Art Club

Perfect location and helpful staff, great value.

Well what an experience we had in Baku. My wife and I decided to spend my Birthday in Baku and had an amazing time for 3/4 nights. The hotel is in the old city and is gorgeous with amazing staff and an award winning restaurant. Room 3 is the best room in the hotel which has an outside patio with lovely views of the flame towers. The staff could not be any nicer. Never intrusive but so helpful a testament to their professionalism. On the evening of my birthday, 2 staff members came to our room with a birthday cake and sang happy birthday! When we asked how they knew it was my birthday, they said they noticed my DOB on my passport! This is a lovely gem of a place and my wife every minute of her stay.

Everything about this hotel was just simply amazing and beautiful. So gorgeous in the heart of the old city, welcoming people and great food. I loved the tours they gave me at such an affordable price. Yuslan was brilliant the driver who took me everywhere! Overall incredible experience highly recommend it

Quite disappointed. Firstly, do not book the breakfast. There is no choice at all, it’s porridge or omelette every day - you can’t even get your eggs done another way. The woman who serves it just stands blankly in front of you without saying a word, doesn’t explain the options, when pressed just replies “omelette” over and over. This is served with a croissant, a few olives, and a bit of bread on the side etc. The croissants are soggy and inedibly chewy at the bottom, clearly from frozen, literally couldn’t eat them. Bread is rock solid. We initially thought the price was decent when first booking breakfast (and hadn’t had it yet) but the street is full of cute places offering actual nice breakfasts for half the price, so it’s very high for the area. There’s also no air con in the restaurant and the sun hits it directly so it’s very warm. Besides the sad breakfast, the experience was mixed/poor. Besides the strange interpretation of customer service in the restaurant, staff are generally pleasant and ready to help with luggage. The bathroom is well stocked with toiletries and has a spacious shower, and the hotel’s location in the old town is ideal. 15 minutes from fountain square, maybe 10 to the promenade. Now for the flipside: only one flat pillow each, looking very lost on the large double bed. Duvet is the wrong size for the bed, it doesn’t even each the sides of the mattress, let alone hang over, so you’ll be duvet fighting all night. Room has a lot of floor space but they clearly didn’t know what to do with it, it all just feels a bit lost and uninspiring, certainly doesn’t feel like a boutique hotel at all. For some inexplicable reason they are reluctant to replenish the toilet paper until you literally go down to reception to ask for some each time; the cleaner is happy to replace shampoo but seemingly not toilet paper, and they only provide one roll at a time, so you’re always caught short at some point - just bizarre. Window for the room without a balcony is not to the outside but to the corridor which lacks privacy, not sure if we missed this in the room description but what couldn’t be expected is that the corridor remains fully illuminated all night and the curtains don’t block the light. You obviously also can’t really air the room because of the window situation.

Hotel location was perfect, staff were so friendly and helpful, room was just perfect.. great experience

As said in other reviews, exactly what a boutique hotel should be. Great staff - always ready and willing to help, perfect location - walking distance to most places we wanted to go to, very clean room - whoever cleaned the room did a very good job and a nice and comfortable room. Thank you everyone at the Art Club, would definitely recommend this be the hotel of choice.

Fabulous location, staff all very helpful. It is a fabulous place to visit. It was totally unexpected in terms of what we thought we would see and what we saw. Baku is clean, safe and the architecture is just amazing. So much history. People are all welcoming. Will come back for sure and stay at this hotel again. Thank you Mariam at the front desk.

This is exactly what a boutique hotel should be. Excellent location, welcoming and thoughtful staff, lovely interiors and certainly in my case an extremely spacious room. The hotel restaurant was excellent, attracting both residents and non- residents alike. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.
