Scenic Hotels in Baku

"Very well located in the city heart, airport transfer is starts/ends at the doorstep of the hotel for only 1:30 ANZ per person one way. Specious and clean rooms with a lot of light. Breakfast needs more attention - choices are limited, with a lot of cakes and pastries on display - not really a breakfast thing! The reception staff needs to take care of comms between the guest and hotel when checking in guest - they refused to honour their own commitment of earlier check in."

"A wonderful hotel located in the old part of wonderful Baku. From the metro to the hotel it is only 5 minutes on foot. Near the hotel there are all the necessary grocery stores, as well as a wide variety of cafes and restaurants. Our room was huge - executive, with a balcony. The room has TV, telephone, coffee machine (which really didn’t work). Shampoo, shower gel, conditioner and body cream are provided in the bath. They also give you a washcloth. Breakfast is a good buffet. There is always something to eat. Very nice and polite staff, everyone speaks Russian. Cleaning and change of towels daily. The only disappointment was that the hotel is located in a high multi-storey building, but the hotel itself is only on the first 3 floors :) so don’t expect a good view of the flame towers from your room :) And everything is fine. I recommend."

"The hotel is located in the old city and it is convenient to all places. It should be opened soon, the hardware facilities are great (as far as the old city is concerned), and the toilets are in good condition. There is no elevator in the hotel, and the old city hotels seem to be like this. The roads in the old city are not suitable for sunk boxes, and taxis can't reach the door of the hotel directly, so living in the old city is suitable for tourists who don't have much luggage. But what made me unhappy during the whole journey was the hotel’s service. I booked for three consecutive nights through Ctrip. I didn’t rest assured that I contacted the hotel via Facebook to confirm the reservation. The hotel responded to the reservation and received it, but when I arrived at the hotel more than 11pm on the first day , The hotel said that there was no room for the first night, and sent me to the hotel next door. The next door was just a small bed and breakfast. The room was less than 10 square meters and had a double bed. The 29-inch box I brought could not be fully opened. I booked with Da Vinci The rooms are totally unmatched, and the hotel’s approach is totally unintelligible! I originally said that I could move back after 12 noon the next day. I went to the hotel reception to confirm at 12:30 and agreed to move, but after I moved in, I told the room that the room was not cleaned. I asked me to wait for half an hour and I sat in the hotel. The front desk waited for more than 2 hours... before finally entering the room, the hotel front desk did not help at all during the coordination period, just let me wait, which was very unhappy! The most uncomfortable experience in the whole process! The front desk service of the hotel was particularly bad, including asking for help to get a taxi later, no matter how short the distance was. The picture was sent to the guest house next door to me. Da Vinci is the same as the picture on the website, and there is no other picture if he is in a bad mood."

"The hotel staff is warm and thoughtful, and the room is clean and tidy. Although the decoration is a bit old, it does not affect the stay experience. I arrived at the hotel early and paid a small fee to arrange early check-in. For passengers who have just flown for nearly 9 hours and arrived early in the morning, it is simply great. The receptionist at the door will take the initiative to help you with your luggage, which is a plus"

"Review of Oldcity Inn Hotel, Baku, Azerbaijan I recently stayed at the Oldcity Inn Hotel in Baku, located in the heart of the historical Old City. While the location is undeniably charming, right in the center of Baku’s historical landmarks, my experience left much to be desired. Pros: Location: The hotel is situated in the very center of Baku's historical Old City, which offers a unique atmosphere with its ancient architecture and cultural significance. Reception Staff: The staff at the reception were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I liked the girl at the hotel reception, who was very kind with the cat. The hotel had a very cute cat, who came into the hotel in the evening and left in the morning. However, despite their kindness, they were unable to provide much help with guest problems such as transportation and logistics. Cons: Cleanliness: The hotel did not provide daily cleaning services, which was disappointing and below the standards I expect from any accommodation. Accessibility Issues: Check-in/Check-out Stress: My biggest issue was with the overall experience of entering and leaving the Old City area. Police and security guards surround the area with barriers, preventing taxis or any other transportation from entering without paying bribes. Tourists are forced to carry their heavy luggage for 2-3 kilometers, which is incredibly difficult, especially after long flights. After an hour of negotiation and paying a 12 AZN bribe (with no receipt or clear explanation), I was finally allowed to enter the area. Similarly, during checkout, the police fined a taxi driver 100 AZN just for waiting outside the Old City to pick me up. This created an extremely stressful situation that overshadowed the beauty of the location. Corruption and Mismanagement: The corruption among local police and security guards was shocking and disappointing. Tourists are regularly stopped and extorted for bribes, making the experience feel hostile and unwelcoming. There were no clear guidelines on how tourists are supposed to manage transportation in and out of the Old City, and no support from the hotel or authorities on this matter. Conclusion: While the Old City is undeniably a historical gem, I cannot recommend staying at the Oldcity Inn Hotel or any other accommodation within this area due to the severe accessibility challenges, the corrupt practices of local authorities, and the overall stress it creates for tourists. If you plan to visit Baku, I suggest staying outside the Old City and visiting the area during the day to enjoy its history without dealing with these logistical nightmares."

"房間設施齊全，性價比高，尤其是負責交通的人員，送我們去大巴站，還幫忙購買大巴票，服務超好！"

"Nice hotel, stayed for one night, located near the fountain square and the Old Town. There is a shop in the same house. The room was not very big, ok for one night. The bathroom is spacious, but somehow outdated, in fact, like the style of the room, I would like something more fashionable or something. Breakfast is good, there is plenty to choose from. It's a little strange that not all the staff at the hotel speak Russian, although the whole city speaks it."

"It was great. The clean staff of the hotel helped us in all the matters of laughterful faces. We were very loved. We had to leave early because of the flight time. They prepared a trip to us so thin that we couldn't stay at breakfast. For everything. Thank you, brother country and beautiful people."

"The room is relatively old, the breakfast is very average, there are not many things, the advantage is that if the window faces the Caspian Sea, the view is good. You can see the Caspian Sea for breakfast, and the view of the Caspian Sea from the window of the restaurant next door is good."

"The hotel was renovated from an old hotel and was a bit run-down. The front desk's English skills are poor. The hotel is all carpeted and difficult to clean. Feng shui is not good, the mirror is designed to face the bed. The room is relatively spacious, but the living experience is still average."
