Pelit Park Hotel · Trabzon
Where to stay in Trabzon: a quiet base between the airport and Meydan
A stay in Trabzon does not have to mean sleeping beside the busiest streets of Meydan. Pelit Park Hotel offers a quieter, family-run base in the Forum and university area, with public transport outside and convenient access to the centre. Here is how that location works in everyday use.
Meydan for the evening, a quieter neighbourhood for the night
Meydan suits visitors who want to step straight into the central streets. It also brings traffic, evening noise and the challenge of finding somewhere to park. Our guests often prefer to visit the centre and return to a calmer neighbourhood. Cleanliness, comfortable new beds and a welcoming family atmosphere are the qualities they most often mention to our team.
Our published Google guest rating is 4.9/5. Alongside the score, the qualities guests most often discuss with our team are cleanliness, rest and the family atmosphere.
Four useful driving times
From Pelit Park, management's usual driving estimates are about 10 minutes to Meydan, 5 minutes to Trabzon Airport, 2 minutes to Forum Trabzon and 3 minutes to the bus terminal. These are approximate journey times and increase with traffic. The location is especially practical when your stay combines arrival or departure, shopping and time in the city rather than a single destination.
Getting into town without a car
Dolmuş minibuses pass directly in front of the hotel. For the centre, take one displaying Meydan; from Meydan, the return service to look for is TRT Bostancı. For the Ganita waterfront, take the Moloz direction. These names are useful to keep on your phone in Turkish. Reception can also call a taxi when you have luggage or prefer a direct ride.
What is within walking distance
Forum Trabzon is approximately 15 minutes away on foot. The outward walk is comfortable, while the uphill return takes more effort, particularly with shopping bags or a pushchair. A ŞOK market is around a two-minute walk away. For visitors to KTÜ or relatives at Farabi, the neighbourhood also provides an ordinary hotel base close to the university and hospital area.
