Holiday Inn TRABZON-EAST by IHG

The location is out of the city and quiet.

The hotel room looked nice, but as soon as we entered, there was a strong smell. It was a stuffy smell, and later I realized it was coming from the bathroom drain. Every time I went to the bathroom or use the toilet, I felt nauseous. We had arrived late at night, so we were going to get up late, but the Arab guests in the next room were shouting on the phone, ruining our sleep. (The walls are thin, and you can hear the voices of the staff and guests coming through the doors.)

The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming, helping us connect to the Wi-Fi and charge our car. The hotel itself was relatively new, with sofas, desks, and wardrobes—everything we needed was provided. The beach was just a short walk away. Breakfast was average, and the coffee was also just so-so.
