This place is in the heart of Baku. The rooms were very spacious and service was top notch. Heated swimming pool, spa and what not. Could have added one or two more different items in breakfast but anyways we didn't eat much. Azerbaijan is a hidden gem. Baku being the main attraction but the out skirts of Baku are truly mesmerizing. Usually people stay in Gabala, which is good place to go but we were so Lucky to have an amazing guide. He took us places where usually are not included in tour packages. we got his contact from a friend and Abit (tour guide) became our friend as well. Day 1: We checked in and went on the city tour of Baku, Some very nice old places to visit, Had lunch with recommendations of Abit (Loved it). Day 2: Went out side of city, with Mud Volcano, Gobistan Museum (Both indoor and outdoor) Day 3: Best one, Went to Gabala, Saw some old (1000 years old) grave year, Went for shooting, Peddle Boat, Amusement park, Cable chair to the top, Went to Umbrella garden, Ate a local street food (Again recommendation of Abit) and then went to another city (Shike). We had another local food here (Pika) at a Resturant recommended by Abit and o boy!!! it was too good. We stayed in Rest house (Friends rest house) at foot of the mountain. Some people prefer hotels in Shaki, But I would highly recommend to stay at this guest house with amazing hospitality. All the travel didn't loose a single second of amazing view. (Friends Guest house +994 55 611 49 29) Day 4: Went to Jumma mosque on the way back to Baku, A fruit farm and farm of Alpaca. Also ate the traditional Donnar and back to hotel. Day 5: Shopping day!!, Some good cloths from Nizami street, We went go-carting, Some sweets shopping and went to Hyder Aliyve Museum (Next to Russel Park hotel). At the Evening, Abit took us for a dinner (again local food and enjoyed it). After the dinner went to a night view at the top to 200 steps. Mind blowing. Day 6: we checked out and went directly to the airport. Abit was an amazing guide. Very friendly and goes far stretch than any other guide would take. He was with us almost 24/7 and very informative. He knows places that are tasty (for food) and cheap (for shopping). Abit (+994 70 277 97 79) Just wastage him he will arrange everything (EVERYTHING) I am just attaching few phots or else will ruin all your surprises
