The Property — Park Square Hotel
The Park Square Hotel is a no-fuss 3-star right in central Trabzon, a short walk from the Atatürk Pavilion and the main square. The lobby feels practical rather than plush – think laminate floors, a small reception desk and a lift that works – but the location is the real draw. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, quiet base for exploring the city on foot, without paying for frills they won't use.
Chronicles of Trabzon
Trabzon was founded as Trapezus by Greek colonists from Miletus around 756 BCE, later becoming the capital of the Empire of Trebizond during the Byzantine era. Its stone-walled old town and hillside churches, especially Hagia Sophia, date from that period. Under Ottoman rule from 1461, the city grew as a Silk Road port and administrative centre, adding mosques and hans. Today it's a lively Black Sea hub with a young population, known for its hazelnut trade, distinctive local music, and as the gateway to the Sumela Monastery.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trabzon guide →Best months
May to June and September: comfortable temperatures (16–24°C), long daylight hours, and fewer crowds than midsummer. Great for city walks and day trips to the plateau.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: school holidays and the Trabzon International Music Festival in July draw large domestic and international visitors. Hotel prices can spike 30–50% above shoulder rates; book well in advance.
Budget shoulder season
April–May and September–October: mild weather (12–20°C), fewer tourists, and hotel discounts of 15–25% compared to peak. Good for hiking and cultural sightseeing without the crush.
Weather & packing
Trabzon's Black Sea climate is famously wet: June still sees rain every 3–4 days on average. Pack a breathable waterproof jacket and sturdy walking shoes, and always carry an umbrella.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jun 2026Before you check in to Park Square Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on an upper floor at the end of the corridor, away from the lift and stairwell, to reduce noise from foot traffic and doors. South-facing rooms (if your hotel has a clear orientation) typically get more light in Trabzon, but check the building layout.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms next to the lift shaft, stairwell, or any service rooms (like housekeeping cupboards). Also skip rooms directly above the lobby, bar, or restaurant, as these can be noisy until late evening.
Best views
For a view in Trabzon, request a room facing away from the main road — ideally towards the hills or the Black Sea. In a 3-star, corner rooms often offer a slightly wider angle without costing extra.
Quietest floors
Aim for floors two-thirds of the way up from the lobby — this minimises street noise and foot traffic from upper floors. In a standard 3-star building, the topmost floor may have less overhead noise but check lift reach.
🔊 Noise notes
Internal walls in 3-star hotels can be thin. Bring earplugs. Avoid rooms near the ice machine, vending area, or any common door that slams. Weekend evenings may have more local noise from nearby bars or restaurants.
Insider tips
1) Book directly with the hotel by phone after checking online rates — you can often request a specific room or get a slight discount by skipping third-party fees. 2) Ask if they have a quiet zone floor or rooms with a double-glazed window on the street side; if not, a room facing an internal courtyard is usually quieter.
- 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

Top Attractions in Trabzon
💡 Free to walk around the exterior and climb the walls. The lower castle area is now a residential neighbourhood and not much to see. Focus on the upper castle walls for panoramic shots of the Black Sea.
💡 Cable car (teleferik) costs about 10 TL one-way (very cheap in 2025). Go just before sunset – bring a jacket as it can be windy. The tea garden charges standard prices, so you can nurse a cay for an hour without being rushed.
💡 Free entry, but you need a free ticket from the counter. The garden is the real highlight – bring a picnic and sit on one of the benches facing the sea. Best light for photos is late afternoon.
💡 Entry is around 20 TL (2025 price), but often discounted for students. The garden is free and worth a wander – look for the hidden mosaic floors in the courtyard. Ask at reception about audio guide – sometimes free if available.
💡 Go early morning (opens at 8am) to avoid tour buses and the worst of the queues. The walk up from the car park is steep, but shuttle buses run for a small fee – worth it on a hot day.
