The realistic view

Beyond the first impression

Verified information only

A 15-storey, 290-room hotel 50 m from the sea on Rize's western Gündoğdu-Engindere industrial strip - the Temizel-owned property is the city's first and only international-brand hotel. Twelve meeting rooms, a 550-seat auditorium and a 350-seat ballroom fill the eastern Black Sea's congress gap, while the 5,000 m² spa (gender-separate hamams and saunas, shared indoor pool) doubles as a recreation centre for locals. The trade-off is location: the centre is 5 km away with nothing walkable nearby, though it makes an ideal drive-out base for Ayder and Çamlıhemşin.

What it does well

  • Congress, training and launch events; 12 halls plus a 550-seat auditorium and a 350-person ballroom, unmatched in the region
  • Those heading by car to the Ayder, Çamlıhemşin and Fırtına Valley route; Ardeşen-Çamlıhemşin is ~45-60 minutes via the coastal road
  • Families looking for spacious rooms; 36 m² deluxe rooms, connecting rooms and family suites are plentiful in the inventory

What to watch for

  • Explorers on foot: Those wanting to explore the Rize bazaar and castle on foot; the center is 5 km, the surroundings are industrial and road, with nowhere to walk
  • Beach holidays: Those expecting to swim; the sea is 50 m away, but an organized beach or pier setup could not be confirmed, and Black Sea conditions are variable
  • Quiet seekers: Those seeking boutique scale; a 290-room congress hotel setup, with crowded common areas on event days

Location

Rize, Merkez

Engindere Mah. Sevgi Cad. No:18 (Gündoğdu Mevkii), 53020 Merkez/Rize

Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV) is about 30-35 km away, ~30 minutes by car; Trabzon Airport (TZX) ~65 km, ~1 hour. When RZV's flight network is limited, arriving via TZX is common; both are an uninterrupted drive along the coastal road.

The hotel is on the Engindere-Gündoğdu line, beside the coastal road (D010); central Rize and the castle are 5-7 km (10-12 minutes), RTE University ~8 km, the Ziraat Botanical Tea Garden ~7 km. Ayder Plateau is ~75 km (1 hour 20 minutes), Çamlıhemşin ~60 km, Uzungöl ~65 km in the opposite (Trabzon) direction. Rize-Artvin Airport (RZV) is about 30-35 km (~30 minutes), Trabzon Airport (TZX) ~65 km (~1 hour). The location on the coastal road is a major advantage for routes by car; guests without a car depend on taxis and dolmuş minibuses.

The stay

Editor's notes

Noise & sound insulation

A traffic hum can be heard in rooms on the coastal road (D010) side; the sea side and upper floors are calm. During ballroom and auditorium events the common areas get busy; on wedding evenings avoid the floors above the halls.

Extra fees & things to know

Spa treatments and massages are paid; since the spa is open to the city, outside use is charged, so clarify at check-in what your stay covers. Extra beds may not be provided. A card pre-authorization may be requested at check-in; whether breakfast is included varies by channel.

Ramada by Wyndham Rize Fındıklı

Rize · Findikli · ★★★★

A new 88-room hotel on the eastern Black Sea coastal road in Fındıklı's centre, beside the sea and Atatürk Park - at 4.8 on Google, the highest guest score in this batch. It serves Rize-Artvin Airport (30 km) travellers and Batumi-bound routes (Sarp gate ~50 km); the tidy public beach out front, spacious modern rooms and a local-leaning breakfast draw the praise. The kit is deliberately lean - gym, games room, à la carte restaurant, one meeting room; no pool, hamam or spa. Two noise caveats: thin room-to-room isolation, and summer concerts in the adjacent park running to midnight - rooms on the taxi-stand side are quieter.
