Hotel dekat Palace of the Shirvanshahs, Baku

The hotel is in the old part of the city, next to the Shirwanshakhov Palace and the Girl Tower. Go to the hotel on foot and find easy. The room is clean, the towels are snowy, the room has tea, water, teapot. Health in the bathroom: shampoo, shower gel, toothbrushes - all there are. The floors are warm, we even lowered the battery temperature and opened the window (November) so warm in the room. Very attentive and responsive staff, told the restaurant where to eat. One day for breakfast came to the very end, and Aitan prepared us separate eggs in addition to common dishes. It was very pleasant.

The second hotel we stayed in Baku and still could not provide shower caps (basic amenities?). No water offered either. Staff were ok. Breakfast was good. We didn’t like the rainfall shower head and the room temperature was too warm. (We asked the receptionist to adjust the temperature but still warm. We woke up sweating). The location was perfect, though. A few minutes from Metro, and bustling areas.

I checked in at 10 o'clock on the day of check-in. The front desk staff personally took me to the room. The lady was very considerate and introduced the hotel's facilities and environment to me in detail. The bed in the room was not very comfortable because it was not flat, one side was high and the other side was low, and it collapsed. And the quilt cover was not put on properly. The restaurant upstairs has a good view, the dinner tastes good, and there are many varieties of breakfast, but most of them are sweets. I asked the staff for chili sauce separately. I stayed for four days and was generally satisfied. The location is really good, and it is a three-minute walk from the subway station!

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.

We will forever leave this hotel and the guys who work there! The excellent manager named Edwin, met us as kindly as possible, told about the most delicious restaurants, what sights to visit and where to exchange money. It is very sad to leave, such hospitality we have not met anywhere yet! On the respiratory work is a very nice guy named Ibrahim, he will meet you as kindly. The owner of the hotel also paid special attention to us, treated wine and told a lot of interesting, every evening we spent time in the general company and it was very, very cool! In general, friends, if you are looking for a hotel - definitely choose this place! We recommend choosing rooms on the second floor, the hotel has a beautiful balcony , the rooms are clean and regular cleaning is underway. Guys, you're just the best 🔥

Loved the location. Bfast was great for people who eat european/american bfast. We loved it. Rooms were spacious and ac was great. Unlike some comments i read. Also the nearby shops bravo and all are really good. We liked it in all aspect

I read good reviews and came. On Sunday you can't get to the hotel, the roads are closed, it's about 150 meters to walk, but keep that in mind if you have suitcases. There is no elevator either, so be prepared. Everything else seems to be fine for a 3-star hotel. But, all night until 3 o'clock there was club music playing downstairs, and you can't hear it in the hallway or from the street, but you can't sleep in the room... Overall, the impression was spoiled, I couldn't get enough sleep for an early flight...
