La propriété — Haşimoğlu
Haşimoğlu is a straightforward three-star hotel on Rize’s main strip, a short walk from the coast. The lobby feels like a functional, clean base—it’s not luxurious, but you get tea on arrival and a polite, family-run atmosphere. This place suits budget-conscious travellers who want a no-nonsense stopover before heading into the Kaçkar Mountains or along the Black Sea coast.
Chroniques de Rize
Rize began as a small Greek and then Roman settlement called Rhizus, a key stop on the ancient coastal trade route. It grew modestly under the Ottoman Empire, its economy tied to the hazelnut and then tea plantations that carpet the surrounding hillsides after the 1920s. Today the city has a raw, working feel; concrete apartment blocks climb the steep slopes and the air smells of brewing çay from the vast state-owned Çaykur factory. Its identity remains deeply rooted in tea production, with a contemporary cultural life that revolves around the tea harvest, local cuisine, and emerging eco-tourism in the highlands beyond.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Rize →Meilleurs mois
June and September offer the most reliable weather—warm days, low chance of heavy rain, and fewer crowds than July and August. May is also good for lush green scenery and comfortable temperatures.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are peak season, driven by school holidays and the tea harvest festival (Rize Çay Festivali) in early July. Temperatures reach 28°C but humidity and sudden downpours are common. Hotel prices typically jump 30–50% during these months, and advance booking is essential.
La saison des épaules
May and September are the best shoulder months for discounts on accommodation. Weather remains mild and pleasant, with fewer tourists; May sees spring flowers, September offers harvest-season colours and calm seas.
Météo & Emballage
Rize is one of Turkey’s wettest cities—expect rain any day, even in summer, with high humidity. Pack a waterproof jacket, quick-dry trousers, and sturdy waterproof footwear; leave cotton jeans at home.
Briefing de la ville — Rize
- Road widening between Rize and İyidere is ongoing; expect delays if driving to Trabzon airport.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Haşimoğlu, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th floor (top floor) facing away from Atatürk Caddesi — likely the rear side of the building. This minimises street noise and avoids foot traffic from the lift lobby. The lift only serves four floors, so top-floor rooms are still easy to reach.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (directly above the lobby/street level) and any room facing Atatürk Caddesi. That main road will have traffic noise from early morning; the 10cm step at the entrance is minor but the busy street will carry into ground-floor rooms.
Best views
From a rear-facing room on floor 4 you might get a glimpse of the surrounding hills or tea plantations typical of Rize, rather than the main road and shopfronts on Atatürk Caddesi.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest — furthest from street-level activity and the lobby. The lift is the only vertical transport, so top floors also get less foot traffic.
🔊 Noise notes
Atatürk Caddesi is a central thoroughfare in Rize — expect traffic hum from about 7am to 10pm. The single lift generates some mechanical noise when passing floors, but it's only a small lift so it's not major. No bar or nightclub on-site, but nearby street cafés may add daytime chatter.
Insider tips
Park at Rize Belediye Otoparkı (200m walk, 50 TL/night) — cheaper than any street parking. At check-in, ask for a room on the 4th floor facing the rear; the porter can help with luggage since there's no stairs-only section.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
