  Dishonest taxi service recommended by the manager

  We picked this hotel because it is within walking distance to the train and metro station (about 15 minutes walk). Hotel room is average in cleaniness and filled with cigarette smell. It is particularly bad when we turned on the ventilation fan of the toilet?! There is no tea/coffee making facility in the room but you can hop up to the 4th floor breakfast room (no lifts) where you can have free access. We had a very bad experience with the taxi driver recommended by the manager who refused to go to all the agreed places without charging us extra. We made enquiry at the front desk about public transportation to Goubustan. A man lounging in the sitting area shouted to the reception staff in Azeri. We figured out that he instructed the staff to say there is no public transportation. He came over and said he can phone a friend, "Emil". We negotiated with this man the price of 50 manat to cover Goubustan, the mud volcano and the Fire Temple. On the day of travel, we asked the front desk lady to speak to this driver again the three places he is suppose to take us and the cost of 50 manat thinking that should cover our base. After the visit to the first site, Goubustan, the driver refused to go to the other two locations. Then he asked for 20 manat more. We finally agreed to pay10 manat extra and dropped the Fire Temple. That was a very unpleasant experience to say the least. After returning to the hotel, we confirmed with more than one staff that the man is the manager of the hotel though we were unable to complain to this manager. On check out, the hotel staff put on the invoice the 50 manat taxi charge although we have already pay the man 60 manat!!

  Affordable hotel outside Baku historical centre

  Location: this hotel is located a half an hour walk from the historic centre of Baku. Despite this distance, we did have a good stay here. The room is affordable, compared to other hotels near the centre. No luxury but a decent standard hotel room. The beds were ok though a bit hard, the bathroom and shower were clean. The only thing stained was the carpet in the room. And on one of the nights, a picture frame suddenly fell down from the wall :) The breakfast is on the 5th floor and there's no elevator, so be prepared to climb stairs. Lots of choice for breakfast + staff prepares additional sweets and pastries. Very kind staff, but do not expect a lot of tourist information here (the front desk couldn't provide us with a tourist map op Baku). We got most of the information we needed from kiosks in the walled city.

  It is a small and cheap hotel,with good enough service. It is near to city center and the beach.when you get hungry you can easily find somewhere to eat delicious donar and turkish food. There are are a lot shoppingcenters arround the hotel. Also there are a lot of taxi arround the hotel to get you anywhere you want.

  A nice stay in Baku if you do not have a kid!

  We were 7 adults and a one year old kid who arrived in hotel at around 11 am despite that check-in was at 2 pm. But the friendly staff prepared our rooms as quickly as possible (in less than 15 minutes). The location was in a few minutes walk to 28 Mall, sea side and Nizami St. The staff were helpful to sweep one of our rooms from level 4 to level 2, as it was hard to come down on stairs for an elderly person. Unlike other properties, they suggested us to pay the rent when we check-out. The hotel is exactly the same as in photos. There was no elevator. However, staff were lifting all the heavy luggage for free! There were no plastic slippers in the toilet and bathroom. We asked for tissues in the room and the answer was "we only provide toilet tissues". There were no cups (plastic or glass), cutlery set, toaster, or kettle in the room. Maybe it is not a great place to stay with little kids.
