transportation in the area is very expensive. If it were closer, it would be a great hotel.

A luxurious hotel, though pricey. The sea-view rooms are absolutely stunning. Its location in Trabzon's most beautiful spot, Boztepe, is fantastic, with two famous restaurants right below it. You can even walk to the Boztepe viewpoint. The area is vibrant, surrounded by upscale neighborhoods, residential complexes, entertainment zones, and restaurants. However, the service was slow, which I didn't like. One day they missed cleaning my room, even though I left the 'Please clean' sign out. I approached the front desk staff, who were polite and helpful, but the room still wasn't cleaned. The breakfast was good and tasty, but the selection was less than what I'd expect from a five-star hotel in Turkey generally.

The hotel is located on a mountain. If you book a room on the seaside, you can not only see the ocean but also the entire city. Service was prompt; the necessary items were delivered to the room within two minutes. Overall, it was a good experience, suitable for a vacation. However, going down the mountain can be tiring unless you take a taxi.

Overall, a very pleasant stay. The hotel boasts a beautiful view and a quiet location. Even the rooms facing the forest are very pleasant and ensure restful nights. The extremely friendly and helpful staff deserves special mention. The location takes some getting used to, as the hotel is situated on a hillside, about 10 minutes by taxi from the city center. Overall, however, it's a very good hotel that I would happily recommend.

A truly wonderful hotel, I highly recommend it despite its distance from shops; however, this does not affect its excellent services.
