Scenic Hotels in Baku

"Nice hotel, stayed for one night, located near the fountain square and the Old Town. There is a shop in the same house. The room was not very big, ok for one night. The bathroom is spacious, but somehow outdated, in fact, like the style of the room, I would like something more fashionable or something. Breakfast is good, there is plenty to choose from. It's a little strange that not all the staff at the hotel speak Russian, although the whole city speaks it."

"The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to the beach, and there are 2 Chinese restaurants nearby, which is very friendly to my Chinese stomach. The hotel staff are very nice, and the breakfast is also very good. I will definitely stay here next time I go to Baku!"

"The room is relatively old, the breakfast is very average, there are not many things, the advantage is that if the window faces the Caspian Sea, the view is good. You can see the Caspian Sea for breakfast, and the view of the Caspian Sea from the window of the restaurant next door is good."

"Very very good! The English of the front desk brother is very clear, I am afraid that I can't understand it. Then very polite service Hotel breakfast 🥣 In the glass room, you can see the scenery outside. The location is also very convenient to the attractions. This price! It is a large batch of hotels in domestic resorts in seconds! !"

"Sea view room is not bad"

"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."

"I took a taxi from the airport to the hotel, but the taxi driver made a mistake and took us to another Wyndham Hotel in a different area. No wonder the front desk couldn’t find our check-in information... Later, we contacted the Wyndham Hotel for our order, and we took a taxi again It was already very late when we checked in. The front desk helped us upgrade to a king-size bed room for free, and stayed for 2 nights later. The hotel is generally good, but if you don’t drive by yourself, you need to take a taxi to get in and out."

"A friend of ours suggested the Dreamland Golf hotel as a nice escape from the city amidst curfew and travel restrictions for our anniversary weekend. Even though it is just outside of Baku proper, it felt like a perfect escape. The hotel is modern and spotless, and the staff were warm, friendly and extra attentive. The room we stayed in had a beautiful set up with the bed placed in front of the sliding glass doors to the balcony looking out over the greens of the golf course. The hotel staff gave us extra special treatment for our anniversary, with rose petals, candles and special sweets waiting for us upon our arrival. We enjoyed dinner, drinks and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and the fresh air, bright October sun and green space offered by the golf course. It was a perfect “away weekend” even for non-golfers, but with the driving range within feet of the hotel and the first hole a cart-ride away, it’s the perfect place to wake up refreshed to start your 9 or 18-holes. Thanks to Gulnara and the team for such a great stay!"
