Consul

Great budget hotel near the subway, great staff.

Pros: polite Russian-speaking staff; close to the metro, the center. Heydar Aliyev, Ganjlik Mall Cons: terribly dirty (see photo) When we arrived at the hotel, we were checked into a room that smelled strongly of smoking, there was old furniture that was burnt in places, and it was very dirty. We asked to be moved to another room. We thank the hotel staff for responding to the request promptly and without unnecessary questions - the new room was better, but the cleanliness also left much to be desired (thanks to the fact that the room was not smoky). But someone was constantly smoking in the corridor and the smell penetrated into the room. One day, the hotel completely turned off the water for half a day... But what finally finished us off was the fire alarm, which, due to its malfunction, woke us up several times at night and bothered us during the day. For the same price in Baku you can find much more worthy options, which is what we did, staying in this hotel for 2 days.

We stayed at the hotel for a week. Very friendly staff, trying to help with everything. Even when booking the room, we had questions and they immediately answered them on WhatsApp. When we checked into the hotel we were given a transport card so we could get around the city. The room is clean, everything you need is there. The only negative of the room was that the windows were located on the avenue and it was noisy from the traffic flow. We were in beautiful Baku when the nights were still cold, but we didn’t freeze in the hotel because the heating was turned on. Delicious, filling breakfasts. We also had lunch at the hotel for 6 manats, everything was delicious. The hosts prepared the “Three Sisters” dish (delicious) especially for us. There is a park nearby where you can take a walk in the evenings. The nearest metro station is a 5-minute walk. The only negative is the stairs, the elevator starts from the second floor
