This is a very good hotel, in a prime location. Staff were amazing, atmosphere throughout the hotel is luxurious, the breakfasts is very good. Our room was very big and comfortable. The room is quite, despite the central location. The only things that threw us off were some overlooked details - There is only 1 towel hook in a double room. During shower, water pours outside, and the whole floor gets wet. The coffee machine is located in a spot that doesn't allow its operation. We had to play with its electrical cable and manually move it, in order to be able to use it. Also, once, after a very long shower, we ran out of hot water (this happened once, and didn't persist). All in all, non of the downsides is major or a deal breaker, but at this price point we feel this shouldn't have happened.

Awesome hotel in a great location in Baku

The service and stay was excellent. Having travelled in the region for a couple of weeks, this was by far the best hotel I stayed in. The rooms were large and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful and the breakfast was substantial. The location was really good as well. Very closed to the old city and other sites. My only negative was I asked for two issues to be looked into, one was the toilet seat, which didn't seem to be addressed and the AC, which again was difficult to see if it was attended to. However, overall this is an excellent hotel and I would definitely stay here again without question.
