Buyuk Sumela - Macka

The hotel is located in a village near the Sumela Monastery. The rooms are quite nice. The only problem was not hot water, only warm. Insufficient for showers. Breakfast is poor, bread and jam in boxes, tea.

It is the Best place in Maçka. You can find English support and quality services.

Avoid going to Sumeka Monastery as they are currently renovating and it is not worth your time.

It’s very bad, dark and smelly also they given the key witch is not working

The cottages (which are not the same as the four star hotel) are very idyllicly located in the middle of nature with outlooks to the Sümela monastery. Some of them are wood-heated which poses some challenges during winter. (When we stayed there) Unfortunately the wood-supply was rather irregular, which caused a cold night every now and then, but that was compensated by the comfy duvets. Over all the communication from the management to the customers may improve, but it's still a magnificent place to stay, regardless of the season.
