Excellent budget hotel in the heart of Baku with simple yet comfortable rooms. Like many hotels in Azerbaijan you have to deal with Soviet Era plumbing and occasionally-clogged shower drains, but this hotel is fairly well-kept and the staff will come fix things for you. My only complaint was that the WiFi was down for half a day while I was trying to do work, but they got it working by the early afternoon. The manager is also very helpful and, if you have a late flight, you can do an evening check out for a fee, provided that your room isn’t booked by somebody else for that evening. As for location, it is a 20-30 minute walk maximum (or a 10-minute car ride) to most sites of interest, e.g., Targova(ya) a.k.a. Nizami Street is about a 20-minute walk. The Old City (İcərişəhər) is about 30 minutes on foot. The best part of the stay is the AMAZING breakfast buffet on the top floor and the large windows with a view of Baku and the Caspian Sea below. The breakfast consists of staples of Azerbaijani breakfast (such as pomidor yumurta) and some small variations each day. (I recommend any of the egg dishes, and the “breakfast pizza” when available.) Azerbaijani tea is served “Russian-style” with a concentrate to be mixed with hot water. The coffee is also good. The restaurant staff is exceptionally nice and helpful as well. This is definitely the best budget hotel near the city centre.

The biggest issue I had with the hotel was that their card reader wasn't working, in the end they made it right, but make sure you have some pristine USD if the reader isn't working

I was for 6 nights at this hotel but they never cleaned my room. Also breakfast it’s not a big deal.

Beds are rock solid… not comfortable at all. Air conditioning needs service. Towels are too small.
