Baku Villas

We arrived on the 22 and was welcomed by ismail and checked in by shams from reception both were super nice and instantly gave us one of the best first impression any one can ask for. Our first day we had shawarma from black city and it was the best shawarma we ever had and made us go back again for the taste of it several times. Definitely recommend every one to try. We had the best service by our special favorite orkhan who was super friendly and the team made sure we get the best service. We had to just look once and literally the staff comes running to help. 10/10 for the attentiveness and details of the black city staff. We tried green house but the food is same as white city. Would have been amazing if they had a different cuisine than white city. We had the best shisha made by Hussain who was very kind but didn’t get the same smile and sweetness from the other staff in green house. Service was not bad but as we had an amazing experience from black city where all the staff are super attentive was a little down fall. We had dinner in white city and couldn’t order anything else after we tried the honey baby chicken which was absolutely delicious. We also had lunch twice in white city but the service was super slow due to lack of staff but David while we noticed it was definitely a time of rush he had done amazing while doing the service with a very energetic smile and a very positive vibe. The hotel has a beautiful steam room, sauna and a pool. I met gulshan from spa while I went for sauna who always was super attentive kind with a gorgeous smile. It is beautiful to go for a walk out side the hotel as it’s near a park with ocean views. We had met amazing locals as well as everyone we met were super kind. The hotel has beautiful garden and greenery around the property. We usually take pictures in every country we go but we fell in love with the gardens and the colours around we took pictures just out side the hotel. Lots of mini butterflies and just super pretty and beautiful colorfulness around the hotel. The rooms are spacious and if you love mirrors this would be a perfect place as the hallway to room are filled with huge mirrors. The only problem we faced was that the hotel didn’t have a eu plug and we had to take a walk to get them on the first day but other than that didn’t have any issues. Lastly was checked out by Orkhan from reception who was funny and sweet asked us about our stay and had a good last impression as well. All together a great team at marriot and definitely would recommend to stay as the hotel is beautiful with amazing facilities and to top of has amazing staff with delicious food. Personally this was the best vacation 💕

Very clean and beautiful needs extra star . Excellent breakfast and nice lounge and beautiful view from front to on-look to beautiful park.

Please read carefully. I stayed this hotel for 4 nights, first impression was good. Room was clean and big. Brakefast also quite good. I enjoyed my stay 2 nights but after that my trip has been collapsed. I was trapped by hotel staff. I wanted to change my currency that i had US dollars that time. And outside there is no restaurant and other facility so i have decided to change my currency from hotel as hotel staff suggested me but i got high rate on exchage money. That was no problem because I needed money. Reception area people saw how much money i have and after that they made plan to trap me. One guy came to me and his name is Ibrahim. Working as a front desk manager. He said, if you want tour guide then i can be yours. I really wanted to local person for my travel in baku because hotel is far from the majot activity. At night 9 o’clock when he finished his shift, he took me to nizam street at one nightclub. We had 2 beer and 3 glass of whisky for the 3 girls, girls was setting on our table. We enjoyed that 1 hr. Then bill came and i was shocked. Bill amount was 370 manat. That was horrible. It’s around 220 US dollar. I went to bill counter area and asked about bill. They started to argue with me. I said i ordered only 2 beer and 3 whisky glass means bill around 30 manat as menu card shown. After 2 boxers came to club and they started to argue with me and forcefully tried to tell me pay thr bill. I was scared so i paid 200 US dollar. After i came to out with hotel staff ( Ibrahim ) girl came to me and said , you have paid huge amount and its included with my charge, just go to your hotel room and i will stay till morning. I said , okay. I took her with me outside the hotel area. We were 4 people time time. I , ibrahim , that nightclub girl and taxi driver. Driver asked me 50 manat from nightclub to my hotel. Usually its takes only 3 manat. Hotel receptionist said , its not taxi , its a club car. I said okay and i paid 50 manat also. But after that i realised that i was trapped. I told that girl please go back i really don’t want to go with you in my room. As you asked 30 manat that money i am giving you but please go. But she never go, she started argue and said , i will not go otherwise i will call the police and yes my security guard means that taxi driver will stay here till im in your room. I was collapsed. Hotel receptionist doesn’t say anything. He just stand like a statue.I said to her, okay sleep in to my room and i will spend my time on reception area but for that she is not ready. She always telling me i will call the police. I said okay lets go and i took her into my room. When she arrived in my room she asked 200 dollar. Omg i was trapped. She said , police will come soon if you not ready to give. I was finished. I gave her 200 dollar but she want more and more. I said , I don’t have money now. She took my power charger also. After many fail attempt i request her please go. Then she went. I lost my 400 dollar and 50 manat.

Very nice hotel. Staff at the reception was very professional, specially Zaur who did a great job. The downside of the hotel : - very difficult to get understood at the breakfast, and missing very basic things like vegetal milks which is very surprising for a 5 stars hotel - at the pool we ask for umbrella and they didn’t have.

I don’t normally take the time to review places but considering that they market themselves as a 5 star hotel I want to make sure other people considering this hotel know what to expect at least. For context We stayed in this hotel for a week as a family (2 kids) in a connecting family room. First off when we arrived and checked in, the guy at reception said they would check our documents and to please wait in their restaurant. We ordered some drinks and waited. Meanwhile suddenly they start blasting Indian music so loud in the restaurant (it was only us and another family there) that we had to go ask them if they could please turn it back down again. I don’t know for who or why they put the music on so loud. This also happened when we ate breakfast one morning. After maybe 20 minutes we went to ask reception how check in was going and were only told that “they were checking”. We decided to go and get some late lunch since we didn’t know how long we needed to wait for them to “check” whatever they were checking. If the room wasn’t ready, it wouldn’t have been a problem if they simply said so and gave us a time frame for when it would be ready. But this was a taste of the service to come unfortunately. We had a connecting family room that had one bathroom to share. The master bedroom had only a window which was a small and by the ceiling facing out into the hallway (so no external window) which meant it was like sleeping with lights on all night as the hallway light were always on. In this case perhaps a curtain for that window would be good or installing sensor lights in the hallway so the light isn’t on unless someone is there. The rooms were SO warm and when we went to check about the air conditioning they told us it wasn’t working or they didn’t have it. (Not sure which was the correct answer) They couldn’t give us a straight answer. They told us the heating had been on the night before but that they had now switched it off and allowed for “air” instead. So whatever control you have in your room is basically useless. When we asked if they could allow for the air conditioning to be turned on they just told us they would sort it out but nothing got done. We had to sleep with the only external window open during the night so at least our kids could be more comfortable. Other important things to note - we got 2 towels for 4 people. We asked them to bring 2 more which wasn’t done. Only when we saw a cleaner outside in the hallway one evening (3 nights into our stay) did we get 2 more. - there was no cleaning the whole week. We asked for more water, asked if someone would come to at least remove the garbage and they told us they would send someone but never did. - as shown in the photos, one of the single beds was broken underneath. - several sheets/duvet covers were broken, one example shown in the photos. - there was cigarette burns on the double bed headboard despite it being a non-smoking room. Shown in photos. Also the bathr
