Boyuk Gala Hotel

I'm afraid I had a very poor time at this hotel. To be fair I hadn't booked it but was sent here by its sister hotel Atropat which I had booked as they had double-booked and I was left without a room. The room (401) was pretty grim, awful mattress (I could feel every spring) and dirty carpet. The bathroom though can only be described as disgusting - previous occupants' detritus everywhere. I asked for it to be cleaned but nothing changed. Thankfully I was moved to a much better hotel for the following nights. So whilst this hotel may be convenient being inside the Old City my advice is to avoid it and go elsewhere.

clean bed but carpet was awful and smells bad. the terasse restaurant was closed so we had breakfast in another restaurant in cave... soviet version reception seeks bad english and it didn't do our registration to the imigration service so now we can not go to azerbaidjan for minimum 1 year...

In the very quiet UNESCO World heritage Baku Old City. Almost no cars allowed here, thus without traffic noise. They speak some English. And were very helpful completing the Azeri government registration, which is mandatory for foreigners. Breakfast buffet is sufficient and is served in a room on top floor which offers a splendid view over Baku bay , the Caspian and the Flame towers. Room was nothing specal, just a standard hotel room.
