Sahil Inn Baku Hotel Formula 1 View

Charming hotel, with nice and friendly staff, in a great location. Our room was perfectly clean, and just as it was in the pictures. We read before, that there were problems with the hot water or internet, but we didn't experience any. You have to wait a bit until the hot water reaches you, but after it will be extra-hot if you don't change it. We had our own router in the room, so our WIFI was strong always. The staff were kind, the guy at the reception speaks English perfectly and is very helpful. The metro station, the boulevard, the old city and many restaurants are really close since it is in the city centre. But this advantage is a disadvantage at the same time since there is still traffic during the night (the windows are doing good in keeping the noise out, but it is still not quiet). I can really recommend this place to anyone!

Our stay at Sahil INN Hotel in Baku was wonderful! The hotel’s central location is its biggest advantage—everything in Baku City Center and the Boulevard is just a short walk away. The rooms have a contemporary yet well-maintained design, offering a comfortable stay. The staff truly make this place special, especially Manager Revan, Day Manager Murad, and the entire reception and breakfast team. Their warm hospitality and attentiveness stood out. Breakfast, though with a limited selection, is fresh and delicious. They serve a standard meal for each guest but happily accommodate requests when possible. Overall, a great stay with an amazing team, and we will definitely choose Sahil INN again!

The hotel is not 4* and I do not know the explanation for the 9.2 rating. The positive is its location: everything can be reached with a short walk, and the metro is very close. As I read on other sites, they use the same trick not only with us, but also with other guests. They give you an extremely low-quality, small, hot, dirty, dilapidated room, and when you protest and try to change, the receptionist tells you that you can only pay in cash, and "helpfully" cancels the Booking reservation (as if you only stayed there for one day). , and gives a better room. In the "better room" at least the mattress is comfortable and the bed linen is clean. The equipment is very poor. The one armchair is so dirty that I only dared to sit on it while covering it with a towel. The "terrace" is a joke: a very dirty concrete cube, without any furniture (we could sit on a T-shirt spread on the ground), a bleak concrete staircase leads from it to the shabby miserable backyard. The shower hose and hand shower are missing in the shower. There is no refrigerator. The breakfast is the same every day, very poor, served by 2 reluctant cooks from 8:30 to 9:30. The door of the hotel is a worn iron door of an apartment building, through which you enter a dirty, dark stairwell. The entrance to the hotel is one and a half floors up. Behind him at the reception sits a tired, listless man who practically lives in the hotel. He is on duty 24/7, eats at the kitchen ladies' spot, and sleeps on the sofa in the "lobby-breakfast room" and watches TV there. If you're looking for a centrally located penny hostel, this is the place to be. If you choose the **** hotel shown in the pictures, you will be very disappointed.

Not saying this is a Totally bad place to stay, it does have its Positives such as: Location is dead central & it is the the same building which leads to the Metro Station, However Many points has to be clarified before you book you trip here: 1. This "hotel" is a Single Floor Residence converted to a Hotel. Entrance is a Steel door which leads to stairs that takes you up a Level where you'll face the Reception desk. Then a door leads you to a Hallway / Dining area where tables are set with doors to the rooms are facing the same are (the Pic with dining tables) 2. Rooms were recently fitted out, however poorly. Bigger rooms were little better 3. Checking in, they will always ask for Cash & give excuses for any other payment methods. Or they will ask you to cancel your (free Cancelation) booking & give a small discount if you pay cash. (point here is you cant complain to your booking provider later once you are baffled 4. Breakfast was portioned by trays - like school / prison - & given by person. we actually went downstairs to the grocery & bought Cheese & eggs & had them cook them for us rather that Half of a hard boiled Egg & Jam packet

The rooms are very tired. Faucets leak and fall apart, the walls are dirty, which creates a feeling of disgust, the springs of the mattress "massage" the sides all night. If you need a hostel-level room, it is normal. If you are counting on comfort, you are not here
