We were returning to Russia and decided to visit the monastery on the way. We searched on the booking, chose for the price, location and reviews. We did not lose) a great place, atmospheric, with a magnificent view. The breakfast is Turkish, but made in its own way, very tasty. There's not much choice for dinner, but everything we ate is great. The staff is polite and caring, for each action they check if everything is fine :)) the room was just like in the photo, with a good repair, the only pressure in the shower is so-so, but this is not critical. In short, expensive hotels in Machka are not needed, it's great here)
The nearest hotel to the Sumela Monastery. Hotel owner Neriman Hn is very interested. Since the restaurant section is heated by the stove, there is the possibility to toast bread on the stove for breakfast in the morning. Since Maçka is about 15-20 minutes away from the center, I recommend that you do your grocery and other necessities in Maçka before entering the hotel
