NURALP APART OTEL

I was a bit stuck when I arrived at Trabzon bus terminus without a hotel booking. So I was pleased to find Nuralp at half the price of the hotels around the terminus, and walkable from the terminus, if a little steep up the hill! It's organized as two rooms to an "apartment" sharing a bathroom and basic kitchen. Nice views over the sea from the front room. And though the back room is a closed view, it benefits from a balcony. The owners were pleasant and friendly. But making the stay really special was the daughter Ayse, who speaks excellent English, and gave me detailed information how to catch a dolmus into the city center, recommendations, and solved all problems. It's possible to walk to a large modern mall down the hill. Or take a dolmus into the old center. Some shops and restaurants nearby too. Overall made a very pleasant few days stay in Trabzon. Note, like a lot of hotels in Turkey, it is close to a very loud Mosque! That can result in some shock early morning wakeups, until you get used to it.

Nice hosts, friendly and responsible. Cleaniness was something we really didn't like. The cookwear was really dirty that we got.
