Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Samsun

Samsun · Ilkadim · ★★★★★

A 120-room five-star city hotel opened in April 2022 at Samsun's Liman junction, run by locally founded MTZ Otelcilik. Location is the trump card - the rail station is 1 km, the waterfront promenade walkable, rooms face the Black Sea or city, and the rooftop restaurant plus an omelette-station breakfast draw consistent praise. Two structural limits to know: there is no pool or spa (just two saunas and a gym) and parking holds only about ten cars - the critical caveat for drivers. Despite the 2022 opening, some reviews cite worn textiles, maintenance niggles and weak Wi-Fi; feedback is polarized.
