Trabzon is a working Black Sea city with a compact centre, and it is the base most travellers use for the mountains behind it — Sümela and the Uzungöl valley. The accommodation reflects that: 111 of the 120 places listed are hotels, and they split between the city centre and the valleys inland. Where you stay changes the trip more than which hotel you pick.

Every hotel, guesthouse, campsite and apartment our directory holds here, each linking to its own page with the address, contact details and what the place offers. The list is alphabetical, not a ranking.
City for convenience, food and transport; Uzungöl for the valley itself. Many travellers do one night in each rather than choosing.
It is a mountain-and-weather destination rather than a beach one — the coast is humid and green, and the valleys are cold. Ask about heating and road access between November and March.
For the city itself no, but for Sümela and Uzungöl yes — or a tour. That is why where you base yourself matters more here than in most Turkish cities.
