Nish Atakum Otel

For a business stay, it worked well. The rooms are roomy and very clean, the beds are very good, and the bathrooms are good too. Breakfast was very good. We’ve stayed at many hotels in Samsun, including five-star places, and this one definitely competes with them. I think we’ve had better stays, and there are a few issues, but you can stay here safely and peacefully.

The staff were all very friendly, and the location is handy for the beach, restaurants, and the tram if you need to travel around. The rooms were clean and spacious enough for a couple. Breakfast is included, with a good choice each day, and the price was great for a decent stay.

For a solo traveler, walking in may get you a slightly cheaper price than booking through a website. I’d also suggest paying with cash or a local card if you have one, since foreign Mastercard or Visa payments can be tricky. I stayed with a friend for three nights. It wasn’t bad overall, but I’d give it three stars. The rooms were quite small but clean, and breakfast was just okay, with not many good options.

The workers were helpful, though they didn’t smile. The fridge often didn’t work, and there was black mold on the walls in both the room and bathroom. The beds were dirty. I actually got an eye infection after staying here.
